Internet Sources and Websites

We created this list together. What should we look for when using Internet sources?

  • Think about what we said when we talked about YouTube.
  • Where is the information coming from? (who is the author or sponsoring agency?)
  • Why does this information exist? (is it to persuade you of something, sell you something, inform you about something, etc.)
  • Is the information factual? Can you verify it in another source?
  • Does the website cite other sources?
  • What is the currency of the content? Does it matter? Think of context, older content, but not necessarily out of date is ok.
