Module 4
Evaluating the Web
your best 'source' or site from the three you used in the last task
Annotation for website http://www.anteater.com.au/
This website is for 3 pest control companies (Ant-Eater Pest Control • Gladesville Pest Control • Gunn Pest Control), who trade under the name anteater environmental services based in Sydney Australia
- the reliability and authority of the site / source / article
= the site is commercial and I believe the information it contains is correct as incorrect information would be against the law, illegal and detrimental to their business
- the main ideas or subjects discussed in the article
= location and type of service provided
- the purpose for which the site was written (this might include any apparent external interest, intellectual motivation or contextual information)
= the site was written and published to advertise a business or service
LOG ENTRY:
Record your annotation in your learning log
= In my view the above website anteater environmental services, is a business trying to advertise their services to the consumer. I believe all the information in their website is correct and incorrect information would only hurt them both legally and morally
Compare your final analysis and annotation with the material you saved for the last task, and think about these questions (you may wish to discuss these questions in your group)
In terms of your own future use, which 'body ' of information (ie. the original 'snapshot' of the site, or your own, annotated, analytical version) would be most useful to refer back to?
- I refer back to my annotated information that the company is a pest removal service based in Sydney
In term of external users (i.e. if you included this site as a hyperlink or resource on a website) which body of information would best help them judge if the site was useful or of interest to them?
- That this website is useful for people in Sydney who require pest control
