Summary

My recommendation for the type of web site/top-level domain for my topic is .gov because it brought all the top-level domains up and within .com was gov. and .edu included .gov. I found .gov to include student government and when government sites were viewed they were blogs or weblogs. Government site blogs concerned me as they had a bias. I found student voice for education to be concerned with their rights within the plagiarism topic. The subject directories are my favorite. They have a quality I like. I am a student and have learned a wealth of information however I have much more to learn. I feel overwhelmed at the amount of study required to be a full time student. I run out of time. I appreciate the opportunity to become knowledgeable about how to research the internet and the world wide web and tomorrow will bring an even greater knowledge. Thanks.
