It’s online, but Is It On Target?

Research With Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·      Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·      What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·      Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality accuracy?

·      What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·      Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·      Where did the author get this information?

Choose The Right!!!

“The Three Nevers”

Never Lie

Never Cheat

Never Steal

-John Wooden

I agree with John. There are others that you shouldn’t do but these are the most important. Never lie. Don’t tell anyone other than the truth. You will be a trustworthy and honest person, and people will like you better for that. Never cheat. You should never cheat on anything. What is the benefit of it, you might pass a test or a course, but you won’t learn anything from doing so, besides, you might even get caught and face serious consequences. Never steal. Never take anything that isn’t yours. How would you feel somebody stole from you? By doing these three things you are ensured a well feeling inside and a clear conscience. John was a great honorable man and he will be dearly missed.
