Advice to Everyone

Today my class were split into groups to find out whether the sites we were given were real, or fake. Here's what we did (in order):

• First we researched the people/person who made the blog, for my blog, the author is Lyle Zapato. Here's what you should do:
• Find the author's name.
• Find out what makes the author an expert.
• See if there's grammar or spelling errors.
• See if you can contact the author.
• Then we found out if the information can be trusted.
• Is the website for profit?
• Can you find the same information in other places?
• Is the author trying to persuade you? Strong wording.
• It this site/article up to date?
• Can you find the date of the site/article?
• When was the site/article last revised?
• Do the links work?
• Will this site have the information I need?
• Does the information answer my research question?
• Is the site easy to navigate?
• Is there useful information for students?

Here are the phony websites we researched:

• All About Explorers
• Improbable Research
• Aluminum Beanies
• The Jackalope
• Molossia

Google Advanced Search Techniques

I think that knowing Google Search Techniques are important, because you can narrow your search down to find specific results.

Here are some things we learned about:

• Put quotation marks to find the exact words in the search.
• Write:
  allintext:_________ <-then your search, to find the the exact words you wrote, in your results.
• Write:
  allintext:_________ -_______________
                ^ then your search            ^
                                                what you want to exclude
  
  To show what you want to exclude and what you want.
• Got to search tools to refine the search by time reading, reading level, country, etc.
• Search what you want.
• Go to Settings.
• Go to Advanced Search.

Fitness Goal Setting

Upper Body Strength (Push-Ups)

I don't really have to work as hard for my push-ups, since I'm in the healthy range. I still want to get better, so I will make a goal of getting a score of 15-20 push-ups. I will try to achieve this goal by doing about 30 push-ups everyday, some modified, and most real push-ups.

Cardiovascular Fitness (Pacer Test)

I did okay in the Pacer test, though I still was in the Healthy Range for the Pacer test, I only got a score of 24. I will make a goal of getting a score of 28 or more, next time I do a Pacer Test. I will try to achieve this goal by doing 15-20 minutes of running activities 3+ time per week, including school activities.

Abdominal Strength (Curl-Ups)

I think I need to work the most on my curl-ups. I didn't get in the Healthy Range for curl-ups, so I will make a goal of getting to the Healthy Range next time. I will try to achieve this goal by doing about 46 or more curl-ups everyday.

Flexibility - Sit and Reach (Measured in Centimeters) 

Sit and reach is the only topic I got over the Healthy Range. My goal for sit and reach for the next sit and reach test is to get a score slightly higher than what I recently got, 32 centimeters. I will do this by continuing to stretch everyday.
