We had to find a reliable and resourseful website to be able to find information. We had to be able to find the publisher and the date of publish, we also had to find the author ( if there was one). To make sure the website was valid we had to use easywho. Which allows you to find out information about your web page and the publisher and the author. This webpage allows you to find out if the owner of the website owns any other websites. If there was anything wrong with the webpage, easywho would notice this. We also had to find out if the website was owned by a private company, an organisation or an individual.
So for example i would type in a website i may be using e.g. FACE BOOK.
You are then able to find out who wrote it, what date is was published, when it expires, the author, and if the author owns any other pages.
We have to ensure we choose a accurate and reliable website. If you are using a website for a academic reason, you will have to ensure the website is written by a reliable source.
I would use a website which has the url..
gov.uk or ac.uk
Which is a reliable source and shows me this has been written in a academic and accurate way.
By doing this task I have learnt to never use Wikipedia
as it can be written by anyone, and anyone in the world can add or take information away from it, so this shows this is not a reliable source, and the information may be inaccurate.
From doing this activity I have been able to find out if information I am using from the internet is reliable and correct. This activity has helped me with different tasks I need to do for university e.g. essays.
