My favorite enrichment workshop was probably the media workshop where we learned about the credibility of the places we get our information from. The reason I found this to be the most interesting was because I found it interesting that sometimes you really can’t trust things that you see on the internet. Sites like BBC can be deceiving, if someone were to see something posted by them you have a tendency to believe it because in people’s eyes they are a reliable source. This workshop taught me how important it is to search up my information and verify it before posting it. Places like Facebook should not be trusted to get your information because chances are that someone just came up with misleading information in order to get peoples attention. This will help me out in the future because when I have to write a paper for college I will know that it is very important to verify my information and make sure that I don’t have any information that may be made up such as the flying penguins. They were very believable, but as believable as it is I know that today’s technology makes it so that one can really do many things to manipulate real things. I learned to take caution when searching up information.
