Evaluating+Web+Sites

My final nugget comes from the material that we have covered in class. The thing that has stuck with me from the material that we learned in class is how to critically analyze a website. Things like the who is website have helped me look at websites with a more discerning eye. Being able to do this has helped me on several different levels. This means that I can look at material on the web and judge some relative value of the source and figure out whether or not I can trust the information.

“Who is”: Using “[|who i] s” to determine the owner of a website is a tool that I will definitely use in the future. By determining the owner, it is easier to find out the motives and bias of the site. I did not realize that anyone can create an .org webpage, so I think “who is” is becoming even more important as more sites are created by unreliable sources.
