It’s online, but is it on target? Part3


Do what?
Look at the site’s address. What follow the dot?
·         Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-com includes well unknown and respected companies, but also private individuals.
·         Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of fact, and might not present all sides of an argument.
·         Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.
·         Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with university, weather a world- renewed scholar or a freshman, can be given space course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information accuracy.
Choose the right
