Evaluate Sources and Credibility

The internet hands you billions of pages, videos, and posts in a single search. Some are written by experts who cite their evidence; others are guesses, opinions, or outright lies dressed up to look real. Evaluating sources is the skill that decides whether your homework, your beliefs, and your decisions are built on facts or on noise.
