week+ending+March+11th

Hi Brier, As you know, we're sometimes going to do something other than the standard 'reading log'. We will also use our Wiki to come to understand reading other things besides our fiction... the Internet, for example... Hoax websites: things to do: 1. check the hyper links 2. check 'contact us' 3. check the base URL 4. go to www.altavista.com, type link:(and website address) and see whom it is linked to

Here's your job: 1. go to three websites, one from the hoax site, and two from a Google search about the digital divide. With all three, do all of the techniques listed above. Explain for each of the three: do you think it's a valid site, and why do you think so?

I think that Cristian Wrestling wwwJesus21.com lead to odd places like Cristian wrestling federation. On the contact us it has the **congressman** Henry Hyde saying I'm a 652 month old fetus. At the base URL it says that there is the pearly gates newspaper. One of the places that links to the site is hoax websites.

The hyperlinks on the digital divide talk about the computers to 100 people and show a map. The base URL www.wikipedia.com talks about current news. Altavista shows that the places that link to Wikipedia are all good sites. Wikipedia is a trusted site. So I think that it will be a good site.

The page Digital Divide. On the links it has what it is and why it matters. On the contact us page it talks about the guy who did the website was a Buddhist teacher and that he taught technology in Asia. In the base URL www.digitaldivide.org it talks about and introduces the Digital Divide. The Altavista site shows that the web page gets linked to by Wikipedia and other sites on the Digital Divide. I think that it will be a good site.


 * All in all a good job, Brier. I am impressed with the improvement this time in your use of punctuation and capitalization. It's a good thing we've learned not to trust Word grammar check entirely!**
