For our presentation we chose to do dinosaurs. We decided on this subject at random as we couldn't come up with an interest that we all agreed with. In order to find the website we used, we Google searched the word Dinosaurs. We each picked a website each and looked through them to see which one was the best. In hindesight we should have looked at more than one website each in order to get the one we used. This would have helped us get a broader view of what was available to us.
Once we had our website we used site; in order to find out if our site was reputable and reliable. This was a helpful thing to do as the results showed us many links that contatined the same sort of content as the one we had chosen for our presentation. This told us that our site was legitimate and a good one to use. We also used the fact that the web address contained an "ac.uk" as a sign that it was a reliable one to use. This was the case as, "ac" in a web address means that the site is an academic one.
Next we went through the site, looking at how much information it gave and how helpful this information was. We also took notes about how easy the site was to use and how appealing it was. All this was vital information for our presentation.
We found that the site's set up was a bit boring and plain. Due to this it would not appeal to a younger audience so we concluded that it was aimed more at an older reader. The site was also full of text and did not contain many pictures throughout. This also suggested that it was aimed at an older reader as younger audiences would need pictures and many colours in order to keep their attention.
Our chosen site also didn't go into much detail about the dinosaurs. In order to use it efficiently you would either have to have another site / reference at hand or you would need some prior knowledge of dinosaurs.
