About The CRAAP Test
C = current Check the copyright date.
R = relevant (Would it be helpful is you were doing research on Lewis and Clark?)
A = Authority (Who wrote this? Are they experts?) Under the About Tab there is an "About the Authors." The first set of information under About the Authors is crazy like the article about the explorers. At the bottom of that, you can click on a link to the real information about them.
A = Accuracy (Could you verify -- or show to be false -- this information with other sources? Is it accurate?)
P = Purpose (Why did the authors post this information?) Notice the other tabs -- including one for Teachers and one for a Webquest. Considering who the people who made this really are, why would they have put in all the work to create this site?
