Finding Credible Sources

Finding Credible sources can be very hard at times especially if you don't know what your doing and don't know how to search for your info. So for all of the PC students out there reading my blog you may find it useful that on edline there is a research database that is a wonderful flow of credible information, it can also bring you to other sites that may have useful info too. Now back to finding credible sites alot of sites on the internet are credible, while others are not. It is a nice skill to have to know how to spot clues to see if it is credible or not. One of these things you have to spot is if there is an https in your url. the s in https means secure meaning there is some sort of security on that website there for it is a legitimate website. Number two on the list of things to do, Wikipedia is a good source to find other sources but sometimes it will give you not so good sites the way to spot this is if there are many weird adds, maybe there is no publisher for the website or if it asks for person information. "NEVER GIVE THE PERSONAL INFO" Third on the list is, is the site popular and does it have a good security rating. Sometimes if you have a security program it will list the security rating of the site. and if you look it up on google or yahoo or whatever search engine you use you may find that the higher on the list the sites are the safer and more popular they are. So kids that is your lesson on Internet saftey and Site Credibility. SeYA NEXT WEAK.
