What a valuable lesson lear...Dear Levi and Room 5,<br /><br />What a valuable lesson learned by all. It is important to verify that facts are correct before publishing. <br /><br />We had this happen in our class...more than once. (I'm sad to report.) Last year, I had a boy in my room who read a lot about U.S. presidents and everyone looked upon him as an expert. When he and two other boys left a comment for a blogger, they incorrectly stated something about Thomas Jefferson. Although is was a minor mistake, it was incorrect. The other two boys had trusted that our "expert" knew his facts, so no one verified it in a reference book. After I read the comment, I stated that I thought the fact was incorrect and that we should look it up. <br /><br />Sheepishly, my expert went back to the blog where he'd left his comment and left the correct information. <br /><br />It is always a good idea to take the time to fact check. Unless someone says, "On your mark, get set, go!" there is no hurry and it is important that we spread true information.<br /><br />Thanks for a great lesson and good for you Levi for being open to teaching others. This is a common problem on the web, and this post helps teach others!<br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Mrs. Y♥llis<br />CaliforniaMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.com
