Presentation
When you think back to our speed-debates, please think of the following.
ReplyDelete-it was actually difficult to find FACTS in only 15 minutes of google searching
-not everything that there is or ever was is on the web...for free
-the types of information that are the easiest to find are usually oriented toward the *synthesis* or opinions that are drawn as a result of facts that others have experienced first hand
-when conducting research on the web, the goal is to encounter the facts yourself so you can create your own opinion instead of only choosing from the limited opinions presented.
