The MAPping information activity was a great exercise. I learned how to filter through websites and use different search terms and quotation to minimize search results. I did a search on the California vector site. I notice when I used the different search engines the same warning sign came up. This site contains fictacus information. When I use the www.easywhois.com, I notice the site was not registered. This was a red flag that this may be a personal website because it contained the forward slash. In viewing the www.archive.org, I notice the website was linked to several sites within the last ten years.
Now that I have some tools and resource I am now more comfortable when looking up information on the website. As a future educator, I have to make sure students are equipped with these skills and tools to make sure they are retrieving valuable information or research from the web. Teachers may have to get parents involved when having students use technology and research outside of the classroom to ensure they are obtaining the right information.
The social bookmarking is a tool and resource I will definitely use. This is a great way to organize bookmarks and categories them. I am in the process of become an entrepreneur and starting my own business. I know personal development and networking are key parts of having your own business. I would use the bookmarking site to share video of some favorite speakers such as Jim Rohn and john Maxwell. I would also bookmarks some there quotes and books.
