I have to type this first because I can't get an account with gabcast for some reason.
I decided to look at the Digital Profile on S.R. Sidarth a senior at Univerisity of Virginia.
I hope you all read his profile. If you didn't quick points are that he is a double major in Engineering and Government. The biggest thing is that he worked for James Webb's 2006 senate campaign. His job was to monitor Webb's opponent George Allen.
I think its great that information about political figures is on the web. You just have to be careful as to where this information is and if it is credible. Which the information in this profile is credible its on tape and posted on you tube.
I would have never known that Senator George Allen was an idiot if I hadn't seen that you tube video!
He is a jerk to S.R. Sidarth in public and now it has been replayed again and again. Also it was published on the web by Time magazine.
So much information that is out on the web sometimes it is hard to put it all into focus. With students you will, I believe, have to give them a pathway or focus their eyes on what on the internet is worth having a look at.
