The Burmese Mountain Dog Club of America
Official Site
http://burmesemountaindog.info
Content: The site does cover the subject in a comprehensive manner however, I struggle to find that the subject is even in existence. It appears to give you all of the information you would find on a breed of dog however there is not a breed called the Burmese Mountain Dog. The links on the page are not valid and lead to pages that cannot be opened. This site does not appear to be on a legitimate subject.
Author/Credibility: The site does site it's sources, however, the links are all dead. The domain ends with info.
Bias/Purpose: The site was created for dog lovers and to share information about this type of dog, again, I cannot find this type of dog, it is a hoax.
Usability/Design: The site is easy to maneuver through and navigate. The layout appears to be spread out and not consistent throughout the page. The links do not work.
This website would not be included on my bibliography.
Funky Shoes
http://www.stephenswork.com/funkyshoes/index.html
Content: The information presented in easily understood but there are no outside links to other website.
Author/Credibility: The site ends with html with a person's name in the web address. I believe this is a personal page created with a hoax product.
Bias/Purpose: The site was create to sell products.
Usability/Design: Easy to use and navigate, all areas are labeled correctly.
This site would not be used in a bibliography.
Digital Citizenship is essential for all students to be exposed to, converse about and question as their digital experiences increase in and out of the classroom. It will be taught in large group at circle time using the projector. We will discuss each of these topics, how they relate to us, why we should know about them and how to handle each of them. Students will also be exposed to these lessons in an authentic way as each opportunity arises from digital etiquette, digital literacy to digital security and digital rights and responsibilities.
Time Spent: 4 hours
As an adult, we laugh about sites like these....but kids don't understand that everything they read on the Internet isn't necessarily true. It is so important to teach our kiddos to question everything! :) Glad to hear you are planning on using this in your classroom! It all starts with you, my dear!
