Projects - Tips and Reminders

Remember these tips when doing your research projects:

.org = organization - probably a good webpage
.gov = governement - probably a good webpage
.edu = education - probably a good webpage

.ca = Canada - search deeper to find out if the page is ok
.com = company - search deeper to find out if the page is ok


Tips

Look for:

- Advertising on the page, too much is probably not good
- Can you contact the webpage creators - no = bad webpage, yes = could be an ok webpage
- Date - when was the webpage last updated???


Good search engines.....

Fact Monster, Infotopia, Kidtopia (see the links in the 'Encyclopedia' section)

Richmond Public Library - homework section (see the link in the 'Books' section)

When searching in Google or Yahoo be very specific for your topic area!!
