WEB BASICS FOR CRITICAL THINKING

SEARCH ENGINES Use a variety of search engines: Google Yahoo! Dogpile AltaVista HotBot Lycos WebCrawler Bing

VALIDATE ONLINE INFORMATION READ THE URL Do you recognize the domain name? What is the extension in the domain name? Are you on a personal page?

EXAMINE THE CONTENT Ask questions about what you are reading: Is the information useful to your topic? Are there additional resources and links provided? Do the links work? Is the site current? Do you know when it was last updated? Do you think the information is accurate? Does the information contradict information you have found elsewhere?

ASK ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND OWNER Is the author’s name provided? Is there a contact person or an address provided? Is there biographical information provided about the author? What kinds of results do you see when you do a search on the author? Who owns the website? ( What is the history of this site? (

LOOK AT THE LINKS Forward Links: What are the URLs of the forward links? Do the domain names change? Back Links: Who is linked to the web site? Why are they linked? What do other sites say about the material on the site?
