WRITING

Introduction

The best online research is found when we use websites and search engines that are credible. This means that they are going to give good information that does not try to convince us to think one way or another.

A lot of websites that are ".com" websites are not credible. To find the most factual information about a topic, try to find websites that have the following domains:

.org	organization
.gov	government agency or sponsor
.edu	educational
