1st Part MAPping
Growing up and using the internet in High School and on, we were always told to watch out for bogus information on the web, but it is unbelievable how much is actually out on the web. We were never shown how to search to see if the site was a credible source, but becoming a teacher and seeing all the new ideas out for the students to verify and make sure that their site or source is credible is very amazing.
I’m going to start checking the web address, the resources for example, www.easywhois.com for credible author written sites and use www.archive.org to view the history of the website. I am also going to encourage my peers and friends to use the same sites and resources to verify what they have found online.
I thought I was confident in most of the information I’ve used in the past, but after doing this research, I don’t think I am too comfortable to even imagine what wasn’t true and what might have been true.
I think if we fail to teach our students the key to make accurate searches online and finding the right answer, we are leaving ourselves as teachers to fail our students. They might not trust what we are teaching them.
2nd Part-Delicious Website
I love the idea to be able to use a website to save all my favorites to and having others is able to use what I have found. There are so many times that I might be working on another computer or on my phone and wanted to refer back to a sight I had bookmarked and I can’t or even telling a friend or co-worker about a certain site and not remember the name of it.
I know once I become a teacher I am going to be using this website like crazy and I am definitely going to share it with my friends too.
My delicious site is: delicious.com/melissa.love60
