Everything you read on the Internet is true, right?!

Wrong! Desperately wrong! Anyone and everyone can create a website, make it look completely professional and believable. In this day and age, you are bombarded with information everywhere you turn. It is your job to become good consumers of this information. But how do you do that? How do you tell the difference between a scam and a very credible source? First, you need to try it on your own. Click on the link below to open your first assignment. Before you do anything with the assignment you need to rename it by adding your first name to the already existing title, "Scholarly Research" --it should look like this when you are done: John Scholarly Research. Begin the assignment by clicking on the first link. Spend some time reading through the homepage of the website, click on a couple of the hyperlinks it provides, and visit a couple other pages on the website. After you do this, make a judgement...is it a credible website or a complete hoax? In the space below the link, write your answer and then support your claim with examples from the website.

Scholarly Research?

Once you have completed your assignment, share it with me at jacobsc@wdmcs.org. Together, we will discuss your answers and go back over the examples.
