How do we know if a website is reliable?


These are questions we should ask ourselves:

  • Does the web address end in .gov, .edu, .org?
  • Has it been updated regularly?
  • Are there spelling, punctuation, grammar mistakes? 
  • Does it look professional?
  • Do you see advertisements?
  • Who is the author?
