Project 7 - Benefits of Blogging
Blogs are an easy way to share brief ideas with your
teacher and classmates. In this project, you are going to share what you
know about validating websites as credible.
By credible, I mean
you trust the website to provide accurate and factual information. This
is a critical part of any research project because there are many
websites that contain peoples' opinions, inaccurate information, and
sometimes outright lies.
Review the list of bogus websites on the DigLit7 wiki. Review one or more of them and post a comment with three reasons how you identified the website as not credible. The reasons must be unique and not already used by another student.
How to Tell if a Blog is Fake
ReplyDelete1. the U.R.L
2. the adress
The website is fake because:
ReplyDelete1. .edu and .gov is always legit, .com, .net, .org, ect. aren't always
2. Search the details (towns, people, ect.) if the names show up (on .gov, or .edu) for something that the article didn't relate to, the first website isn't legit
AMAZON RIVER, Brasil - Tons of people have seen a monster emerge from the cold, brackish water of the Amazon River. This frightening otherwordly creature from a slack lagoon comes complete with scary scary sounds that sound like this a little "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and everybody runs.
ReplyDeleteThe first sighting of this thing happened a long time ago, they tell me, and gulp I don't want to keep reporting this story, it's too scary and nerve wracking, but I will push on, the first sighting came when an old woman was taking a breather on the sand and lolling about, "la la la", and then, "AHHHHHHHHHH" it came out of the water all drippy, and when the thing was actually discovered later that year (you ever notice how someone can see something but it's not "discovered" until a guy from university wanders into the tent?)--whad the hell? oh it's just the fridge starting up--and was officially labeled a monster then all hell broke loose.
This is a little kid.
also, this website has no sources.
CLYVEN THE MOUSE:
ReplyDeleteWhen you listen to the live audio feed of Clyven, they repeat the same sounds over and over again. Also, when you try to test your intelligence with Clyven's, it doesn't work.
This is no doubt a fake website.
It also doesn't give a place where the hospital is located
