Presentation transcript:

The Validity of A Website ELACC7W8: Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, using search terms effectively; assess the credibility and accuracy of each source; and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.

Website Validity A seemingly innocent web site related to Dr. Martin Luther King looks innocent enough, but the information on the site itself is definitely not. A student who conducts a search for Martin Luther King in Google will generally find this site in the top five results, claiming it is a "valuable resource for students and teachers." Since research suggests students are most likely to choose results on or near the top of a list of results, many students are likely to click on this site.

The site contains inappropriate content.

How can you prevent yourself from being fooled by invalid sites?

Learning how to read a web address will help you identify its validity. Do you recognize the domain name? The domain name is found after the and www. to the first forward slash /. For example in the URL, jc-schools.net is the domain name. A domain name can sometimes provide clues about the quality of information of a site or tell you what a site is about.

Reading a URL

How to Read a Web Address What is the extension in the domain name?.com and.net are examples of extensions. Extensions are an important part of domain names. You probably know quite a few already. Extensions are intended to show the type of establishment that owns and publishes the domain. Here is a list to look for: COMMON EXTENSIONS.edu Educational organization (most US universities).k12 US school site (not all US schools use this).ac Academic institution (outside of US).sch School site (some schools outside of the US use this).com Company (usually.co in the UK).org Any organization.gov Government agency.net Network.mil Military institution New extensions to look for are.biz,.name,.pro,.info. All are used for commercial purposes.

Who has published this site and how do we find out? If you are ever unsure about the information on a web page and want to know who owns the site or has published the material, go to

Enter the URL easyWho?S

Who owns it? Stormfront.org

The publishers of this site also host the Martin Luther King site. These sites are blocked by an Internet filter at school for good reason.

Find the Publisher of a Website Researching web site owner information may not be something you do all the time, but it may be revealing if you are at all concerned about the quality of information on a site and want to know more about it. Another good source for website ownership is an “About Us” link found at the bottom of some webpages.
