Web Page Evaluation
http://www.martinlutherking.org/
This website is created to notice the so called immorality and subversion of doctor king. They believe that the goverment is hiding something on his life and that is why the FBI has locked down files on him. They say that he plagerized his speeches, was an american hating communist and a criminal betrayer under the control of a Marxist Jewishconspiracy.
This website could only be used in schools to teach kids that there is alot of information on the web that isn’t trustworthy, this would be a good example to show them because most of them are probably familiar with Martin Luther King. Kids can learn to be less trusting by being taught how essentail it is to research your webpage and ensure that it is credible.
When i did a google search of martin luther king jr. this website came up second in my search. I think this webiste is so high on the list because the name of the website in exactly what i typed into the search box (mius the www and org).
As far as using the web page evaluation checklist, is would be hard to use on this website if i knew nothing about MLK because the webpage appears to be well research by all the links on the right hand side. It’s not hard for a website to deceive people if they want to do so. This website has good documentation of their sources becasue the speeches are all correct they just use false information to accuse King.
