Website Evaluation Video Contest
World Book is holding a contest for the best kid-produced video on evaluating websites.
A couple of things made me giggle about this.
They (wisely) promote looking for bias, among other criteria, while judging sites. I wonder how many kids will point out the bias in a (not free) encyclopedia making a big hoopla about evaluation criteria.
And the video by these hipster “Rhett & Link” guys. I had to look them up in Wikipedia to find out who they are. I wonder if there’s a World Book entry on them.
Heck, the big prize is a Macbook, and it could be a fun media project for the kids. There will be winners in three categories: K-8, 9-12 & post-secondary.
