ESSAY

The internet offers a great source of information; however, how are you going to make sure that these pieces of information are reliable.

SLOGAN

You have learned that the internet consists of a variety of information that can be readily accessible through search engines.

Therefore, we do online navigation. But not all information is relatable to your topic and not all information can be readily accessed. As a learner, you now can gather specific details depending on the situation presented to you.

Yet always be reminded that not all information is vital and not all information is a good one.

As the generic saying goes, “Think, before you Click!”

Being an individual, you must use these engines responsibly in order to achieve your objective.

Using your Social Media accounts, create a slogan or campaign regarding proper and responsible use of internet.

Use the tag, “#ThinkBeforeYouClick!”.
