Evaluating Websites
In activity number one I found that the Aluminium Foil Deflector Beanie did meet the requirements of the quality information checklist. The website had an author, and it achieved its aims. The links worked and the information was current. The Google Gulp website did not meet the requirements of the quality information checklist. In activity number three I found that the second website would be the best for a research project, it met all the requirements. The one that I thought was the worst was Wiki Pedia because it met almost none of the requirements. I did learn new things about citing and researching on the internet the past two days.

Citation Critique
The citation website that I liked the best was Easybib. What I liked about it was that it was very easy to use. All of the options are right there and you don't have to click on a bunch of links to get to where you want. I also liked that it could site certian things for you. The one that I liked least was Citation Machine. I didn't like it becasue it was confusing and kind of disorganized. They could imrove thier site by sorting out the options they have available. They could also add small descriptions to the types of work they have.

In December 1913, Theodore Roosevelt went on a trip to Brazil right after his reelection. He was given the opportunity to explore an uncharted river named Rio of doubt. The trip they went on, they were expecting to be a lot easier than it was. They were guided by Candido Rondon who was one of Brazil’s best guides. Roosevelt caught a bad case of malaria. When they finished charting the river Roosevelt wrote a book called Through the Brazilian Wilderness. The River of Doubt was renamed Rio Roosevelt and a branch of the river was named Rio Kermit.

Avatar
An avatar is an image that represents a person on the internet. In personal life, avatars could be a representation of your self on a gaming site. In an educational career it could be used for directions on an assignment instead of the actual teacher talking. In business avatars could be used to present a new idea to a group of people. I have not used an avatar before this class. Out of these three sites i liked Voki the best. I liked Voki because you could make it say what you wanted in your own voice. I also liked it because you could do things with it like put it on your blog, with the clay yourself site you could not even change it after it was made. Another reason why I liked Voki better is because there were more options to make the avatar look like your self.
