Evaluating Websites

For the first activity, I believe that out of the two websites the second one was true and the first was false. The second site Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie is more accurate with The Quality Information Checklist.

In the third activity, I believe that the second website has the most accurate information about Mankato, Minnesoda. It gives the most information and answers The Quality Information Checklist the most clear.

What we have done in the last two days has helped me learn more about research and reliable websites. I learned how to research and get more accurate results quicker and easier. I also learned how to tell if a website it reliable, from using The Quality Information Checklist.

Citation Sources

Out of all three Citation Sources, Easy Bib, Citation Machine, and Source aid, I think Citation Machine was the easiest to use. It was the easiest for me because it was easy to insert the information and wasn't as confusing as the other sites. Easy Bib and Source aid were confusing because you had to go through a lot of steps to cite the article. But Citation Machine went a lot faster and easier.

Theodore Roosevelt Summary

Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27 1858 in New York. He was the 26^th president of the United States. He was in the Republican Party.  He is a daring and brave historical man, and was a great explorer.

In December 1913 Theodore Roosevelt lost the election against Woodrow Wilson. He went to go see his second son to his second wife, Kermit. He set sail to South America, were Kermit lived. It seems as though as soon as he left everything started to go wrong. Theodore was suffering from Malaria right in the beginning. He then got a cut on his leg from a boulder. The cut got infected with a deadly bacterial infection. The rain forest was sweltering hot, so between the infection and the hot forest his temperature reached up to 105°F. He went through a lot of struggles throughout his journey, these were only a few.

Theodore Roosevelt died on January 6, 1919 and this is summary of his life.

Avatars

An avatar is a virtual image that represents someone on a website, blog, chat room, etc. Someone might use an avatar in personal life by creating it at a avatar website then posting it to the website you want it on. You might want to have it so you can represent yourself to your friends or family, or just for fun. In an educational career you might want to use one to show students what to do in a more entertaining way. You could do that by posting it on a class blog or class website. You could also use a avatar in business by showing customers what your business is about by posting it to your business website. Prior to this class I had never used a avatar. Out of all three websites, voki.com, goanimate.com, and clayyourself.com, I liked voki the best. For me voki was the easiest and fastest to use. The avatars also look a lot more realistic on this site then on clay yourself or Go animate. Voki also alows you to give your avatar your own voice or an animated one, which I like.

Feed Readers

I believe that the Google Reader is easier to use and more organized then Bloglines. Bloglines was hard to figure out and took a lot more time then Google Reader did. Bloglines was confusing and was difficult to figure out how to add or subscribe to blogs. But Google Reader only took me a couple of minutes to suscribe to blogs. So Google Reader was easier to use.
