This is the article Team B used on slide 1

sz - The internet's effect on literacy (60/100) (2 stars) A&C - 15 C&C - 10 C&B - 18 C&L - 12 N&C - 5 Did not find this article credible. Although the author was clearly defined with a detailed job description, the article did not list the date it was written or when it was copyrighted. It was hard to read because of the jumbled information - not relating to the article - intermingled throughout the copy. This article also remarked on both sides of the argument. This is a case where you want bias to be support your statement. They also cited what a source was saying in the article and did not give credit to the original source.

Screen 3 - Team B

howard - too much screen time (86/100) A&C - 15 C&C - 16 C&B - 18 C&L - 19 N&C - 18 I loved this article and found it highly credible. The author was clearly stated, but there was no bio or contact information. It is a recent article. the company who published the article has been around for many years and covers a lot of topics concerning children. The focus of the article was on screen time and it's negative effects not just the negative effects of the internet. The sources that were quoted are quite well known and therefore add to the credibility of the article. The article is very easy to navigate and read. There is a copyright displayed for the website but not exclusively for the article.

UCLA - decline in critical thinking (77/100) (3stars) A&C - 10 C&C - 16 C&B - 18 C&L - 15 N&C - 18 The author is not identified but the source of the article is cited. The page origiantes from UCLA - a highly reputable university. The article was written in 2009. It is a little old. A revision date is not displayed. The site is also found reputable. The article has a clear focus, is easy to read and navigate, and filled filled great content. The article is biased, but not overly. There are several quotes from the source, a distinguished professor at UCLA. The are not any links to any other resources, but there is one back to the university itself. There is not a copyright shown for the article. Overall, I found this article credible.

coles - negative effect of the internet and technology (58/100) (2 stars) A&C - 12 C&C - 15 C&B - 18 C&L - 0 N&C - 13 Again, I did not find this article credible. The author was stated clearly and it had a link on it that you you to a bio page, but it was mostly blank. He is a freelance write that has only been writing a few years.There was a publish date and a revision date. The company has not been around long. The article only appears online. It is biased, but supports the statement the team is making. However the author does not give any examples, sources or citations. The article was easy to read but did not give an copyright information.

This is the least credible article for The Refutables Points be added to Prezi - The bio page for the author was blank. - There are no sources or links provided. - The site is a younger site. - Only a small portion of the entire article covered the negative effects of technology.

morgan - the effects internet reading skills (85/100) (3 stars) A&C - 18 C&C - 10 C&B - 19 C&L - 20 N&C - 18 This was a great article for team B to use in support of their statement. I found the article credible. The author is stated with a link to their Google Plus page. I could not find any history about the company. The article does not have any dates for when it was written or revised. The article can be searched for and found on the site easily. The content is concise and interesting. It is bias - but in a good way. They are trying to convince the reader that the inter is negatively impacting our young readers and they make very good points. There are several sources listed with links to related and additional articles. Pictures enhance the content and do not obstruct the flow of the copy. There is no clear copyright information for the article.
