webquest questions
1. The two best examples of the webquest are the Underground Railroad, and the Egyptian webquest.
The unraveling the underground railroad was well put together, and would make learning the infromation for the students fun, with the way it almost put you in the tasks that it asked you
The ancient egypt webquest was pact ful of facts, which made it easy to not have to stray from the page to look up information.
2. The two webquests that seemed to be the worst, was the Where is my hero?, and We all scream for ice cream. Both of these were chosen beause that lact any reason of why we need to learn this
3. The best in my book mean that the person put forth the effort to there max ability, and used common sense. The worst by my definition means that there was a total lack of motivation, and effort.

Importance of Blogging
1) i enjoy blogging for this course because it is quick, easy, and something new from my other classes.
2) Keeping a blog can make you a more effective teacher in that you can always go and look back at your past lessons and responses from your students
3) I will probably not continue after the class is over with, but i will continue to blog on a more personal level.
4) Collective Intelligence- is really the easiest thing to see when keeping up with a blog, because you can see everybody's thoughts, views, and opinions. If somebody posts about a touchy subject, whether it deals with school, or just life in general, you can compare everybody's views to really see how people feel about the subject.

Wikipedia question
1. wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative,mulitlingual encyclopedia, and is also non-profit
2. i would think that wiki is pretty reliable because who would really spend that much time putting false facts in the pages.
3. the creators put their trust in really anybody who wants to put the info out there, and trust that it is correct
4. because of reports of child pornography
5. i think that abuse or vandalism would look like the "real" facts about the subject on the page, that way people wouldnt really catch it at first.
6. that statistics show that people trust other peoples word, or that that the users do not know that anybody can apply information
7.wiki is so successful because it is free, easy to use, and can answer just about any question the user wants to know.
8. if the creators accept advertising then eventually wiki would charge the users to look up info.
9. wikiscanner looks up everything and anything to validate the information that is being posted.

Webstite Evaluation
The people who have run this site are Anima Benett and Vincent Guinan.
The information on the web is given clearly but in a way that makes the site seem factual.
There are links that give a clear biography of the people that run the site
There is also contact information if you would like to email the runners
It is a ".com" site so you automatically know that anybody could have started the site.
I actually looked further into the information that was given on the site to make sure i completly understood what the site runners where trying to get across
