So a couple weeks ago we went to this classroom for one of our workshops. I’ll be honest, I didn’t pay attention in the beginning and didn’t really want to be there. However, I have to say that it actually wasn’t that bad. I learned a lot, definitley more than I expected. When I search up for things online I usually just click on the top few results, and just take the information I need from there. I always thought the order that articles appear in when you search something on facebook is based on importance or accuracy that someone decided on. I always believed that the top results were accurate and that I could just believe what I read from there and use those articles as my sources. I also never realized that videos that seem so real can actually be made-up, just like that video we saw about that woman who can’t move normally. They kept on saying that doctors said that she’ll never walk and all that, but they never actually said the names of any doctors, or brought in any doctors faces. I’m glad that I did end up paying attention to this presentation because I now know not to trust everything I see online, and I now know how to decide whether or not a source is trustworthy and probably accurate.
