Checkpoint 6

When you read a book or a magazine, it usually shows you the publisher date. According to the Teach-ICT.com website usually the older the information is the less useful and up-to-date the information.If you want to to find how up-to-date is, you must see when it is updated. Not all old information are not up-to-date some are actually positively true and proven. In conclusion, some old information are not necessarily out of date but not all new information are up-to-date. Also if you don't know what up to date means it means reflecting on the latest information. Hope you find this post helpful.: )

Internet Search (Rules!!)

When searching, you should use search engines to find information you want:
-Yahoo!
-Bing
-Google
-etc.
Ways to search quickly and correctly:
-Use quotation marks to group words together
-Use minus (-) signs if you don't want to include words when searching
-Use plus(+) sign if you want toinclude words when searching
-Be specific! Don't make searches general
-Don't use common words or full sentences
Why is it important to search fast and correct?
In my opinion, I think it's important because then we can find the correct info and also waste no time. : )
