Websites?

Today in Human Geography, Mr. Schick told us what websites are reliable and how to tell whether or not one is. We learned that he loves Wikipedia because it is constantly being updated. Also that if you click on the number after a sentence then it will take you to the source and the source will take you directly to the article they got it from. CIA- the World Factbook is another GREAT and reliable source. Also during class today we learned that ".gov" websites are always reliable (but Doori said that her father told her some people have learned how to fake ".gov", but who would want to take the time to do that anyway?!) After we looked through his list of websites we added The World Factbook to our blog page so we have a shortcut to it always. Mr. Schick told us that The New York Times News Paper has been around since the 1800s! Also, that all opinion articles are not good for research papers. That is basically all we did in class, and then the bell rang.
