ASSIGNMENTS

For the past hour, I had been surfing the internet intensively in search of a good educational website with sound creditability. Considering all the restrictions placed upon us, it's really a tall order to meet.

1) All of us are assigned a specific topic. This translates to a loss of freedom. (I'm given the topic on "Reproduction").
2) We are given a checklist of 25 items! (e.g. level of information, sufficiency of information, reliability of website, diagrams and charts, bibliography and citations, indications of last revised date, indications of whether the material is being kept current, verification of legitimacy, credentials of author(s), content impartiality, free of advertisement, ease of accessibility, quizzes, design layout etc)
3) We're NOT allowed to use the websites which were given by the previous 2 cohorts before us.



So many restrictions, how to find, you tell me? Already, meeting most of the 25 item requirements would be quite a headache. Throw in a specific, assigned topic and the limitation of websites to use, the end result? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!

Okay okay, to be fair, I have to admit this is a good exercise. It teaches us to discriminate information and to evaluate the reliability of internet resources - least we misguide the innocent young.



While searching for a good website, I typed in "human reproduction" in Yahoo! search. Momentarily, I mused would the search engine results reflect pornography site links.



Anyway, I was evaluating one of the websites when I noticed something interesting.




Didn't know all of us used to look like ikan bilis! Oh my goodness...



P.S. Nah, no pornographic link came up!
