It should be easy to find who is in charge of posting on the website. "The source of a
website’s funding should be clearly stated or readily apparent." (Unit 8 iBook Section 1) Who pays for the website? The source of the website's funding must be easy to locate on the page. What is the website's purpose? "The person or organization that runs a website and the site's funding sources determine the site's purpose." (Unit 8 iBook Section 1) What is the original source of the website’s information? Lots of medical websites post information from other websites or sources. How does the website document the evidence supporting its information? "Website should identify the medical and scientific evidence that supports the material presented on the site." (Unit 8 iBook Section 1)

The website that we went to said that it was either strep or a really bad viral infection. We decided to go see a doctor to see which one it was and it ended up being a bad viral infection.]]> 2017-06-14 08:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/haley_caudill/pwe77vizookj/wish/176366570
