- The search tool you used and why (e.g., "I used Ask.com because it organizes search results in a useful format"). I used Google scholar because it gave me a number of credible journals about net neutrality and has the full texts available for viewing.
- The exact search terms you used (e.g., "I searched three times, using these terms: “wiretap,” "pen trap", and "data mining") I searched four times on google scholar using these terms: "net neutrality", "debate over net neutrality" "FCC net neutrality" and "government view on net neutrality"
- I searched once on Google web using "net neutrality"
- The two best sites you found: give the full URLs and URLs to any specific pages that are especially helpful.
- 1. http://heinonline.org/HOL/Page?handle=hein.journals/jtelhtel3&div=8&g_sent=1&collection=journals
- 2.http://www.freepress.net/policy/internet/net_neutrality
- Your evaluation of the credibility and reliability of these sites:
- What individual or organization is responsible for the site and what is their purpose or mission? The site was started by Robert W. McChesney and Josh Silver. Their mission is to work to reform the media.
- How is the site funded? The site is funded by the free press action fund and they also take donations.
- How current is the information? The information is current and updated recently.
- What useful information about how your technology works is there on the site? Be sure to note any useful images and diagrams that would help explain and translate technical information for an audience of your peers. The site is well organized and have links to what the FCC thinks about the issue and the positives and negatives about net neutrality going away.
- Given your answers to the questions above, what kind of information might be missing or unreliable on the site? What other kinds of sites should you search for that might provide the missing information? The only thing that I would like to see on this page is what I can do to help if anything. If I feel strongly about net neutrality is there any way I can voice my opinion on it? I could search specifically for public impact on net neutrality to possibly find this information.

I see that you used google for your search engine. Google is a very reliable source and gives the student a plethora of information. I also see that you found information from the FCC. I believe using a government resource such as the FCC could be very useful in finding up to date information on our topic.
ReplyDeleteI think that Google scholar is one of the most vast sources of information and when used through the SCU database, it provides an endless number of options in which to research data. I think it was a great idea to include government opinions and information on the topic of net neutrality since the government does have nearly unlimited access to anyone's business.
