More Tips 

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Read the website’s home page and the about us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·         If there is an author listed look for a biography that discusses the author’s education profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site search for one elsewhere on the web.

·         Check the date. Facts can change over time so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·         Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·         Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate below par suggestive, and falsifying.

Read Between the lines

Make a judgment about the site reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·        Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted sources. If the site gets those facts right it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·        Study the language used. Is it angry satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·        Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·        Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing whether in print or online should include a bibliography.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

" THE RIGHT WAY IS NOT ALWAYS THE POPULAR AND EASY WAY. STANDING FOR RIGHT WHEN IT IS UNPOPULAR IS A TRUE TEST OF MORAL CHARACTER."
                                                        Margaret Chase Smith

Reflection: well this is trying to say that for you to be a good person or be famous you dont need to be popular and the easy way like for example when somebody is smart like a "girl" and shes not popular shes unpopular you could still be a good person and a true moral character just do the right way and choose the right you will be popular it doesnt matter

Dot-What?

Look at the site’s address. What fallows the dot?

·        Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·        Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts and might not present all sides of an argument.

·        Dot-Gov indicates a government website at the federal state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistic, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·        Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy anyone associated with the university whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on web but that dosen’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
