Website Navigation Tips
Internet is a network of interconnected computers that enables you to search information, share ideas and information with people around the world!
But be careful not everything you read on the Internet is a fact.
We give you some general tips on how to surf the Internet properly:
- First you have to know exactly what you are looking for. From then on, think about the words that best describe what you need.
- If you cannot find the information you need, try searching withsynonyms or general related terms. It is important to write the words correctly.
- There are Internet searching tools to find the information you need. Evaluate and choose the right one: encylcopedias, online dictionaries, databases, search engines like Google, Bing, ...
- Check who the author of the website is. Official websites -created by schools, libraries, foundations, public administrations, etc.- are developed by professionals who look after their web content and updating.
- Compare information to other websites to decide what is good or not.
- Consult the latest update: information may be old.
- Read the information carefully and select what you need.
- When choosing images or texts for your homework, you must indicate where you found them. Remember to cite the web site as one of your research sources at the end of your paper.
