Computing – Understanding reliable sources

Today in computing, we looked at the difference between reliable and unreliable. We learned that not all things we read or see on the internet are real or true… Even if information looks realistic, we have to ensure that we check our sources before we believe what we are reading/seeing. Today, we looked at some information on a website about a ‘Tree Octopus’. After using our background knowledge, lots of discussion around what we were reading and analysing photographs, we agreed that this website was not reliable and the Tree Octopus does not exist!
