Hi All, Well in addition to responding to this message I learned a valuable lesson, never hit the back button in blackboard. I had my response completely done and lost it, oh well. After reading the assignment, immediately I thought of an e-mail my brother-law recently sent my wife and I. He forwarded to us and countless others the incredible Bill Gates beta test give away. This hoax claimed that for every person you forwarded the e-mail to you would receive $245. One person that forwarded it claimed to be a lawyer and this offer absolutely had to be true. Well guess what, when I started reviewing the sites provided in this assignment, I found out what I thought all along, this e-mail was a hoax. If something is too good to be true then it probably is. I replied back to my brother-law and the others, this e-mail was a hoax and provided him and the others with the same links given to us, so they could investigate anything else they thought might not be true. I think it’s very important, we teach our students how to find out whether something is true or not. This may seem elementary to those of you who surf the net a lot, but I had no idea where to look for these sites. I know I could have searched for them, but I never really gave it a thought. I think probably the majority of people who pass these things along have no idea where to go to find out whether they or true or not and probably haven’t even given it a consideration that they could research these e-mails to find out whether they are true or not. We should provide a link off of our district web-site to these sites, so the students could become better educated about what is fact or fiction.
