Dihydrogen Monoxide is

1. a dangerous chemical.
2. water.
3. something that should be banned.
4. the "Invisible Killer".

Both of those sources were UNRELIABLE! But does that mean every video on Youtube and every website on the Internet is fake?

How can we tell if a website is safe and reliable?

Turn to a table mate and tell them what you think! Stop when the light turns red.

Don't fall into a T.R.A.A.P.

Use T.R.A.A.P. to help you decide if a website is reliable.

Timeliness- When is this information from? Is it updated?

Relevance- Does the title match the article? Is it the info you need?

Accuracy- Is the information accurate? Are there spelling errors or mistakes?

Authority- Who is the creator? Is the website .org, .com, or .edu?

Purpose- What is the purpose of the site? To sell something? To inform?

Choose two of these websites and fill out the T.R.A.A.P. form to decide whether or not they are reliable! These websites can be found on our Google Classroom page.
