Today in class we talked about websites that are
good to do research on. We had this discussion about Wikipedia whether this was
a good source or not. It is a good and bad thing; you can always see where they
get the information from and you can update the encyclopedia. It is also bad
because anyone can change some of the words to make it false. We also said if
it ends in “.gov”, it is a pretty secure website. If it’s a blog or some ones
opinion on something you should not use this as a source. Another thing was, if
the website was too basic it probably means anybody could have made it, unlike
a website like NASA where they put time and effort on it. You just have to be cautious
with the websites you use and make sure it is pretty legit. That pretty much
wraps up what we did in class today.
