Week 5- Internet Literacy

           Week 5's activity was developing literacy using the Internet. From what I gather of what's listed on your website, the class just visited the websites listed on your page and decided/discussed whether the information being portrayed is a hoax or credible information. So, what I'm going to do is list whether I thought each site was a hoax or credible information.

1. HOAX!
2. Authentic--Ok... not authentic. HOAX
3. Ummm... hoax.
4. Hoax? I don't understand what the point would be, if this was an authentic website
5. Ruritania? Hoax.
6. The layout seems legit, but the info? Hoax
7. Well, it has a copyright. I'm going to go with Authentic on this one.-- Nope. Hoax
8. This one screams Hoax.

Alright so thank you for helping me with this too. All of these sites were hoaxes. The MLK one was the most shocking of ALL! The main point of this lesson was key things to look for and just good examples for your students on uncredited websites. What to look for when checking the credibility of a website. Also... the most notable thing that was pointed out was that just because a website ends in "edu" doesn't mean that the information is censored. Also- the Tilda is a good indication that the information is changeable by that person at any time. We will get to make one next week.
