The resource I chose to evaluate was located on the Education Research Complete database. I plan to use this article for my final paper because the information is relevant to my topic. The authors have strong opinions, but they back them up with examples throughout the text, and give their references in a bibliography. Both authors are college professors, and their viewpoint is influenced by their experience at that academic level. However, they address several of their points to young children, which makes it an appropriate source for my research. The publication it appeared in, the Phi Delta Kappan, is described on the EBSCO journal site as "...the professional journal for education..." The article was written after the CIPA law and rulings took effect, and the points are still valid today. The article gives comprehensive explanations for four main reasons that Internet filtering is not effective.
