Biology Is Life !

Yay! i've never been first!! Ok well I go to google.com and then I just type in the search topic. I honestly do not look to see of the site is commendable or not. I kind of take the lazy way out and just pick one that sounds accurate based on what I just read. My link tells you to consider such information like the author, publisher, and writing style when choosing an accurate website. Here is my link: www.library.cornell.edu/okuref/research/webeval.html
 

i go to google.com and type in the topic of the blog and see what comes up....i try to use one from a newspaper's website but if not then i just use one that looks good...my link says to look for authority, accuracy, and coverage.

To find a website, I type the topic I am looking for into Google. When the results come up, I usually choose one of the first sites displayed. The first ones that are listed are usually the most used and most known such as the New York Times are Washington Post.

http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/webcrit.html

It is a great site because it really goes into detail on how to make sure the website is ethical and truthful.
 

lol looks like everyone uses google.
i use google too so i just look up the topic im supposed to give a link to and then click it. if wat the article says sounds true, then i'll use it. im not sure if any of us actually read the articles...i cant be positive if the link is correct or not but i've never tried to see if it was.

and here's the website that tells if your link is ethical and correct or not:
http://www.studygs.net/evaluate.htm

some tips it gives you are to check who authorizes the site, if their data is true or not, or their bibliography is related to their webpage at all
 

Okay. well when i look for a link for the blog i go straight to google and search for whatever the blog topic is. I only choose links from major news websites, i.e. the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. because i assume that their information is accurate.

this website is supposably certicied by the Wikimedia Foundation.
 

In order to find a website for the blog I will ushually just search the topic. I will ushually choose a website that is not made by one person but a company or a well-known website

http://familyinternet.about.com/cs/internethelp/a/accuratewebsite.htm

This website sais to check to see if the writer gives you references about where they got their information.
P.S. I googled this website too
 

allrighty....
surprise..i used google too!!!
i no its sooo hard to believe...
well i try to use a site from a college or the new york times or something that i have heared of that i believe is somewhat credible...i try to steer clear of wikipedia...because anyone can change that information..
"Gabriella Guadagno discovered the ameoba in the late 1800s"
that gave me a good laugh...and taught me a lesson..
Now that I think about it, it is actually really sad that we get most of our information for really important papers from sites like wikipedia and other bogus sites...
I think we all need to pay alot more attention to the suggestions from our posted sites...
here is mine...
http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/webcrit.html
---it pretty much tells you what to look for and what is considered acceptable and okeedookee to use

*I hope we have a snow day...put your pj's inside out and backwards...jk...lol
Good Night...xo
 

ok..so i use google.com just like everyone else here. the website i went to told me to look for accuracy, authority, currency, objectivity, and coverage. i usually use the website that seems most accurate and has things in it that look like they are true..(which are usually the first ones)...

MY LINK
www.library.cornell.edu/okuref/research/webeval.html
 

Like everyone else, I use Google. Now that I think about it though, I usually don't know for sure whether or not the sources I use are reliable.
This is my link:
http://ils.unc.edu/~fents/310/
It gives various ways of evaluating the reliability of online sources, for example, checking the author or publisher of the webpage.
 

i find the website that i post by typing in the topic name into google or ask.com searchbar.

i only use big sites that i trust to be credible. example: cnn.com, and any other news places

Is there a publishing date?--good way to tell if a website is authentic

ML LADY SAYS!!!....
BAD! I DID IT AGAIN! AH! bny the time i got home from the hospital yesterday cuz my dad got surgery i was complestely distracted with thatt..


oh well

im doing it anyway. even though its really late.


To find my link i go to google and type in the point of the blig ( ex. Gardasil or Cloning food) then, i look for a "reliable" website. I look for well known organizations or news sites. If there are things like spelling ad grammar errors... you can usually tell it's not reliable. This site states that often a site with a tilde (~) in the address indicates that this page is maintained or created by an individual, rather than representing an organization, a business, or a school.

okay so i spelled "By" and "Completely" .. WRONG.
 

This is late but...whatever..

Anyway,to find a website,i basically just google the topic,then look at my results.Sometimes i dont entirely read it,but i scan through it.

http://lib.nmsu.edu/instruction/evalcrit.html


The site basically states what to look for in an authentic imformation website.
 

I usually just search the topic that we are writing about on Google.
I don't really know if the site is accurate or not.

http://familyinternet.about.com/cs/internethelp/a/accuratewebsite.htm
This site offers some questions to ask yourself when you are looking at a website. Such as "Does the author put his/her name and somewhere to contact him?"
 

i go to the google site and i type in the topic in the search bar and i just see what comes up and looks good. i really dont look to see if it is reliable or not.. except for using wikipedia.com because everyone knows how i am with that! this website tells you to look for personal pages by the URL.. if they are personal, dont use them. it tells you to look for information on the publisher, date, and resources in which the information comes from. alot of this information can be found in the URL or on the bottom of the websites.

heres my link!

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Evaluate.html
Thats my link

Ok well, like everyone, I go to google to find most of my research. I know its not the best thing to use but it works. Ususally you know that a website is good if its ends in .org
.com is not too good.

My website says that you should check to see if its someones personal website, what type of domain it comes from, who is it published by, etc.
 

lol i do what everyone does i go to google and search the topic. the way i know a site is honest is because i usually use a site that has a famous name that is very common. my link says to heck out the author and publisher
www.library.cornell.edu/okuref/research/webeval.html
 

My name is the site. :)
I always find my website on google. I don't usually check if they're truthful... actually, I don't check at all. My website says you should check if you can find an about us link, or an author.
 

I use google.com to find the sites i use. I know the librarians and ela teachers have repeatedly told us to use ketcham's databases, but i find it easier to use the web and ussually you get more results..with the risk of having the ones you choose be totally inacurate. The web does have a lot of mistakes, but it cant be all wrong or else no one would use it. I also use the "if it sounds true method"- i dont nother to double check with another site or see if it is reliable. :( The link i chose says to check the person's authority,accuracy, objectivity, currency, and usability.

here is another website for a double check
