This assignment did teach me a lot actually! I was pretty skeptical going into it! I had not idea it could be so simple to basically create a simple website page! Although I could not get it posted...Seeing and going through the steps of changing titles and creating my own lists on the mock site was great! It was simple to do, just replace words with your own and watch the magic when you reload the page! This class overall has taught me a TON. So many new techniques to searching the World Web and the Deep Web! All these tools I can now take with me and allow them to help me in all my future classes here at Clark and any other school I attent! Thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the quarter! Truly a GREAT class to take! (:

I used MonsterCrawl while searching for credible cites.
1) .GOV
I typed in "censor* media site:.gov" the first article that I found was, "FCC and Freedom of Speech."
ASPECT- Authority: The FCC wrote and published this article. Purpose: It wants the public to know what and how much the broadcasters can and cannot say. Also to let the public know what the FCC's job is and how much they can regulate.
2) .COM
I typed "censor* media site:.com" and the first article that I could find was, "Media Censorship Pros and Cons." ASPECT-Evenness: This article states both sides of the argument, positives and negatives of censorship. Timeliness: It was published on September 23, 2011, so it is still a very relevant source of information.
3) .EDU
I typed "censor* media site:.edu" and the first article I came up with was, " ALAN v21n2-The Censorship Connection-Censorship Matters." ASPECT- Authority: The woman who wrote the article is a professor at Kent State University in Ohio and also the editors of the website are from LSU and Vanderbilt. Coverage: It talks about censorship in not only media but in texts books also. It covers an away of information about censorship.
4) .ORG
I typed "censor* media site:.org" and the first article I came up with was, "Censoring the Conservative Media."ASPECT- Authority: It was written by Cliff Kincaid who upon looking into him further was awarded several journalism awards and attended a University and obtains a Master Degree. Evenness: It talked all about the censorship in various sources of media and outstanding issues in our country-about how it effects such issues like Gay Rights, AIDS, Televised News.
Personally I would prefer to find articles with the .gov or .org ending. I feel as though those with such endings are more credible and tend to have more backings than those just ending in .com. I found this journal to be very informative, I did not realize I could sort my search results by the .com, .gov, .edu, etc. It was actually very helpful to see the differences it makes just by searching specific endings.

SPEZIFY:This was a very unique tool! It opens the searched word(s) it opens it in like word bubble style, showing all kinds of different ways. It links you up to social media sites with the verbiage you searched and also general websites that talk about your searched items. It handled Boolean operators fairly well. Although I liked its style I do not think I would use it for a paper/project. It just seemed to informal and not enough scholarly website came up from what I could tell.
MONSTER CRAWLER: Since this is powered by Google, Yahoo and Bing it was pretty set up as such. It lists the websites that match your terms that you searched. This site handled Boolean VERY well! I loved this site and would consider using it again since it is backed by three other good search engines.
VIRTUAL REFERENCE SHELF: I liked that this gave options as to what you wanted to search, such as books or web articles. It was easy to use and very accessible for the new users. Boolean did not seem to work as well for me on this site as others I have used, but it did pick up on some of it. I think I would probably use this site more so for when I am searching for books pertaining to a specific subject.
I liked this weeks assignment! This class is teaching me so much it is way more than I ever thought! I liked being able to go through different websites and seeing how each one is different. I now have more sites to use when doing research for different classes and doing different things. Thank you for introducing all of this to myself and I am sure countless other students who appreciate it!

1) This article seems to be appealing because it will cover what people can and cannot say in social media! It also appears as thought they will discuss what people have said on social media forums that have offended people and go into further detail about the situation(s).
"Who Can Say What."(cover story) By: Poniewozik, James; Caplan, Jeremy; Lofaro, Lina; Sachs, Andrea; Rubiner, Betsy. Time, 4/23/2007, Vol. 169 Issue 17, p32-38, 6p, 3 Color Photographs
2) The author is a searchable and seems credible man. The Article is still very revenant only being two years old. The source also appears to be a good one too!
"Culture, Rap Music, "Bitch," and the Development of the Censorship Frame." By: Schneider, Chistopher J. Deviance/American Behavioral Scientist, 1/2011, Vol. 55 Issue 1, p36-56, 21p.
3)I like that this focuses on the Web itself and how it deflects what Congress wants to do with the internet. I love that it actually has quotes from those in power and states why they feel they way they do. It connects to the audience and makes you want to continue to read further and further.
"Web Rises Up to Deflect Bills Seen as Threat." By: Jonathan Weisman. New York Times(Late Editions(East Coast)). New York, NY. 1/19/2012 ph A.1.
This was a good assignment! I loved looking at all the different sources and being able to know how to search effectively! That astrid* tool was incredibly helpful! I never knew you could do that! It opens so many more doors and endless possibilities! Also replacing filler words with 'and' that is insane how much of a difference that makes too! What I changed was putting censor* instead of censorship, placing 'and' between censorship and media and united stated, these short quick fixes brought up a TON more articles for me. This was all very helpful!

