*evaluating Websites*
What questions can you ask yourself as you look at websites and decide if they have reliable information?
WHO - Who wrote the website? A person? A company? Is there information that tells about the author of the information?
WHAT - What does the information tell you? Does it make sense? Is it truthful? Do you think the information would be confirmed by others?
WHEN - When was the information written or last updated? Are there dates on articles or on the website itself?
