5/20 Internet

Overall, the Internet isn’t a good source of factual information because there is no requirement that information published there be checked or approved for accuracy. Anyone can set up a Web site and publish anything they wish. What often happens is that authors of sites copy from each other, so if inaccurate information is published on one site, it can easily spread to many sites across the Internet. If one makes use of the Internet for research, one must use a developed set of selection criteria that limits one to only the most respected and reputable Web sites. Otherwise, one runs the risk of accepting rumor and misinformation as fact.

Proper Blogging

To Most Students,


I have read all of your blogs. Some of the things that I have read are very insightful. There were several well written posts. I am a little disappointed however. Some of you are not taking this seriously. What you write on your blog is a reflection of you. Your post should be written in complete sentences, and use proper spelling and grammar.

The Internet is a public place. All of your classmates, parents, teachers and others can read your blog. You need to make a good impression. One day a college or employer may read your blog.

Ask yourself this question. How do I look to others when they read my blog? Do I appear intelligent? Is my blog a real reflection of me?

I hope that you will take the time to write thoughtful posts that show you a smart intelligent individual. Your blog is also a reflection on your parents, family, teachers, community and school. How do you want to be perceived? It is up to you.
