Blog 11 I learned that there is a lot of information on the web that maybe isnt credible. I never thought that a lot of the things on line are just someones opinions. I understand now why its so important to do the extra research. It probably would never have come to my attention without this english class. I learned not to just google everything, but to take more time and research things properly.
