      1) Content - The content in this article is remarkably good. It seems fair and unbiased and is written as a serious post. It provides details on the facts and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the loss of this plane 2) Credibility - CNN by itself is a reliable source. But also they provide links to outside articles on the page to corroborate their posting of the story. 3) Critical Thinking - Based on the information in the article you can deduce a lot about the plane and the issues with the search. I helps you think by mentioning important details and providing links to search for more information. 4) Copyright - This page itself was copyrighted in 2014. This article itself was posted on Sun March 16th, 2014. Meaning that it was updated today. 5) Citation - This site cites its references and provides links to them for additional information. 6) Continuity - Because of CNN's informational network this site can be updated within hours if not minutes. This up to date information provides room for new information to enter the article. 7) Censorship - This is posted and maintained by CNN so there is most likely some degree of censorship. But the comments can be posted immediately. However, if your post is tagged as offensive they will remove it. 8) Connectivity - This site is vastly interconnected both with corresponding articles on CNN.com and outside articles. It's easy to use and Easy to navigate. 9) Comparability - This page can be compared to many other pages. In fact, this article is the center of many websites referencing its information for reposting. 10) - Context - The scope of this page in context is a little biased. It tries to hint at the fact that the plane could have been hijacked and focuses on that speculation only giving a slight reference that the Ministry of Transportation has said that they aren't pursuing it that way but are looking into all of the information on why it deviated.

Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps Sr. 'on the edge of death' - NY Daily News - 0 views

    • chris mackie
       
      1) Content - The intent of the content was to demonstrate the encroaching illness of Rev Fred Phelps. 2) Credibility - This seems to be a fairly credible source as the write (Doyle Murphy) also writes for the New York Daily News. 3) Critical Thinking - I am familiar with Rev Fred Phelps SR. from watching the protests of his church group on the internet. That being said, I have also seen numerous false death reports. Because of his (and his organization') reputation it is possible that someone is lying to create disbelief. 4) Copyright - The site itself was copyrighted in 2013, but this article itself was uploaded Sunday, March 16, 2014, 1:53 PM 5) Citation - This article includes citations from where it received the information and pictures. They also provide links in the article to easily access the original text. 6) Continuity - This article can be updated but only by the site admins itself. That means that it most likely has the most accurate information. 7) Censorship - This article appears completely uncensored. It includes some graphic language and images. Because of these points I can deduce that the facts are not altered. Also there is a moderated comments section but those posts appear uncensored 8) Connectivity - The site was easy to find and navigate to. It can handle multiple users at a time without issue. It contains links to the other parts of the page depending on if you want to continue reading on a different topic. 9) Comparability - I checked a couple different websites to see if they had a similar article. And they do. By checking other sites I can confirm that this is most likely a fact. 10) - Context - The context in this article tries very hard to just be neutral and factual about a man with such a horrible reputation. It does so decently, but the comments at the bottom do not. They are as inflammatory as some of the protest signs Fred Phelps is commonly known for. Web Page Evaluation: Currency - 10, Content

What is disinformation? - 0 views

    • Adam Myers
       
      This has one of the best definitions of Disinformation that I was able to find.
    • Jackie Davidson
       
      The best definition as it relates to the internet and not so much as to politics-
  • untrue communication that is purposefully spread and represented as truth to elicit some response that serves the perpetrator's purpose.
  • Disinformation
  •  
    Disinformation is a type of untrue communication that is knowingly represented as information to elicit a response that serves the perpetrator's purpose. The term contrasts with misinformation, which is also false but presented as truth because the communicator does not have the facts straight.

  • internet is useful for information dissemination and news gathering, social media for connecting and co-ordinating groups and individuals, mobile phones for taking photographs of what is happening and making it available to a wide global audience and satellite television for instant global reporting of events.
  • all of these digital tools allow them to bring together remote and often disparate groups and give them channels to bypass the conventional media, which is usually state controlled and unwilling to broadcast any news of civil unrest and opposition to the government.
  • Rapid internet interaction through Twitter and Facebook gave information to the protesters about how to counteract the security forces as they tried to disperse the protesters, maps showing locations for protest meetings and practical advice about such things as what to do when teargas is used against groups of protesters.

      The points listed below are exactly how I feel towards the internet and technology. Yes, we spend lots of time on the computer, hand held devices, and video games which are not helping in the way we speak, read, or write.  I feel it is actually making it harder on us humans that operate these systems.

  • ...29 more annotations...
  • 2. Become incredulous and indignant.
  • 3. Create rumor mongers.
  • 4. Use a straw man.

  • Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule.
  • 6. Hit and Run. I
  • 7. Question motives.
  • 8. Invoke authority.
  • 9. Play Dumb.
  • 10. Associate opponent charges with old news.
  • 11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions.
  • 12. Enigmas have no solution.
  • 13. Alice in Wonderland Logic.
  • 14. Demand complete solutions.
  • 15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions.
  • 16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses.
  • 17. Change the subject.
  • 18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents.
  • 19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the “play dumb” rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.
  • 20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution.
  • 21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body.
  • 22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s),
  • leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.
  • 23. Create bigger distractions.
  • 24. Silence critics.
  • sh. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you
  • think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.

Frankenstorm Sandy Will Bring Flooding, Storm Surges to the East Coast | TIME.com - 0 views

  • will almost certainly be the largest storm to ever hit the East Coast, with a reach that extends some 450 miles beyond its core
  • “We’re looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people,” said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A drone strike couldn’t be better targeted to cause maximum damage than this storm
  • NOAA put the storm surge threat from Sandy at 5.7 on that 6 point scale—greater than any hurricane observed between 1969 and 2005, including Category 5 storms like Katrina and Andrew. NOAA’s National Hurricane Center says that “life-threatening storm surge flooding” is expected along the mid-Atlantic coast.

  • amplified by the fact that Sandy will be hitting during high tide
  • The sheer oddness of Sandy’s arrival begs the obvious question: Is climate change involved here?
  •  
    This article by Bryan Walsh was published before Hurricane Sandy made landfall. It looks at the scientific data from NOAA's Hurricane Research Centre. As Time is a publication read by a large number of people, as opposed to NOAA, this media outlet provided the general population with detailed storm information and why the storm should be taken seriously.

      using technology in school is helping the growth of children and developing a stronger learning process and technique. Utilizing these applications helps to keep the children more interested in their school work and the tend not to lose focus
  • The study concluded that children, especially in low income groups, learned an average of 7.5 more letters than children who didn't use the system during the same time period.
  • A new study indicates that preschoolers become literate faster in a curriculum that uses video and online technology. Menlo Park's SRI International conducted the research at a school in East Palo Alto. Do literacy skills increase when preschool classrooms incorporate video and games? To answer that question, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting commissioned Education Development Corporation and SRI International. They studied 80 classrooms from New York to Ravenswood Child Development Center in East Palo Alto, where Tanya Senegal teaches 4-year-olds. "They're great," she says. "As you can see, they're eager, they love the sound, they love the music. And I like the fact that they can get up and be engaged with the video. They don't have to just sit."
