In this lesson you will look at a website and see if you can judge the site's content based on your prior knowledge.
Just because something is on the Internet and looks real or true doesn’t mean it is. The Internet is full of websites that are misleading, even dangerous. Anyone can make a website but that does not mean it contains accurate information. You will learn how to look at websites like expert bankers look at money.
