IS IT CREDIBLE?

Not all the information you find online is reliable or trustworthy. It’s important to use your critical thinking skills to assess and evaluate the reliability of websites and information you discover.
 

Understanding URL’s


Check the website's URL. The first part of it is called the Domain Name – that's the address of the whole site, and it ends with some letters that tell you something about the site's origin or author.

.gov – government. Statistics, facts, public information.
.org – organization or foundation
.edu – educational website. School, university, library
.com – commercial
.ca – Canadian
.net – internet service provider (often personal websites)
~ indicates a personal page
