Website Evaluation

Today I visited Kathy Schrock's website, and used one of her web site evaluation forms to evalute the usefulness of an elementary website. There are multiple bogus websites listed for evaluation. I chose to evaluate The History of the Fisher-Price Airplane. This site is extremely misleading for students and even adults because it is very believable. There are numerous photographs and captions, facts, and figures validating the history. I googled the site to see if it is credible, but I mostly found that it is used as a tool to teach students to evaluate the credibility of web sites. What do you know about Fisher-Price and the Soviet Union?
