True or False Questions

• There is an email address listed in the website, so it must be a legitimate source!
• There is a logo of the White House at the top of the page, so I can definitely trust
this website.
• The website looks really professional. It must be accurate.
• There are a lot of graphs and charts on the site. With all this information it must be
true.
• It is clear who wrote the content beacause there is contact information and the
information seems current and error–free. I can safely use this information for my
homework assignment. (is it objective?)
• I should always compare the information I find online with at least 2 other sources.
• I should always be a skeptic when it comes to information that I find online.
• I should always think about what’s missing from a website.
