After completing the MAPping information activity I was not surprised at many of the results. I have been reasonably aware of how I must be very deliberate in choosing information to read and study on the web. I did really like the easywhoisit.com website and was unaware until now that you could find out who created a website and the additional details that were included. I will use this when researching information for school. I was surprised at how low my score was when I took the online quiz. There were many extensions of which I was not aware of there meanings.
There are endless negative implications if students do not learn to properly research the validity of website information they read. They will have false assumptions and a foundation of misguidance that will be hard to overcome. They may become completely distrustful of internet news/education if they do not understand how to determine the soundness of it.
My delicious account is http://delicious.com/dochlp . I am so happy that I learned about this tool. I have favorites saved on my personal laptop, iphone, and work computer. It is very obnoxious to have a favorite on one and not the other and this is the perfect solution for me. For example, if I am working on a project at home and want to finish it while I’m on lunch at work I will have the information at my fingertips rather than racking my brain wasting time trying to remember what websites I should go to. I would like to use this tool in the future by connecting with people of like interests in nutrition, fitness, home keeping and spirituality. Here is a handy youtube video that demonstrates how to maneuver through delicious.com
