Topic 10: Online Sharing

I used Padlet as my choice for this project because it was very simple to use and also required no log in which is awesome. I defiantly could see myself using Padlet in the future even though I am not much of a online sharer. It was also neat that you can post on peoples wall anonymously so that you don't have to reveal any information to others. Padlet had no instructions on creating your wall but really does not need it because its that easy to use.

Here is my Padlet example:

Topic 9: Evaluating Information Web Sites & Citing Sources

3. You are responsible for writing a paper on the production of electricity in your state. Which resource is least likely to have biased information:

My Answer: The electric company that sets the rates for your electricity

Actual Answer: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov)

It makes sense that the Agency would have least likely biased information because it is government controlled. The electric company could have biased info because they are a company so there purpose is to persuade consumers to invest in their business. 


9. When you are assessing a website's objectivity, which of the following would you not examine?

My Answer: Advertising on the website

Actual Answer: The currency of hyperlinks on the website

I have always ignored advertisements because the amount that is displayed and how often you see them everyday. I always thought that advertisements did not matter but some ads actually relate to the websites.
