	CHOOSE ONE ANSWER.
	www.freetheplanet.org The electric company that sets the rates for your electricity The Greenworks Gazette A coal company in your state The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov)

3. The electronic company that sets the rates would absolutely gave biased information because because they would tell you anything to make them look good so you don't want to ask them about anything relating them or there competitors becaie

7.	Contemporary and up-to-date refer to:

7. Contemporary and up-to-date refer to currency not accuracy because when something is up-to-date it is current and it doesn't always have to be accurate.

9.	When you are assessing a website's objectivity, which of the following would you not examine?
	CHOOSE ONE ANSWER.
	The intended audience of the website Advertising on the website The currency of hyperlinks on the website The website's sponsoring company or organization Language and images that paint a one-sided picture

9. When assessing a websites objectivity, you would not examine the currency of hyperlinks because they can still have good information. Just because it's a hyperlink doesn't mean that is it a bad website that you need to be redirected to get credible information. They could be other websites that go more in depth on a topic that the first website was just touching on. 

Books and Reading: Topic 8

To make my shelf I used LibraryThing

There was absolutely nothing hard about using LibraryThing the only exception might be trying to find the link so you can embed it into a blog but once you find it, it's smooth sailing. I really enjoyed the wide selection of books they provide for you and once you find what you're looking for it gives you recommendation on books you might also enjoy.

The main reason I chose this website over Shelfari and Goodreads was because I liked how it looked on a blog over the other two. It is more compact and, In my opinion, fits a lot better because it's not taking over the entire blog.

If I ever had to do a report on multiple books, this would be a great way to showcase them. It can help people get a visual for the book as I talk about it and it can help them get a feel for what kind of book it is based on the cover.

Documents and Presentations: Topic 7

1. Google drive can be extremely useful when you want to do anything group related in class. I recently used it for a project that three other people had to work on and we all ended up doing really well because we were able to collaborate really well and make sure that are information worked well together. Here is my  Book Timeline I created for The Giver.

2. The tool I selected was Powtoon. This site lets you created animated presentations that you can use for anything that involves you trying to get you point across. It gives all of your works that "WOW!-factor" and is super easy to use along with being free, all you need is a Google account and you are ready to start Powtooning.

3. Basically I'm Obsessed with Corvettes.
