While the layout of this site is somewhat eye-straining, it is worth considering as a pedagogical resource, not only because of its importance, but also as an exercise in evaluating Web information. I was led to this by the "Infopacjets Gazette" listserv, which is intended for computer newbies, serving me as a valuable source of tutorials and other pointers for those just beginning to find where the "On" switch is [and I will confess without a blush that once in a while I find something directly useful on the Infopackets site].
Key questions to ask: is the technical content convincing? Does it agree or disagree with other major sites dealing with the same material? Does the particular website and the anonymous authorship increase or decrease credibility?
Sometimes a gem can be flawed, and yet spark our imaginations.
