Week 5 - Hoax or Real

This week, we focused on internet literacy.  This means that we learned how to tell if a website is real, or if it is a hoax.  There were a couple of ways to tell: looking at the source of the website, looking at what kind of website it is (.com, .org, .net, etc.), looking at the content of the website, looking at what the resources are, among other aspects.

Overall, it was very straightforward and seemed like there are some obvious methods of telling if the website is fake.  I know that I will need to make sure I provide students with reliable resources and I need to educate them on whether or not they can trust a certain website.
