Click on any of the links, especially the source "hosted by Stormfront" link at the bottom and you realize that there's an obvious bias because it's hosted by a "white pride" group. I also send high school students to compare http://www.boring.ch/childsoldiers/ (promotes the use of child soldiers) with http://www.invisiblechildren.com/ to have students investigate source and bias when doing online research.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905507875764004472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996378730884778735.post-86588522022454428302016-03-03T18:09:03.165-08:002016-03-03T18:09:03.165-08:00I use your websites plus the velcro tree

I had a horrible experience where a student was presenting about "animal mashups," and was telling our freshman college biology class about how science had improved to allow an eagle head on a dog, and an elephant trunk on a monkey.<br /><br />I was horrified when I realized she was not joking. She thought these animals were real. Because she saw them on Facebook. ***smack my head***Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504218926502914119noreply@blogger.com
