It’s online , but is it on

Part 2
Research with attitude
Conduct your research with
the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re
trustworthy, ask these questions:
·
Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or
organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
·
What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject/
has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality
and accuracy?
·
What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling
products or winning votes- that could result i biased or incomplete
information.
·
Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
·
Where did the author get this information?
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
