Evaluating Websites

When I had to evaluate the website Google Gulp, I found out that the information given did not meet the requirement to tell if the website was true or not. The website did not have the contact information which is an important key. The other website I had to research was Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie. The website met all the requirements on the checklist, so the information was true. Out of all the other three websites the best one to use was http://www.mankato-mn.gov/ because it met all the requirements and the other websites did not.

Citation Critique

     Out of all three citation websites, the one I liked the best was Easy Bib. I liked Easy Bib the best because it was easy to use. With Easy Bib, you do not have to fill out as much information as you do for Source Aid or Citation Machine. My favorite thing about Easy Bib is when I wanted to cite a book, all I have to do is search the book up at the top and click cite and then it will fill out the information for me. I really did not like Source Aid because there were fifty-eight options that were available and you had to pick which option your paper would be categorized as. Also, I really did not like Citation Machine because there were numerous amounts of information you had to fill out.

Theodore Roosevelt became president of the United States in 1901 to 1909. After he was president, he and a small group of 55 men went on an adventure to Brazil to explore the River of Doubt.  He went on the trip to get away from all the politics. On the journey he faced many hardships such as deadly rapids, Indian attacks, disease, starvation and murder. On the trip he nearly died. When him and his son came home, his son got married and had two children.

Avatars

An avatar is a graphical image that represents a person on the Internet.  People might use an avatar in personal life for gaming online or for fun. Other ways a person can use it in an educational way is to show instructions or a lesson for the day.  Also, business avatars can be used to show an idea to an office meeting or a group of people. No, I have not used an avatar for another prior to class. Out off all the websites I like clay yourself because you could see other peoples avatars, make cool scripts and you could create funny and weird names for your avatars!

Feed Readers

Last week I have been on two new feed readers called Google Reader and Bloglines. Both blogs are great but if I had to pick my favorite it would have to be Google Reader. It was easier to use and more organized than the rest. Also, it walked you through it more than Bloglines did.
