2Learn.ca 'NetCheck pages help you sort out the best sites so that you can use them and share them at home and school. Always ask these questions when visiting websites.

Hint:  If you open two browser windows, one showing this form and the other showing the site you're visiting, then you can copy/paste text from one window to the other--this is very useful when you copy the URL.

Instructions:
  1. Ask these questions when you visit websites.
  2. Answer them in the space provided.
  3. Ask for help if a question is unclear to you.
  4. When you are finished, press a button to see your page!

What kind of place is this?
bullet 1. What is the title of the page? (Click in the box and type your answer.)
bullet 2. Where did you find it?    (What is the URL that you can see near the top of your screen)
bullet 3. Check if there is a "Home" button at the top or at the bottom of this page.
Visit the "Home" page.  What is the title you see there (if different from the one you wrote above)?
bullet 4. a) Who is the organization, company, university, or person that sponsors it?
b) How do you know if this source is one you can trust?
Is this a high quality website?
bullet 5. Write one or two sentences that describe what this site makes you think about:
bullet 6. Can you see anything missing on this site that you think would improve it?  Explain.
bullet 7. Would you recommend this site to others?  Why or why not?
