Ms. Behan's Classes-IB

How can you tell if a website has trustworthy and reliable information?

Use the C.R.A.P test
Currency- How current is the information?
Reliability and Relevance- Can you trust the source? Is it appropriate for your topic?
Authority- Who wrote the information? Is the person or organization an expert on the topic?
Purpose and Point of View- Why was the article written? Is it biased?
