Multiple Choice
Which research website can you tell right away is the better, more updated source? Be prepared to explain why!

GOOGLE has a research website called Google Scholar that has a huge collection of articles, journals, etc. from reputable sources! It is great for doing research in any subject!

While Wikipedia may look like a reputable website (it even has a .org ending), it is NOT! Wikipedia information can be created by anyone, and many people go on there just to post false information because they think it is funny or because they think it is correct, but it is not. Wikipedia tries to monitor this information, but things can get missed! Since you should only be using sources that are written by scholars, and since not everyone who posts on this website is a scholar, it is not a credible source!
