WEB SITES
All Web sites have been listed as including the http:// but this is not always necessary to include when accessing the sites. The later versions of popular browsers will include it for you and in some cases it is not necessary to include the www. You can try it without the www to save some typing, but if it returns with an error message this could be the problem. Simply retype the address using the www, keeping in mind errors in spelling or leaving out the dots "." or slashes "/" will also cause the browser or search engine to be unable to locate a particular address. All sites included in this document have been reviewed for student viewing as well as validated for accuracy, authority, objectivity, current updating, and topical coverage.
