I feel a little frazzled about the web quest. It seems like a huge task that I hope my group can tackle. We designated tasks but it just seems like something is missing. I suppose we we learn how to out it all together tomorrow in class. It just seems strange to me that anyone, anywhere can out anything they want online. I remember when teachers used to warn us about making sure our online sources were credible. Being as naive as I once was I just couldn't understand that. Wasn't there some sort of filtering process that allows people to publish only the good stuff online? And don't you have to pay for web space? At least, thats what I used to think.
Well, as myspace, facebook, and blogger popped up I realized that cyberspace does not have a limited capacity it seems, and any Tom, Dick or Harry can post and publish anything they want and call it credible.
All I can say is, cyber-spacers beware, because cohort 10-2b is about to make its way to the web!
On an unrelated side note, the number rating system (1-5) has become some what of a favorite line of the class, a funny accusation if you will. We are constantly warning each other to stop being such a "5". Not a lot of "1"s get tossed about, I guess this seems appropriate as Axel Ramirez refers to us as "over-achieving freaks".
