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.

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.
