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. Looks for clues ABOUT the website and not the actual text or images.
the website treeoctopus is not true there is no sources and the pmail Node #2619-G, WA, Cascadia does not exist
ReplyDeleteSellafield zoo is a fake site. 1) The writer said in the credits that the site was fake and was just for fun. 2) The person also wrote about the fishing activity that they fish in lakes and rivers but no specific place. 3) This place is a visiting place and there is no address or contact to ask where it is.
ReplyDeletetree octopi 1 personal info does not exist 2 company is fake 3 the pictures are of toys
ReplyDeleteThe website http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ is fake. 1) The site has no "about us" page telling us about the author or the sources that were used.
ReplyDelete2) The site is a .net. Sites that are .net, .com, or .org can be reliable but are not your best bet. Sites that are .mil, .gov, or.edu are usually reliable.
The Website about Clyven the talking mouse is fake because 1. The website asks do you want to live chat with Clyven and mice cannot type and are not awake 24/7(that is when you can talk to the mouse) 2. McWhortle is not real because the picture of the building on about us is pixles on some random building
ReplyDeleteThe website about male pregnancy isn't valid because 1) one of the woman i looked up isn't real 2) One of the links to look up his journal wont show up when clicked on 3) Another link when you show up says this link isn't found or could be removed.
ReplyDeleteClyven the Transgenic Talking Mouse is not legitimate
ReplyDelete1. because the mouse never moves in anything and is clearly photoshoped into his box
2. The intelligence game is impossible and does not let you win
The website MoonBeam Enterprise is not legitimate because:

2. The website tells you that if you want to go to the page that works you should type in the URL you are already on.
Treeoctopus

2 the pictures are fake
3 there is no company and there is no way of proof
GenoChoice
ReplyDelete1. The doctor Elizabeth Preatner is not real, there is no medical research on her, and no medical certificate.
2. The website does not say where Dwayne is located, no address, city, or state.
3. For contact us, there is no number you can call, only putting in your email.
This site is clearly not valid
i am doing this site http://descy.50megs.com/mankato/mankato.html. You can tell this website is fake because of these three reasons it says that the site has been hijacked, it says that the website is 100 percent recycled electrons, and it says please recycle when finished using the website but it is impossible.
