- Technology changes very rapidly, how current is the information you found?
- Who is posting the information? Are they an authority on the matter? How can you tell?
- What types of gatekeeping mechanisms are in place for the source you found? (i.e., is there an editor or are posts up/downvoted democratically?)
- Discuss the quality of the information. Is it well written, clear, and easy to follow?
- Finally, is this a resource you might use in the future, and if so, why?

I found this review while searching for a review of the game. This post came out last month on the 9th. The game they’re reviewing game out recently. The review is written by Steve Watts. His gamespot profile says he’s been reporting, writing, and reviewing in a professional space for 14 years. His profile also shows how many articles and other things he’s posted to show the viewer just how experienced this man is. There’s a tab specifically for reviews, and the reviews are separated from video games and other entertainment. The reviews are ranked from the most recent at the top to the latest at the bottom. At the end of the article You can also search for reviews, or have the website file it based of how good games are. So if a game got a 10 it’d be at the top where lower numbers would be at the bottom. the information is very easy to follow. Watts walks the reader though each type of mode like the story mode and different types of online. He talks about what he likes like the level design, the new game mode is enjoyable etc. and also what he dislikes like the lack of enemy variety, or lack of communication in more competitive modes. I’d definitely use this recourse in the future. It was very detailed and to the point, it would help me a lot in making a decision to buy any future games in the future. The article also had a video where the author read the review while gameplay played in the background to match what he was talking about.

I found this post while looking for bear facts, for a project in another class. This post was last updated on September 23,2022 but was first published May 4, 1999. They’re giving information about bears, simple facts, their relationship to humans, natural history etc. There are multiple people working on this page the one listed though is Howard James Stains. When you click on his name it tells the reader he’s a professor in Zoology, tells you specially what school he teaches in and what area of study. When you click the view all button next to his name you can see the page edit history and all the contributors. There doesn’t seem to be any upvote or downvote system I can find only a feedback section. The information is easy to follow, it starts by telling you the eight different species of bears there are, and then tells you some common facts, like how bears are surprisingly fast but their sense of sight and hearing aren’t developed all that well. It talks about bears are easy to train if taken in young and have been used in circus acts. It talks about thier bodys and conservatoin status, a lot of interesting things. I think it can be a little hard to follow just because of how dense the information is and you’re getting a lot of it at once. I’d use this website in the future, I’ve actually used it before on projects. It’s not just about animals they have history facts, biography things etc. It’s a very useful website, kind of like wikipedia if it didn’t let just anyone put information on a page.
I found this when my friend and I were looking at building a PC for myself at home. I ended up getting a prebuilt one but this is the video we watched. It was released on March 13th of this year. It’s about how to change a processer on a mother board. In the about page of the video it says the man who runs this account has been teaching computing and future studies at the University of Nottingham for 25 years, and is also the author of 13 computer related books. The editing has to be made in video production, to re edit a video you have to take it down and re-upload it. There are likes and dislikes for the video and also a comment section where watchers can comment about the video. I think the information is easy to follow, he first talks about how you first need to check the compatibility of your motherboard to the new processor you want to get. Then he explains the difference between cores, the difference between ryzen and intel cores, and how to tell if they need a graphics card. He then goes into detail about how to replace the core with the new one and then he shows the tests he’s running to make sure everything’s alright. I’d watch him again, he was to the point and also included things about the motherboard and cores that I didn’t know about before.
