Today day in Human Geo we talked about writing notes. Then we
debated on the topic of wiki and if it was a good source for writhing papers or
not. Mr. Schick thinks that Wiki is one of the best starting sources for
papers. He finds it silly that so many other teachers are against using it.
This is because so many people think that you and I can go in and change
information, but believe it or not you’re wrong. This is because you have to register and go
through different processes to be allowed to change information. To Mr. Schick
it is the world’s best encyclopedia, and to tell you the truth I agree. Yes, I
realize that you can’t use it as a primary souse for projects, but it’s a great
way to narrow down a broad topic into a couple options. Finally, after this discussion
Mr. Schick showed you different websites and we had to decide if they were legit
or not. One way of doing so is by look at the way the page is set up. Also, you
can sometimes tell by the way a website ends. Like if a website ends with .gov
you know everything on that site is true. Only sometimes you can tell if a website is legit or not if it ends
in .com or .org. This is because no one can use that ending but the government.
These are just two of many ways to tell if you can trust a website or not.
