Bogus websites for website evaluation sessions
The CMIS website has a great list of 'bogus' websites to use in website evaluation sessions.

They recommend the sites for 'older' students ... I use the following ones for grades 3-6:
Sellafield Zoo
Aluminium foil detector beanie
I've used 'Uncyclopedia', but have found some 'oh gosh' content on the home page on a couple of occasions - so don't really recommend it for Primary students.
Also ...
Help save the endangered Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus from extinction!

Drop Bears – The Truth

All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Although the Internet can be a tremendous resource for gathering information about a topic, we found that students often did not have the skills to discern useful information from worthless data. So we set out to develop a series of lessons for elementary age students in which we would demonstrate that just because it is out there for the searching does not mean it is worthwhile.

There are MANY more 'out there'.
Enjoy!
