I explored the Applied Digital Skills: Evaluate Credibility of Online Resources.  This couldn't have come at a better time; we are in the middle of our growth mindset research projects in ELA 10. We have been looking for credible articles in various databases and articles on the internet.  One of the biggest hurdles when researching is finding quality and reliable articles.  We focused on the web address, biased/unbiased, currency, reliability, accuracy and purpose.  I love the idea of the rubric; I used something along the lines of a table that had check marks.  I am happy to see that I am on the right track when it comes to helping students find credible resources.  I love the terms in this resource.  This will, hopefully, carry throughout the students’ lives, especially when deciphering whether a news source or website is credible or not.
