    What’s New

    Online Search Activity


    Do an online search to answer the given question using any
    search engine. Provide the required data below. Write your answers
    on a separate sheet of paper.

    Question: When do you say that an information contained in web


    pages is credible or not?
    Search engine used: Microsoft Bing

    Keywords: Web, Information, Credible

    Number of Search Results: 9,580,000 Results

    Sites used to answer question:

    1. When do you say that the information contained in web pages credible or
    not? - Quora
    2. Is My Source Credible? - UMGC Library
    3. Know if a News Website or Story is Trustworthy, or if It’s Fake News
    (techboomers.com)
    Answer to the question:
    Finding Credible Information on different web pages when researching
    a topic or looking for reliable sources is one of the struggles of internet users.
    It is hard for us to evaluate which sites are publishing fake or credible
    information. One sign of a trustworthy website is information on the internet
    with a specified blogger. The author's willingness to stand by the evidence
    delivered is a positive sign that the information is trustworthy. Second, the
    date of any research information is important. The website's use of a date
    helps users to determine if the content is current enough for their needs. And
    last, the writing style of the author should be carefully evaluated. Poor
    spelling and grammar are warning signs that the web isn't trustworthy.
    Credible websites pay particular attention to the writing style in order to make
    the facts conveyed understandably.

    What’s More
    Create a flowchart on how to evaluate a website. Below is the sample of a flowchart.
    Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
    What I Have Learned

    Explain each question in not less than three sentences. Provide a


    separate sheet of paper for your answers. The following is the rubric
    in rating your answer.

    1). What is the significance of using keywords when searching for


    information on the web?

     Keywords are essential words related to a specific topic that


    helps you find good information. It is important because it
    supports search engines and then defies the topics covered
    in your content. Algorithms provide a complex framework for
    evaluating the keywords that users use in their searches as
    well as the phrases that are used in a piece of content. This
    allows them to align the user with the content that will better
    meet their needs. It can be also used successfully in
    conjunction with the search engines to provide you with a
    free source of targeted traffic to a specific website.

    2). How do the tips in conducting online research help you find the
    correct query results?
     The tips in conducting online research help me in a way, that
    improves my searching style. Before, I simply type the
    questions in the search engine, but now I'll be using AND and
    + sign. I also use other tips in conducting online research like
    identifying synonyms of the keywords, reviewing the first
    pages returned, use wildcards for a broader search, using
    quotation marks to find phrases or names, and using several
    search engines that help me find the correct query results.

    3). What is the role of the website's domain in evaluating website


    credibility?

     The domain of a website provides valuable information about


    its credibility. Domain names follow patterns developed by
    domain name registries, and you can use those patterns to
    deduce information about a website's intent and location.
    Websites are grouped by their domain suffix according to the
    type of information they provide. The domain suffix can
    provide you with a hint about who has created the site or what
    their intent is. Some of the examples of domain suffixes are
    .com (Commercial site), .edu (Educational
    institution), .gov (Government), .org (Traditionally a non-profit
    organization), .mil (Military), and .net (Network).
    What I Can Do
    Explain thoroughly why the website below is not credible as a
    source of your data for your research. Write your answer on a
    separate sheet of paper.

    Due to a variety of factors, I consider the website mentioned


    above to be untrustworthy. At first sight, I considered the website's
    layout to be unappealing and poorly formatted, leading me to doubt
    it. Second, I found the article a little bit biased. Reporters write a lot
    about politics, and there are plenty of political websites out there.
    But many of them are run by groups that have a bias in favor of one
    political party or philosophy. A conservative website isn't likely to
    report objectively on a liberal politician, and vice versa. I also
    conclude that article is classified as fake news. The story said in
    the article is revised and changes some parts comparing to what
    really Duterte said. I also found out that the website mention above
    has a bad reputation and consider a "Rodrigo Duterte Supporters"
    website that spewed out lies on social media, aiming to sway public
    opinion using propaganda. That's why we need to carefully
    evaluate the things that we see on the internet. Social media and
    the internet produce a lot of information that sometimes it is hard to
    evaluate what is real and fake.

    Assessment
