Check Your Sources

In this age of technology, it's more important than ever that students thoroughly check the validity of the sources they use and make sure they fit the context of their project or problem. One helpful tool to do this is a series of benchmarks detailing the specifications certain websites need to meet in order to be considered trustworthy and valid for information. Routinely comparing the sites you find to the benchmarks will get you familiar with what reliable sources look like and ultimately make your arguments and ideas more sound.
