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.
Wikipedia-Research Questions
I did not previously mention Religion or Politics censorship, or how to 'prevent attention' from occurring either.
Questions
1. How much is religion censored on television, radio, internet, etc?
2. Who first implemented all these censors and why?
3. What is deemed 'harmful or hate speech' on these media sources?

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!
