Session 9

9.2 I did the slide show, waited for it to save so that i could get the code and I lost it.

9.3
 * What characteristics make these websites so convincing?
 * What evidence is available to prove that these websites are hoax sites?
 * What guidance can we give our students to help them avoid websites that contain inaccurate information?

1. The websites look professional, and even really convincing with the pictures, and the ultra-sound. The topic of the Pregnant Man is definitly fake, and the Tree Octopus, because Octupus have to have water, and men cazn't get pregnant. they do not have the right equipment to do so.

2. The images, clearly one picture of the "Tree Octopus" is a giant teddy Octopus, and it's clear as day. Also with the misleading events on the website that just don't make sense.

3. Just because you hear something doesn't mean it's true. In other words anyone can post anything online, but it doesn't mean that it's true. I think that's a huge problem nowadays because it's online or because someone heard it, they believe it. If they see it online they deeply honestly believe it which is sad, because some of it is really fake, and it's kind of sad that people just hear something/ see it and they believe it.
