Angela will share this one with the class:
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/SearchEngines.html
This website is useful becuase it offers a table that compares three different popular search engines. The features offered by Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are listed in a convenient table form so that the advantages of each can be easily viewed. This helps people to decide which search engine is best for them to use in a specific situation, based on certain criteria.
Karen plans to share this one with the class:
http://what-is-what.com/what_is/wikipedia.html
This website describes what wikipedia is. It starts off by showing where the word "wikipedia" originated. What-is-what.com also goes into what the purpose of wikipedia is and how it exists. It discusses the pros and cons of wikipedia. I think that this website provides the reader with a good perspective of what goes on "behind the scenes" with wikipedia. I also think that it does a good job of posing both the good and bad of using wikipedia for a source of information.
Technology Standards: Social, Ethical, And Human Issues
Brian is going to share this website with the class:
http://www.ask.com/#subject:askpg:1
This is an interesting site because it gives students the ability to ask a question and receive several sites that can have the answer. It is highly accurate with the results and they can be really helpful.
