Standard II


Mapping activity

The website I chose was the feline reaction to bearded men. When I accessed this site it didn't seem very well planned out, and they didn't have very many sources of information. Overall, I didn't find the site to be very credible, especially since it was on what I call a 'humor site'. I’m not very shocked to see that the website wasn’t very credible. However, I am a little surprised that all of the search engines used the same technology; it really came down to personal preference. Once starting college and listening to my professors I started using more credible search techniques. I use the school’s library catalog quite often to find articles and when searching google or yahoo I am always sure to check the credibility of the site I have accessed. This isn’t just for school purposes, but it is also to help protect my computer and teach myself good methods of finding information. When I start teaching and I instruct my students to use the internet I will make sure to check all of their references as well as express to them the difference in the typical website created by anybody and using the websites that hold credibility. As for teachers, if I see something doesn’t look quite right or I am addressed with a question by either the teacher or a student, I will do my best to answer any questions presented and steer them in the right direction.
