(7B) What Makes an Online Source Credible? by Dario Sulzman https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/r3k91w6z1drxtsfs How do you know whether or not an online source is trustworthy? What markers of reliability do you look for when looking at online sources? en-us 2024-02-07 15:30:10 UTC 2025-08-18 04:26:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Adrian https://padlet.com/newhavenpublicschools/r3k91w6z1drxtsfs/wish/2876795544 I know a source is reliable if it’s from a trusted group or person like if it was from the news, a historian, or someone involved in what I’m researching. If what’s being said in the source is also corroborated by other sources, then that’s an indication that it may be valid.

I also know that the site provides actual evidence, and unworthy sites don’t show signs of actual proof or any photos.
