March 20, 2023 1 it seems there was more of trying to push an ideolgy than to prove if a source was reliable. the fact that the american college of pediatrics is a medical establishment with actual professionals who can and have conducted real and credible research, it means that they can be seen as a reliable source. regardless of their stance on political topics. this was a poor example of an unreliable source. try again and do better next time.

March 18, 2023 4 The text discusses the issue of bullying in schools, its negative effects on children, and the need for prevention. It argues that schools should focus on promoting general respectfulness for all students rather than singling out specific groups for special treatment.

March 13, 2023 4 I think it did a great job helping see understand how to make sure the sources I am using are reliable. It taught me what to look for when reding articles.
March 13, 2023 3 This tutorial covered bias somewhat; however, it also stated that the New York Times was "credible" which it has proven over the past few years that it is not. Not a good reference to teach students that they can be trusted because their journalists are fact checked. Even if they are fact checked, they still are permitted to publish whatever fits their narrative.

February 25, 2023 5 This tutorial was very effective for informing audiences of credible sources and the ones that are not reliable at all.
February 23, 2023 5 It was really helpful to do the lateral search and see that even when a site appears to be very credible, there can be bias in an organization.
