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 Think of context, older content, but not necessarily out of date is ok.
