After completing the first activity I came to the conclusion that the first website Google Gulp Drink has no true information. There is no author or any way to contact any type of organization to get information about the drink. There is also no way to buy a bottle of this drink. The second webpage Alumni Foil Deflector Beanie I think contains some true information. There is an author and an email address that you can contact. It also shows when it was last updated and gives you some background information, a FAQ and contains a blog. Of the two websites I would use the second one over the first.
If I had to write a report about Mankato, Minnesota of the three websites I would use the second one. It was the official website of the city. It was also the best organized and the easiest to navigate around and find things. The webpage has several different tabs that allow you to find out the history of the town, activities and services that you can do while there, the government and rules of the town and even a help center if you still have questions. They offer contact information to many different places and services in the town and even provide you with a map. I feel as though that this website would be able to provide me with the most information.
The discussions in class over the past two days have helped me a lot. Before I did not know what the different domain names meant, such as .edu was only used for college webpage’s. I also have a better of what a reliable page should contain versus one that might not be accurate. Before this class I did not know what the Boolean operators were either but know that I do I plan on using them to narrow my searches when looking for specific information. I am enjoying all of the new helpful internet tips that I am learning.
