It’s Online, but Is It on Target? Part 3


It’s Online, but Is It on Target? Part 3

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?
·      Dot-com is not only for business; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individual.
·      Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.
·      Dit-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.
·      Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

Choose the Right!!!
