• Websites:
     
    Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are popular search engines, but fourth graders should not be searching with these tools without parental guidance.

    Be careful when using open-source sites like Wikipedia for school research projects.  It is not appropriate for academic research at any level, due to the non-expert sources for much of the information.  However, there might be links in the reference section that might point to useful sites.

    Check out this site about      The Pacific Northwest tree octopus. 
    It is a perfect example of why users of the internet should always view content carefully and verify the information they find.  Many students actually believed this was a legitimate site and that the creature was real.
