It’s online, but is it on target? Part 3
Dot-what?
Look at the site’s address, what follows the dot?
-Dot-com is not only for businesses anyone can use
it. Dot-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, focused on debates issues
instead of facts, 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 site is 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’s course work up on the web, but that
doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.
Choose
the right !!!!!!
