= Making your own SAFETY rules: = In small groups, you will be asked to form a list of 10 important internet safety rules you think we should all follow in this class. Don't just come up with tips off the top of your head- find information from professionals on the web. Make sure that you are taking information from PROFESSIONALS though, not just random people giving advice on their blogs. The sites you use should give accurate and viable information! **How do we know if sources are accurate and viable??**

Lets look at a site together. @http://homeworktips.about.com/od/researchandreference/a/internet.htm Is this site credible? Does it meet any or all of the criteria?

= Take Note: = In your small groups, find 3 internet sources you can use to make your list. Make sure the sources meet most or all of the credible criteria (you may even want to take notes about author, organization, matching websites, and currency). Make sure to copy down the EXACT web address so that you can cite and can refer back to the website for additional information. We will work with these more in our next lesson so **DON'T LOSE THEM!!!!**
