Search Engines

Before you start surfing the net trying to find information, be sure to see Mrs. Hitchcock to check if there is a more direct way to find the information you are looking for --- REMEMBER DISCUS.  Also check out the Internet Resources link (on the media center home page) to see if these resources are helpful.

Remember, ask yourself if the source is reliable. If you are not sure how to evaluate a web site see Mrs. Hitchcock.
