Information Literacy

Today we looked websites of information literacy where we all had to report reliability, validity, and trustworthiness of the site. There are 14 groups. Group 1 is a Wikipedia site that I feel people can edit, yeah, the information is there but I feel that the information is edited. Eventually, you can look at the revision history to see who edits them. Group 2 is an .com website where maybe information can be reliable but I would prefer looking at .org websites. Group 3 looks precise. Group 4 is also a good resource for looking at articles. Group 5 is also interesting because it shows news that are currently around. Group 6 does look like it would have some good information but I feel if I am writing a journal or scientific publication I feel I wouldn’t use this website. Group 7 and 8 looks more of joining a club but I feel I would just call the company instead. Group 9 is awesome and definitely a trustworthy website. Group 10 seems like a kid’s section. Group 11, 13, and 15 are all .org websites so I feel that it would be precise. Group 12 seems a little hard to believe because the edits. People can edit websites but when it comes to academics I feel .org websites are a good to reference to. On top of all my observations, Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for a term of no understanding. Other sites seem like a good stepping point because you will get information out of them whether it be accurate or not. Although, cited information is always accurate more.
