Look at the update. Do you think the information is accurate? Does the information contradict information you have found elsewhere? * There is a Examine the Content Worksheet form at the end of this presentation.

  10. Student Activity • LUsing the following URLs see if all links are valid and look carefully at the incoming links.

  11. I wonder? • if you use the site, Wayback Machine http://archive.org on a personal site will it work? • what good is it to allow misinformation? • how would you feel if wrong or old information was being used about you? • why do people trust Wikipedia if we all know it could be wrong? • what are the comparisons between the grammar and syntax of print with the Web?
