One way to help students in your workshops and classes appreciate the value of evaluating web sites when doing research is to show them a real shocker (such as the white-supremacist created Martin Luther King web site, which I won't link to it here and help boost its Google ranking further) or a fake or spoof web site. If you are looking for some new sites to use, check out this list from Philip Bradley on his web site (while you're there, take a look at his blog, too, which I find indispensable).
