SAFETY ISSUES!
DO NOT GIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE IT’S A SECURE SITE
UPDATE YOUR VIRUS PROTECTION SOFTWARE REGULARLY
DO NOT DOWNLOAD FILES FROM STRANGERS OR OPEN EMAILS FROM PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW
THE INFORMATION YOU ARE OBTAINING SHOULD ALWAYS BE VIEWED WITH A CRITICAL EYE (FOR EXAMPLE INFORMATION FROM SITES ENDING IN .EDU OR .ORG ARE USUALLY MORE VALID AND UNBIASED THAT THAT ENDING IN .COM)
WWW.WIREDSAFETY.ORG
INTEGRITY OF MATERIAL ON THE WEBSITE
What can the URL tell you? (.edu,.org, .gov, .com, .net)
Who wrote the page? Is he, she, or the authoring institution a qualified authority?
Is it dated? Current, timely? Is information cited authentic? Does the page have overall integrity and reliability as a
source? What's the bias? Could the page or site be ironic, like a satire or a
spoof? Does the cite have any certificates of authenticity in
the lower right corner?
