MLK+Information

=What's your dream?=

Created by: Dori Castignola

This first website is made by NAACP. The website is very credible because it is published and funded by NAACP. This website also has a lot of information about Martin Luther King and what he did with his life. This website's purpose is to inform readers about Martin Luther King and the events in his life; it is also to share the inspiration that Martin Luther King had started to share with the world before his death. When you first get to the website, you see an inspirational quote followed by a nice photograph of Martin Luther King. What I really enjoyed about this website was the "Whats Your Dream?" section. This gives people who visit this site a chance to publish onto the website a story, or an exert of his/her dream. I thought this was a very powerful homepage because of the inspiration it entails. Also, this website includes many tabs at the top that lead you to other parts of the site. I liked these tabs because it was an easy way to navigate and a nice tool to help you find the information you may want. For example, there is a tab that says 'History.' If you click this, it can lead you to an interactive time-line. I think this time-line is a very good source especially for students. It is not like your normal time-line; it talks to you! This site does not show bias. All of the facts are informational and have sources to go along with them. Also, you are able to sign up with the site; this gives you the opportunity to learn more. There is a tab that allows you to ready more about the authors of the site. This information confirms the fact that this is a reliable source of information. This site is very credible and includes a resource tab as well.

=Biography, Videos, & More!=

The second website is Spartacus Educational. When looking at the purpose of the site, I found that the author was trying to inform readers about Martin Luther King's life and all of the events that took place in it. The author of this site is very reliable. The author of this site is an author of many different history books and is also a member of E-help. There is a tab located at the top that you can click to find more about the author. The author has some words underlined that readers can click if they choose to. By clicking these, it will take you directly to a Wikipedia page telling you more information on the word that you clicked. From that page, you can find out some additional information, and you can also find other topics that you may want to browse. This site does not contain bias because it is all factual information with sources. This website is directly related to my topic: Martin Luther King. It entails a biography and many different videos users can watch that help demonstrate some of the amazing movements Martin Luther King was involved in. If you keep scrolling down the site, you will find four different videos. You can watch these all directly from the site. This site does not contain bias because it is all factual information. None of the facts on this page are the authors opinion of something.
