Part II:

Describe in a one page document the purpose of the two sites you reviewed, the similarities and differences between the sites, whether or not you think these sites are simulations or virtual worlds, and two ways the sites can enhance education.

Part III:

Copy and paste the following url into your browser http://top5onlinecolleges.org/college-student-resources/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (by Leslie Bowman) and examine the resources on this page. Write a one page document that

1.) describes the resources on this page,

2.) lists the sites you think are the most useful, and

3.) identifies three sites you plan to use in the future.

Part IV: 

1.) Each Internet user is part of a “participatory culture” by default. This means each user actively takes part in the creation and consumption of content. Are you more of acreator or a consumer, or both? Why do you think this occurs? Provide three examples and an illustration of each.

2.) Crowdsourcing can create a more informed society by gathering information from a very large group of people through platforms like Wikipedia and other online repositories. How and when does crowdsourcing fail? Supply two examples of this failure and its implications.

3.) How can you determine whether or not information on websites or the internet is fake orcredible? Supply one example of each situation - fake and credible information and how you determined the information was "fake" or "real."