Citation: Merino, Noel; Censorship; Detroit; 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Circulating or E-book?: Circulating
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C394 2010
Trustworthy?: Age-it is only two years old so the information is still revenant. The author has a Ph.D, so she also is a very credible source in herself. The publisher is also a reliable source.
Summit Catalog
Search: Censorship
Citation: Barbour, Scott; Censorship: Opposing Viewpoints: Detroit, 2010
Subject Heading: Censorship
Location and Call Number: Cannell Second Floor, Z657 .C393 2010
Trustworthy?: The author has a substantial amount of sites commenting on his good work and that he is a valid source for information. Also the book is less than the five year mark so its contents should still be reliable and trustworthy.
Differ from the Cannell search?: I like that this search actually showed the cover of the books we were looking up, it makes them more real and valid than just words on a website. The Summit search was nice that it gave a list of options where your book could be found and it also let you know if it was even available currently or not.
Google Books
Search: Censorship
Citation: Jennings, Brian and Hannity, Sean; Censorship: A Threat to Silence Talk Radio; New York; 2009
Trustworthy?: The book is only a few years old, again making its contents valid still. The authors are both credible and Jennings is actually 'signed' to "Simon & Schuster" publishing and Hannity being apart of the political scene so he is constantly up-to-date with the current news.
Summary
They are all very useful! I am glad that I now have ann four of these under my belt and I am able to navigate through them with ease! They will be a tremendous help for all the papers I am sure to have come my way. They are all pretty common though, each giving the essentials of the book and its authors. They all have the links to the books they list and ensure you a way to find them either to rent or purchase. Goggle Books is a way to buy the books where the others are more to read online or to lead to you a library where you can rent them. I found the Cannell Library and Summit Catalog the best for me personally. They are both within our school and they tell you exactly where to find it in our library, which for me is probably the most convenient to use. If they changed tomorrow I would be able to find my way through them still, it just may take a few moments longer to ensure I am doing the right things. They all had a very fair amount of search items, you can break down your terms quite a bit and they all help you narrow in on what it is you are looking for exactly.

Journal Four-Censorship
Questions
1. How much is religion censored on television, radio, internet, etc?
I would probably search the encyclopedia for this, looking up each source of media and how much they get censored. I could also look at specific sources, such as LA Times/ABC/PBR etc for what their guidelines are.
They are all censored differently according to the area to which you are in actually. Although there are many things you cannot say or do on most every media source the actual facts come down to what areas you live in. The Federal Communications Commission, Communications Decency Act and Children's Protection Act are just a few of the things put into motion in order to keep censorship in the media.
2. Who first implemented all these censors and why?
Again I could use encyclopedias and also government documents found primarily on the internet.
It appears as though it goes as far back as 1978 with the Sedition Acts; which had been placed to limit the printing of slavery and its abolishment.
3. What is deemed 'harmful or hate speech' on these media sources?
Again encyclopedia! This seems like a daunting thing for me to be using a whole lot! They do hold a lot of information, but I could also again use government documents found online to see what they state to be 'harmful and hate speech.'
Things deemed as such are usually words or phrases that force others down and make them feel inferior.

Summary: Research
This unit did teach me a bunch! I like the one IRIS module about how to do effective research on things the best. I love that it broke it all down for us, how to find cites, take notes, organize it all, etc. It was by far the most helpful thing yet! As far as Wikipedia goes, I cannot believe how EASY it is for people to change or alter the information in the cite! I would have thought there to be more parameters or credibility to the cite even though it is open to the public. I also liked the information on Subject Encyclopedias, it really broke down how encyclopedias work and the most efficient way to use them. I personally did not know that they could be broken down by not only letters but my subjects also! That will most definitely help me on future research papers.

I did not previously mention Religion or Politics censorship, or how to 'prevent attention' from occurring either.

Unit 2: Plagiarism
1. This one is cited somewhat, stating that the dinosaur they saw was at the Field Museum. I think maybe it could have been more specific though.
2. This clearly needs a citing! It is all from the Bill of Rights and there is no establishing that this is from there, although it is common knowledge I think it should still be cited.
3. This needs to be cited, where they got their stats from.
4. They did paraphrase so yes it should also be cited.
5. Perfect! It was all cited properly.
6. They did quote it properly but they failed to cite it, even though it was stated in the beginning it still needs a (para.#).
7. No citing needed because it is a friends idea, not a copyrighted item.
8. This is grounds for common knowledge and doe not need citing.
*In response to http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/04/
I have learned so much from this assignment! I had no idea the proper way(s) to cite things and how much is actually deemed plagiarism. I found this very helpful, especially that it showed us how to cite MLA and APA styles, of which I never knew the proper way and would always use the website EasyBib. I know now the little things count and make a difference, like whether it is a period or a comma after certain things, and how to organize all the information that the Bibliography needs. I have also learned that it is better to 'overcite' than to 'undercite' your work, better to have too many things stating where the information is from than to miss out and forget to cite someone's work. I also discovered that when paraphrasing how that citation worked, I was never very clear on how to do so. This was probably the most I have actually learned about plagiarism and I am twenty-one years old! Great lesson and I completely agree that this should be apart of every online/computers education course!

First Post!
Welcome to my Blog! This is being created for a College course I am currently enrolled in! I am very eager to see how this all works together, and how easy it is to actually use. I have already learned a ton just from creating this blog! I had no idea with was so easy(and free) to set this whole thing up. I love that it is a free space for others view my work/ideas. I think that using a digital workspace is much more effective than using an analogue one. It helps the students actually connect with one another and be able to interact in a more 21st century kind of way. Also I am a big fan of going GREEN, save the paper whenever possible! I am also on a few other online communities; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. I love being abel to connect with all my friends and relatives on a fast easy thing like the internet. It allows us to all keep in touch without having to pick up and call everyday. I look forward to learning more about the blog society and hope to keep this going further than just the course I am taking!
