This week we will be focusing on Evaluating & Validating Web Sites using a method called R.E.A.L. Start by watching the video below.


R.-Read the URL-as you learned last week, the URL provides important clues to what the site is about
E.-Examine the Content- Ask questions about what you are reading, does it make sense?
A. Ask about the Author & Owner- Anyone that wants to publish a website can.  Do you trust the author?
L. Look at the Links- Do they work? Where do they take you?
