So, What Do I Look Up?

Navigating your way through the Internet can often be a challenge. A good rule of thumb for researching on the Internet would be to avoid blogs, they often contain information that is one sided.

If you are looking for news articles your best bet are addresses with .gov or .org. However that is not to say you should avoid .com sites either. For example http://www.cnn.com/ is a great source to get articles.

When you are doing your Google searches try to be specific in what your are looking for. For example, if you want information about Barack Obama's view on education. It would be best to type, "obama on education" rather than just typing "obama".

Here is a list of some websites you might what to check out for your portfolio.
