CRAAP website evaluation

The website I used, 4parents.gov I found very useful. The website had an “about us” page which showed me who was responsible for the website and who wrote the articles. Also the web site had a good list of all their sources that they used to write their article. All of the links were working perfectly so it was easy to use the website, and it showed that the website was kept up and not old.
The article I read was called Teen Mom and it was very useful for my research topic. I know the article was relevant because it showed when it was last updated, which was August 13, 2009. The article was short but it was helpful. Also it gave another website at the end that might be useful to my research topic. Overall I think the article will be useful to me when I write my research essay on teen pregnancy.

  1. I agree that this is a credible source because it does state the date it was published, which is current, and it has contact information. I like how the website clearly shows three options for teen mothers and has factual data supporting them.

  2. This websire seems to be a good source! I like how at the bottom of the article it states when it was last revised, you wouldnt have to search through the website to find the date it was last revised.its right there for you! and I also agree that all the links were working as well! This is a good source for research!
