Checking you sources


 Here are some tips that I found could be helpful for you to check if a site is reliable or not =^..^=
  1. Find out who write the article
  2. When was the site produced?
  3. Look for the purpose of the site, is it clear or not
  4. Did the site achieve its aim?
  5. Reconsider if the information is biased or not
  6. Does the site tell you about choices open to you?

Flotilla protests

Have you had a look on various sources to find out what Marc (Marc3pax)does?\
- Before watching the video, to be honest I don't even know who this guy is. However, after watching the movie, I actually searched for him on youtube and found the video on Mr. Michael's blog and I read the comments below. Most of the comments say that most of the facts in the video are not true, in fact, non of them are true, except for Marc being gay.

How does this video relate to the flotilla movement?
- This video is related to flotilla movement because Marc shows us some information about Hammas and the relationship of Hammas and the leader of flotilla. He also mentioned the Free Gaza Movement and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Is the video objective (based on facts; unbiased)?
- I think the video is not objective because according to the comments below the video I found on youtube, non of the information is true, plus, Marc is trying to to make us think the flotilla movement is bad because they rejected him to join them.

Is there evidence supporting Marc3pax’s findings?
- There are SOME evidences like the photo or the article that he found. But he just show us part of the evidence he got so basically, he leave out some information. Other than that, most of the informations that he gave us are without proves and he didn't really tell us who he really is.

Word Cloud


I didn't see enough key words in here. Although there are a quite amount of key words. There are also some key words I believed I have in my project review but it didn't show here after I limited the word cloud down to 60 words. Next time, when I'm doing my project review, I would probably squeeze in some more key words in the correct places so when it comes to Word Cloud, the majority of writings would be key words.

Introduction

Hey people, my name is Emma. I'm currently an AIS grade 8 student. I have many hobbies such as doodling, play the piano and read comics. I'm not a very hard worker, I can be lazy at times but I put lots of effort when it comes to projects. I believe that when I try my best and work hard, I can accomplish anything.

My advice I want to give to students who have ICT this year is to always listen to the teacher's instruction. Always try your best, keep thing very simple, don't tangle it all up and to HAVE FUN :)!!

I always love to edit photos and making posters in my free time so I really want to become a Paint.NET expert. I also want to learn more about Audacity to be able to fix sounds, add sound effects because it would help me with my other classes. However, my big goal is to have fun and enjoy this class as well as to get a high score :).

Biotechnology

1) What is Biotechnology?
    - Biotechnology is technology and machine that allows us to interact with human, plant or animal body which envolves living organism. Usually use to helps us to replace any missing or useless part of our body.

2) Who could benefit from this technology and what are the advantages?
    - Disable and injured people could benefit from this technology because it helps those people to have a normal life with enough parts of body. The advantage is to help people to replace their missing parts with more functional machine part. Therefore, machine hand, leg or any parts have more functions than our normal part do, for example, machine hand can turn the wrist very easily without hurting.

3) Is it ethical to replace human body parts with biotechnology?
    - I think it is right to replace human body parts with biotechnology but only for some cases. For instance, if a person is missing a leg or a hand, that person can replace their hand with biotechnology to have more oppotunities to do normal daily jobs. For a healthy, normal person, replacing their body parts with biotechnology would be wrong because they have normal parts so why should they replace it, isn't it better with your natural part? In conclusion, I think it is not the wrong thing to replace human body parts with biotechnology but not everyone should use biotechnology.
