ENGL 150 (Rescoe)

• Be a savvy Google searcher. Use domains to tell you something about your website.
• What are common "top-level domains"?
  •  .com (think google.com)
  • .edu (think ferris.edu)
  •  .gov (think usa.gov)
  •  .org (think redcross.org)
  •  .net. (any ideas?)
• Only government sites (.gov) and educational institutions (.edu) can be given those domains.
  • .gov are considered the gold standard for reliable online information.
• Beware!
  • Website addresses ending in .org, .com, and .net can be dicey. Anyone can buy one.
• Think about each online source before you decide to use it for your research!
