Mr. Gorman’s blog is 21st Century Educational Technology and Learning. His current blog is a seven step guide to website evaluation for students. I pick up at step 6 which discusses the importance the information that you may choose to include in a web page. Firstly, it is vital to to validate your facts from at least two quality sources to ensure the validity of your information. secondly, Gorman asks us to ensure that our grammar and punctuation is correct. Lastly, read what you write, ensure that the information flows in a fluid manner and it clear and precise in relation to the topic you are writing about.
 C4T Assignment 2:
      In this weeks reading, Mr Gorman’s blog series discusses links. I learned about incoming, outgoing, and broken links. First the incoming links, these are links that take the reader to a particular page to reinforce data and supply direct evidence to the validity of the opinion stated by the author. What are outgoing links then? These links are to pages the author would like us to visit in order to read and research the subject in more depth. These links are vital to good researchers and provide the reader with numerous sources to learn from. Broken links are those links that no longer work. They may take you to the wrong place or do nothing at all. Its important to constantly test your links is web based learning to ensure each student gets the complete educational library that you choose to provide to them.
