-REFLECTION

A) I know my information are reliable because I only used websites that were reasonably new so that I don’t have any outdated information. I know that the information from History.com and www.usnews.com are a little bit outdated, but History.com updated their information on January 30, 2019 and I used informations from www.usnews.com because their websites are well known and they used quotes from university professors which means that the information from this website is probably real.

I also read/watched through the whole article/video to look for any grammar or spelling mistakes because if there is too much then I know that the person who wrote this website is probably unprofessional or didn’t double check before uploading this website. I compared my website to other websites to see if the information matches. If it does, then I know that my information is valid.

B) I chose Sway because I wanted my work to feel more like a presentation. I was originally going to do use PowerPoint but I felt like that was too much for it. Sway was a great option for me because it was similar and simpler than PowerPoint. I can use different templates and background pictures from Sway to create a timeline like presentation.

C) I was satisfied with the result of my design because I was able to create a simple, but yet very clean looking timeline. I was originally going to make my timeline look something like a PowerPoint presentation and I think I succeed in making my work look like that. However, I wish there was an easier way of resizing the pictures on Sway

D) If I had another chance to do this assignment, I would search for more than 5 reliable websites and come up with new strategies on how to make sure your information is reliable.
