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, focus on
debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an
argument.
·
Don’t-gov
indicates a government website at the federal, state or
local level. The federal government is a
good source of statistics, and its sites are 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
