How to Find Quailty Sources Online

When searching for sources online you need to be aware that virtually anyone can post anything online and call it a legitimate source. As an educator you need to mindful of that when locating quality sources. To locate true quality you have to take advantage of all the resources that you have available to you. As a college student I have access to databases and library search engines that direct me to authentic sources that I can rely on. I can also use internet search engines, such as google to find your sources. The thing with internet search engines is you need to look at the site itself. If the domain of the website is a .com or .net you need to be careful. If the domain name is an .edu or .org or .gov its a more trusting and reliable site. If you chose to use a universal encyclopedia such as Wikipedia be sure to go to the sources provided, and use them directly if they prove to be a quality source. For my Mirco Lesson the quality sources I will be using are:
