Day 27 [4/27/10]

While searching the internet and on websites for validation, I learned alot actually. I never have looked at a site to validate it. Normally I just use the site! I learned that you need to look at dates, sources, and even just simply headings and titles to make sure that the site you use is valid and credible. The ISTE-Nets T statndard that I think goes well with this is 4a. 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhibit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices. Teachers: a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. This is because everyone needs to validate the websites they choose to get research from. Every site needs to be credible.
