It’s online, but is it on target?
Part 3
Don’t-what?
Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?
. Dot-com is not only for business; anyone can use it. Don’t-coms
include well-known 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
an debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an
argument.
. dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal government
is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the
most reliable.
. dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.
. dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published
research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the
university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space
on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but
that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
