Alleluia Community School: Evaluate Sources

The problem with searching for information, and especially on the Internet, is that we don't always know where it comes from and whether or not it is worth trusting. 

Be selective and evaluate the information you find by:

• Consider the information source, and give the content a critical look over.
• Using a tool to guide to guide you in evaluating the source for credibility and relevance.

You can use the CRAAP Test linked in the PDF above, or zoom onto the infographic on the right, to help you decide whether or not you should use the information you find for ANY source, not just for the Internet.
