** Reflection **

I know that my sources are valid because I know its not made up, and that it is from a person that has been studying what he or she are talking about. To make sure my sources are valid I follow CARRDS. Credibility is when there is an author, credentials, education, experience, first hand credibility, is published, or has a personal page either on a separate site or part of the site. Accuracy is when the site has facts, statistics, other information is verified through other sources, or information seems accurate, also if you see errors on the page. Reliability is when the site presents a particular view or bias. Relevance is when the site supports your thesis or helps answer your questions. Date is when the information in the work sited page has been created, revised, and the dates are meaningful. Scope is when the site has address my thesis or main idea to easily understanding way. I was also given websites from my teachers that were not useful for my project.

I did have some problems that I encounter during this project. Since we had wikispaces I could put my information on my project on my wikispace. Well since you have to have a username and password I forgot the password, so that was a problem. They did have a have a thing if you forgot your password that you could click that. I did and it would let me change my password when I would give them my email. I got to change my password and everything worked again. Another problem was that I was hacked on my wikispace. Mrs. Forrest would help us if we were. We would have to go to Manage Wiki then go to permission then click protected so that our project was safe. I felt relieved after that.

Technology is changing our society. People are using technology more than their brains. Alot of people are also spending more time on there to play games. It also helps students do homework or projects faster. The good thing is that some of the things on technology are helpful for us. Like Microsoft. It helps us with presentations and other things to talk about in the world. It helps find out what we need to know and what we don’t need to know.
