It’s Online, but Is It On Target?

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 passes 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 in biased or incomplete information.

        ·       Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

        ·       Where did the author get this information?

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student Success Statement

"Character is higher than intellect."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reflection:

Our character show what kind of people we are. If we choose the right, then we have a good character. A good character shows that we are honest, respectful, and responsible. Also, it shows that we follow the rules. If we choose the wrong, then we have a bad character. A bad character shows that we are not responsible, liars, and it shows people can't trust us. A person with a good character is a CTR champion.
