ReplyDeleteHello Kameron, I agree with the acronym that your group came up with. It is very informative and can be used while searching for a reliable website. It is important to know that the website you are receiving your information from is trustworthy. Knowing the information your are using is coming from a credible source who knows what they are talking about. Also Knowing your references and where the author got his or her information from is always good to know, it lets you know if the website can be trusted. I agree with having accurate information from a website. This will help you receive great research. A viewers point of view should always be accounted for while looking for a website. It is important to use unbiased information and true statements/facts to persuade the viewer to use the website and trust the author.
