week 3

Comments on the reading and class activity.
I think that we should be taught more advanced techniques of webpage building in the class. Anydumbo could figure out how to use an html editor. You should teach us flash for example.
The third reading focused on the importance of accessing authentic websites for research. I think this is very important. The case was about a child who went to a website that explainedthe death camps of the holoucast as medical camps, and thus thought that the holoucaust did not happen. I think it is important to have skills that can prevent these kinds of errors. We should also hone our kids and ourselves, into giving in to the currents of the times, i.e. many thingsthe media says, which are geared to serving the power elite. An example would be that of the US going into iraq, for the sake of bringing back democracy. This is clearly not true, as shown by Chomsky and many others. Media critique has to be taught, so that children can search for the true intent of people or powerstructures.
