Chris Nolan

Chris Nolan's presentation was very interesting. I learned a lot about Google and why they are so popular. I also learned about websites and how to judge if they are good or not. I was very surprised at the Martin Luther King Jr. website. A seemingly normal website turned out to be something very cruel. It was a site full of hate and derogatory comments that anyone, including children, could stumble upon. It goes to show that you cant trust everything that is online. A useful tip I learned is to look for sources and quality of sources to determine whether a website is academic and appropriate for class. Another useful tip is to use site: to narrow a web search to a certain domain such as .com or .edu.
