Talk:Tidbits in Tech: Integration in Education/How to Judge a Website's Credibility

Sunday, Nov. 21

I tried looking up the url Prof. Kim sent us and nothing we did Thursday showed up, so I tried recreating it, but the advertisement heading isn't showing up. I put the subtitles in alphabetical order. Not sure if I like it. What do you guys think? - Shauna

I've updated the author, sources and conclusion sections and in the references, I listed a few of the websites I mention. The conclusion is temporary and will change as we get done our sections. Feel free to read over the author and sources section, because I have no idea if I need more or less information. Also, Prof. Kim wanted us to list the references in APA style, but is there a specific way to reference an entire website? - Shauna

Tues, 11/22 I was logged in for quite a while and created information under: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EDL_325_Instructional_Technology/2/Team_4 last night. I will try to redo my work today. Frustrated! Sonja

Tues 11/22 Through email we have been discussing APA style and how to turn in this project. Have looked through Dr. Kim's PowerPoints and do not see her requirements for this assignment's completion. I will email her now. Sonja ....I now see that it was addressed in an email from Dr. Kim: "In your team Wikibook chapter site (the URL above). In the D2L assignment folder (.docx) and in Google Site (with a hyperlinked URL, copy and past the content)."

I updated the conclusion (it might need more).

Sonja, in your advantages section, I changed the word "google" to "search engines" to make it a little broader.

Overall, I think we're doing well. - Shauna

To John's "bias" portion, I ever so slightly tweeked it to point out that Fox and MSNBC are more entertainment than journalistic sources. More to come later today. Sonja

Proofread for the word "you" and replaced it. Sonja

11/27

Mentioned that use of a primary source is best in the "sources" section. To the "author" section, I talked about looking for spelling and grammatical errors being a tip that the source may not be reliable. (Serious authors will edit their work.) In the date section, I pointed out that it’s ok to use older sources as long as it is backed by more current information. Said that updated older sources are ok. Added to the conclusion. .....And all of my contributions today showed up as "69.23.98.246" instead of "Ruschs23" for some reason??? Sonja

I updated my references and alphabetized all of them. I think it looks good! (I don't know why you're changes showed up under a number Sonja, but it looks like it's done that before...) - Shauna
