Finding and Checking Information and Media

I know that… I can… For example…
not all online information and content that I see is reliable

use search engines to find information and make use of search terms to generate better results

 evaluate what information or content may, or may not, be reliable

search for information required for my learning

use bookmarks to save and retrieve information on my web browser

use the internet to legally access content for entertainment including films, music, games and books
  • understand that not all entries in online encyclopaedias, such as Wikipedia, are true or reliable
  • search for news using a browser such as Chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari
  • stream music from legal sites such as Spotify or Apple Music, or watch streamed movies from legal sources such as Netflix or Amazon Prime
