 “Gold medals don’t make champions… the hard work does.” –ANON

Reflection: This to me means that a reward, certificate, medal, etc. doesn't make the winner but the effort the handwork that the person put into it. So many people don’t realize this because they thing that in order to be a winner they have to get some kind of reward out of it but in reality the reward is that you tried every way possible to get what you want, or where you are at. It’s not always about the outcome but what you did to get there!!

Read between the lines

• Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:
•  Look for the facts you know or you can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.
•  Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
•  Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.
•  Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

 “The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for the right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”-Margaret chase smith

Reflection: This to me is kind of like saying don’t be a follower but be a leader. This is because everything you see that everyone else does, doesn't mean it right. And it only takes one person to make a change and stand up for themselves and say that something is wrong and take another path.

Dot-What?

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

·      Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·      Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of the argument.

·      Dot-Gov. indicates a government website at the federal, state, or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·      Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·      Dot-edu. Usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student’s course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."-Liane Cordes

Reflection: This to me means that when one puts everything they have to try to reach their goal one will make it. Not because of how smart we are, or how stupid, or strong, or weak. The point is as long as we pass all the obstacles we will get there because you put your mind and heart into it.

Research with attitude

• Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
• -        Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
• -        What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?
• -        Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
• -        What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives-like selling products or winning votes- that could result in biased or incomplete information.
• -        Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?
• -        Where did the author get this information?

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in biased way – they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which you is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.
