Website Validation

All About Explorers is a site created by teachers to develop a series of lessons for elementary students. It is a very reliable site, the teachers have briefly noted: "There are many less benign examples of site names that do not relate to the topic they appear to be about. While we could use many of the existing sites that make this point for us, we did not want to run the risk of finding out in a year or two that the site had new, undesirable content. The only way we could guarantee this would be to create our own site in which we could control the content ourselves. The result is what you are exploring right now."

They also explain the risks of browsing online and finding useless websites. Example, while searching for Christopher Columbus, they found that it takes you to Columbus, OH, Chamber of Commerce.

They created a web quest and added several links to take children to very knowledgeable sites.
They teachers of this website have gave clear instructions and throughout the entire page have made clear how to determine fact or fiction. i think that this site is a definite authentic, creditable, and reliable source.

Survey

Delicious!

I bookmarked a site called Learning 2.0 (the 23 things). This site explains 23 simple steps in learning and teaching with Web 2.0. It helps learning through new technology and references good resourses and sites.
It is a similar walk through of what I have learned in EDUC-2201 Instrunctional Technology, which has been very helpful so far. I believe by following these steps one could become more familiar of the internet, social networking, blogging, and web 2.0.
