Chapter 30

Chapter 30 talks a lot about using the internet as a source for a paper, something that even at the college level many students struggle to do.  using the internet as a source for papers has become much more common over the years as libraries and books have become much less common throughout the learning society. 

A couple of things that someone should keep in mind when looking for a source online is the ending, where the website originated.  If the source that you are using has a ".com", a ".gov" or a ".edu" and so on.  Some endings can be trusted much more than others can.  A ".gov" website can be trusted fully seeing as it is a government website that is monitored and watched to make sure that the information is truth.  A ".com" website is usually trying to sell you something, seeing as ".com" websites are websites that usually do most of their business online and do require money to stay afloat.

Throughout my years as a student teachers have also mentioned the use of Wikipedia as something that should not be done.  Wikipedia is a website that can be edited by the general public, therefore some believe that it cannot be trusted and some teachers go as far as to not accept Wikiupedia as a valid source.
