The truth about Google
• Google is a business, not a service
• When you Google something, the results are different from when your friend Googles it
• Examine the website carefully
Websites can have excellent information
• Consider the motive of the writer
• Advert?
• Look at the small print
What’s ‘good’?
• ‘Peer reviewed‘
• ‘Primary source’
• Examine the motivation for writing
• Examine who paid for it
• Educational authorities
• BBC, Government

• If you need more layouts you can make extra masters. Go to Master slide view and create new ones.
