Fakeout! Test and Questions

 When taking the Fakeout test, I was extremely surprised to see I got only a 4 out of 10 correct on what was fake and what was real. I think it was hard because there were stories that seemed like it could be possible based on what is happening in todays world and crazy things happening. But I was watching out for the sources, like .com or .org or .net That did help somewhat on what was true and what wasn't, as well as the site.

The problem with checklist approaches (notion.so) 

I looked at the first lesson and found that there was a checklist approach that was problematic. I actually found this extremely helpful and useful with new information I have known my whole life. Looking at CRAAP on the problem checklist it is reminding me of the checklist of how to identify a reliable source. When looking at how it could work for me I would say that yes it could work for me because of me understanding what they are talking about and referring to. But with that being said I think that for students this type of checklist would be more directed to high school students with the types of words and phrasing relating to the checklist. 

I do think that this type of post and checklist would be a good thing to use in the class to show how there are "myth-conceptions" in the website world of what is good and what is not. For instance I am 20 years old and I had always been taught in high school that .net, or .org was more reliable than .com. But based on this checklist and post that is not the case; and I think showing this to the classroom would definitely change peoples views on how the view the website world. This will change how I show students how to research on the web as not everything is what they say "is better" or "worse" of a site; like just because there is ads doesn't mean its less reliable. Looking for things like the date of publication, or edit is more important than ads and .org's.
