WEBSITES AND SEARCH ENGINES

Not all websites are good. Some have a ton of pop- ups and scams promising you money...

Some are sites that look good but can infect your computer with a virus when you click on the link...

...and some sites are complete hoaxes.

Any website including or ending with “.gov”. or “.ca”. The “gov” means it is a government site and the “ca” means it is a Canadian, government or government-sponsored site. Examples include: The official Government of Canada website: The official Province of Manitoba website: The Addictions Foundation of Manitoba: The official United States of America website:

Any website including or ending with “.edu”. This means it is an educational institution such as a university, generally in the United States. Example: University of Illinois: *Note: Canadian University websites end in “.ca”: University of Winnipeg: University of Manitoba:

Websites including or ending with “.org”. This means it is an organization of some kind. Examples include: Turtle Island Native Network: Seven Oaks School Division: *Note: Some organization websites are good; some are not. You must decide, based on how consistent the information is, whether it looks official or has many pop-ups, etc. Wikipedia, the infamous “anyone can edit” dictionary, is an organization:

 As a starting point / background information ONLY.  Never use Wikipedia as a cited source  Scroll down to check their sources and external links

Any website including or ending with “.com” indicates that it is a commercial website. Some might still be good, but many are useless. You must make that judgement call. Examples are:  Youtube:  Hotmail:  Facebook:  Amazon:

Some “reliable” websites are not actually reliable!

Pay attention to details!

Find out who owns / published the site: Internic.ca or Whois.NetWhois.Net

The more sources the better!

When you need good information, use “Advanced Search” to save time and get better results.“Advanced Search”
