It’s online, but is it on target? Part
3
Dot-what?
Look at the site’s address, what
follows the dot?
-Dot-com is not only for businesses anyone can use it.
Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private
individuals.
-Dot-org usually indicates
a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but
others have political agendas, focused on debates issues instead of facts, and
might not present all sides of an argument.
-Dot-Gov. indicates a
government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government
is a good source of statistics, and its site is widely considered among the
most reliable.
-Dot-mil is used by sites
that are part of the military.
-Dot-edu usually indicates
a university website. While its published research is generally considered very
trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned
scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes
put student’s course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching
for the information’s accuracy.
Choose the right !!!!!!
