This is the fifth article in the Team A Prezi. The author is Elizabeth Nuttall, a teacher who writes as a pastime. The article originates from Knoji. The date of the article is not listed, but a comment was posted about the article in May 2011. Knoji is developed by zipfworks, a data platform that makes millions of products. It was founded by Michael Quoc, the former Director of Products at Yahoo!'s media Lab. He holds a Bachelor's in Business Administration. The article is about free Internet literacy resources. The article is accurate, but it does not list any examples of the sites the author is describing. It does not seem biased or persuasive. However, the article does not cite a single source. On the plus side, the article has links to different articles of the same nature. This gives the reader the opportunity to find out more information about the topic. Most of the links still work. The article does not have any navigation tools. It is short, but navigation tools would still be appreciated. Given that the article is already broken up into four parts, it would be fairly easy to add a navigation bar. The information here is so general that information from the article can be found very many places and in more detail. The article is copyrighted zipfworks 2014 This article adds little new information to Team A's presentation. Most of the information can be found at http://www.ldonline.org/article/35792#comprehension and in more detail. This is more of an article to get a general overview of a topic. The article is not thorough, does not cite any information and offers no navigation tools. The article did not harm the presentation in any way, but it did not particularly help it, either. 60/100

Yes this can be used as the least creditable. The article has only one link, that takes you to another article she wrote. Also, her BS is in Childhood and Youth Studies not in journalism so that could be a reason to knock down the credibility a bit. And I do agree with Gavin, its just a general overview of how one can use the internet for literacy skills.

Okay great. You can add this to the Prezi just like you did the other one. P.S. Kelvin is having the same problem you did this morning and I don't know what is going on.

This source is not accurate information to go by, it was last updated on Thursday, Aug. 23 2012

howard - too much screen time (84/100) A&C - 15 C&C - 14 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.

Nope, no bookmark.

This is the first article in Group A's Prezi. It has not been revised. It is about, appropriately, how technology impacts literacy. There is no apparent bias, although it does appear to attempt to convince the reader that technology is beneficial to literacy. It does briefly cite opposing arguments that are not refuted or discredited, giving the article some sense of impartiality. The authors cite multiple sources, and most of them are credible. The credibility of some is hard to determine because the links to some of the articles are broken. The links that do work lead to credible sources. Multiple print articles were also used. These all seem to be credible as well. The article also has multiple links to various webpages on the website. These appear to work as well. The article has a navigation bar at the top that makes it easy for users to navigate throughout the article. The information in the article is obviously found on other sites since the article cites these other sites. Main issues here are the date of publication and the broken links. The date is a huge problem, as Jennifer says. 65/100

Gavin, with all that you said I would score this one a little lower. maybe a fourteen. I have a huge issue with the age of this article. Think about how much has changed since. Maybe 13/20....

Gavin, the only thing I can agree with you on this article is the navigation bar for the various topics covered. The website is just overloaded with multiple sources and links that are very old. The site hasn't been updated since 2001, so most of the information in this article could be invalid to present day use. This could be used as one of their least creditable sources, in my opinion.
