Task 2
Website Evaluation
4/11/14



EVALUATING INFORMATION ON WEB SITES USING                    CAPOW FORMULA.
·         Currency: Direct students to check for the date the Web site may have been last updated (often at the bottom of the Web page). Last revision date more than three years ago? Check another resource.
·         Authorship: Students should ask the following questions about the Web site: Who wrote the Web page or Web site? What makes that individual or organization qualified to write it? Who sponsors the Web page’s information?
·         Purpose: This is tricky for most students. Is the Web site informational, entertaining, factual, and does it promote a product or service? Who is the intended audience? Does the information seem credible? If so, can you check the information against another resource (i.e. book, journal article, newspaper, etc.) for credibility?
·         Objectivity: Students should critically evaluate whether or not the information on the Web site is biased or factual. Are opinions balanced or does the author have an agenda? How do you tell? Check the information against another credible source (i.e. book, journal article, newspaper, etc.).
·         Writing Style: Students should check to verify if the Web site contains a bibliography of references or a comprehensive list to other sources supporting its theme, topic, or agenda. If some of those other sources are Web sites, do the links work? If facts or statistics are noted, ask students to check the validity of those facts or statistics against another credible source.










CENTER OF JUCTICE
“Life is not about can and cannot, it’s about what you are willing to do”
This site is expanciated into 3 parts
-WHAT WE DO
-HOW WE DO IT
-WHO WE ARE

1)   WHAT WE DO.
               Based on innovation better courts can help in our extensive knowledge of the field. I believe our courts can not only process cases more quickly and differently, but also help reduce reoffending; reduce cost and better protect our communities.
-The court should treat all parties with fairness both victims and defendants.
-It should focus on the needs and backgrounds of the people who come to meet them.
-They should act with authority and swiftness.

Youth Diversion.
             We should try and keep youth people out of the court whenever possible because it has been indicated that when young people are formally involved in the justice system early, it can actually increase their offending and lengthen their criminal careers.



Community Justice.
            Innovation has helped the court in so many ways especially making it possible for offenders to be supervised, rehabilitated and reintegrated into their communities. Offenders live and are supervised our communities through and detective device in a form of a wristwatch or leg band (Innovation).

2) HOW WE DO IT.
            Innovation helps the court especially in research areas to be able to access and store information’s centuries ago. Make it easier to find them when needed at any particular time.
They also help the court in constructing better secured court houses against attack because a lot of violence happens in the court house.

3) WHO WE ARE.
            Our organisation are the ones who bring up the ideas, innovation and the resources to make the court a better for the people.  Without us the court won’t be working effectively.












Department for Business Innovation site.
              This site is a governmental site which is a based on business department innovation and skills.
              The government use this department for economic growth. The department invest in skills and education to promote trade, boost innovation and help people to start and grow a business.
This Department have 28 polices.
-Improving the quality of further education and skills training
  Making free colleges from central government control
  Improving better career advice.
-Making companies more accountable to shareholders and the public.
-Supporting economic growth through local enterprise partnerships and enterprise zones.
-Preventing and reducing anticompetitive activities.
-Producing better information and protection for consumers.
-Engaging the public in science and engineering.
-Creating strong and safer banks.
-Making the labour market more flexible, efficient and fair.
-Making it easier to trade.







           The site is an innovation charity with a mission to help people and organisation bring great ideas to life.
            Everyone should have equal access to all of life’s opportunities. However this statement does not ring true for the 12.2million people living in UK who are disabled or have a limiting long term illness.
            Many disabled people rely on assisted living technologies to support them in their everyday life’s. But there is a strong view that the development and manufacture of aids, adaptations and products has kept pace with the use of new technologies, materials, design and manufacturing processes seen in other areas,( sport related products for disabled people being the notable exception).
            I think this is a great initiative and hope disable people will communicate what would most help them and what does  more innovation in this area is need as is good design so technology and aids are things of beauty. The people would be very interested in your result and in particular hearing of technology which helps the independent and skills of people with hearing disabilities.
