Can you create a website? Can you make it look great? If so, you can see how a person with limited knowledge about a subject (but with good knowledge about the web) can fool people into thinking that they are experts on anything. In fact, if you wanted to, you could go to Wikipedia and submit an article detailing your experience in Vietnam! (FYI: Don't do this, even though it would be very funny.)

Validity
Reliability
Accuracy
FIRST: Look up these words to figure out what they mean. SECOND: Find the Purdue OWL guideline for evaluating sources. Take notes in your binders and learn from what you have read.

FOURTH: Take a quiz to see if you know what you are talking about.
