Evaluating Websites

1. On Internet Detective the first website titled "Google Gulp" they provide is not a reliable source. The website does not tell you who the website was written by, it doesnt give you who to contact, and it doesnt give you any way of checking if the information is correct. The second website fof #1 "Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie"is reliable. It states who the author is, its is very easy to use and figure out, and all of the links work.
3. Between all three websites they gave you to choose for a state report I would have to choose number 2 because is was the most reliable out of all of them. It gave you many links to other websites, it gave many useful information, and it gives you many numbers for contact information. I wouldnt recommend the first one because it was very unorganized, it gave a false picture on it, and it didnt give any contact information. I wouldnt recommend the third website either because the one big reason is because its on Wikipeda, which is not reliable because anyone can contribute to it.
These past 2 days when we were learning how to check if the website is reliable. One thing I already knew was how to use a boolean operator, but I didnt know how to check if the website was reliable or not, which will help me in the future.

Citation Tool Critiques

My favorite citation tool I used would have to be Easy Bib because it was very easy to figure out and it gave me a lot more options than the other citation tools. I did like using citation machine because it was the easiest to figure out but it didnt give me many options to choose from to pick what I was citing. I thought Source Aid was alright but it didnt ask for as much information as easy bib and citation machine.

Theodore Roosevelt and the river of Doubt summary

On October 10, 1889 Theodore Roosevelt became a father to Kermit Roosevelt. Many years later Kermit moved away to Brazil. About a year later, after losing to regain his presidency, he took a trip to South America. He didn’t just go there to see Kermit, but because he was embarrassed from losing the presidency to a democrat, Woodrow Wilson. On December 1913, he began a journey with his son and other men to explore and unknown land. Theodore and his men joined forces with Brazil’s most famous explorer Candido Rondon. The expedition was supposed to be very luxurious but it turned out very dangerous. All of the men were exposed to disease, hunger, Indian attacks, and murderer within each other. During the dangerous adventure Kermit and Theodore ended up contacting Malaria. Theodore was nearly killed but the men were able to navigate their way out. Theodore never really recovered from his illness. After their expedition they renamed the River of doubt the Rio Roosevelt. Kermit, Theodore’s son, married Bella Wyatt Willard after his Amazon trip with his father. Kermit eventually committed suicide after fighting a lifetime battle with alcoholism and depression, leaving behind his wife and four children.

Avatars

1. An avatar is a character model of a person or thing.
2. A person might use an avatar is personal life to communicate with friends. Another way to use it in your educational career to teach kids about a subject in a fun way. Also one may use an avatar in a business to introduce and sell their product.
3. I have not used an avatar prior to this class.
4. I enjoyed using GoAnimate the best out of the three websites. The reason I enjoyed using this one because it had a lot more categories to choose from, it was easier for me to figure out and it was a lot more fun to use.

Feed Readers.

Our online experience A class had been using readers for a couple days now, and after using both Google Reader and Bloglines I have come to a decision that I like using google reader a lot more than bloglines. I liked Google Reader more because it was easier for me to use and figure out. Also it is associated with are Gmail and iGoogle , so it is a lot quicker to access it rather than Bloglines. Therefore, Google reader is a better tool to use than Bloglines for me.
