Evaluación de la información digital

Introducción 

  • La web ofrece información y datos de todo el mundo, la gran mayoría anónima. 
  • Es necesario el desarrollo de habilidades para evaluar lo que encontremos. 

Evaluación de recursos en línea. 

Hay distintas maneras de evaluar recursos en línea a través de distintos criterios, tres pueden ser investigados por medios electrónicos: 
  • Autoridad literaria. 
  • Cuerpo editorial. 
  • Actualidad. 

Autoridad literaria. 

¿Qué necesitamos saber sobre el autor? Cuando el autor es alguien desconocido, debemos hacernos las siguientes preguntas: 
¿El documento está firmado? 
¿Puedo obtener más información sobre el autor mediante la vinculación de esta página a otros documentos? 
¿Hubo información sobre el autor en la página donde se vinculó? 
La evaluación de la información por lo general consiste en un peso de una serie de criterios en conjunto, por lo que tendrás que evaluar la importancia de la autoría según sea el caso. 

Cuerpo editorial.

  1. Observa un sitio web, ¿incluye alguno de los siguientes elementos? 
  2. Encabezado o pie de página que muestre afiliación como parte de un sitio web más grande.
  3. Una marca de agua o fondo de pantalla que cumpla la misma función.
  4. Un enlace en la parte superior o inferior de la página que te permita ir a la página principal del sitio web donde vive el documento. 
  5. Un vínculo que te permite enviar un mensaje al web master. 
Si no puedes determinar el autor o editor de la página que estás tratando de evaluar, estás viendo información que es tan anónima como una página arrancada de un libro. No se puede evaluar lo que no se puede criticar. No es prudente utilizar esa información. Busca otra fuente.

Actualidad del documento

Incluso cuando se puede encontrar información sobre el autor, usted debe de considerar que tan “fresco” o “polvoriento” es el documento para esto debo buscar lo siguiente:

  • ¿Utiliza un titulo como “base de datos del censo 2010 del inegi”?
  • ¿Esta listada la fuente de estadística en una bibliografía de la pagina?
  • Si no puedes determinar donde viene la información estadística, o que tan viejo es el documento una vez mas la información es anónima
  • Busque en la parte inferior de la página, ¿tiene una fecha de actualización?
  • Para corroborar que la información fuera cierta investigue varias paginas y tambien investigue al autor o reportero y al parecer si es verdadera la noticia.

Residents of a California city are being terrorized by people dressed as clowns, some reportedly wielding machetes or baseball bats, police said.

“There’s a natural phobia of clowns,” Sgt. Joe Grubbs of the Bakersfield Police Department told ABC News today. “And, clearly, if someone is dressed up as a clown and holding a weapon in a threatening manner, that’s going to frighten people.”

There have been 20 sightings in a week, but only one clown has landed in cuffs. Bakersfield police arrested one juvenile last week for allegedly chasing other juveniles while in a clown costume. The 14-year-old suspect, who wasn’t armed, told police he was participating in a hoax he had seen online.

 

2.CREEPY CLOWN SIGHTINGS IN SOUTH CAROLINA CAUSE A FRENZY

By 

At the edge of dark, dark woods in South Carolina, children have been telling adults that a group of clowns have been trying to lure them into the cluster of trees. They say the clowns live deep in the woods, near a house by a pond.

This tale sounds like a mishmash of newspaper clippings and pages ripped from Stephen King novels, but these are actually details taken from a report filed by the sheriff’s office in Greenville County, S.C., last week, after several residents at an apartment complex there said that people in clown makeup had been terrorizing both children and adults.

Several children said that clowns were offering them money to follow them into the woods, close to the house by the pond. (The police say they have found no evidence of clown paraphernalia at the house.)

A woman walking home late one night said she had seen a “large-figured” clown waving at her from under a streetlight, the police said. (She waved back.) And another woman said her son had heard clanging chains and a banging noise at his front door. In these cases, people who reported clown sightings refused to give their names to the police.

The police don’t know whether the stories are coming from the imaginations of children or something sinister is afoot, but panicked residents seemed to be taking the law into their own hands: The Greenville sheriff’s office investigated reports that residents of the apartment complex may have fired shots in the direction of the wooded area.

CREEPY CLOWNS REALLY LURKING OR HOAX? 12 PEOPLE ARRESTED ACROSS US OVER FALSE REPORTS

On Sep. 14, authorities at the Troup County Sheriff’s Office in LaGrange, Georgia — some 70 miles southwest of Atlanta — examined a report of clowns standing near a white van. A driver told the officials that the vehicle was stranded after running out of gas, however, the deputies did not find any costumes in or around the vehicle. The authorities then questioned Brandon J. Moody, 26, who alerted them about the sightings. He later confessed that he made up the story and told his sister-in-law to call 911 and report about seeing clowns. Both of them were charged with obstruction and unlawful conduct during a 911 call, the sheriff’s office said, in a statement at the time.

Separately, police in LaGrange said on Facebook that they issued warrants for four people after several messages on the social media site on Sep. 12 complained of people in clown costumes threatening to carry out violence at three schools. It remained unclear whether the arrests were made, the Times reported.

In Alabama, police reportedly took four people, including three minors, into custody for making terrorist threats at schools in Flomaton and Beauregard on Sep. 12 and Sep. 21, respectively. Two teens in Henrico County, Virginia, are facing charges for chasing children while donning clown masks Wednesday.

Four students aged between seven and nine from Maryland had complained to police about seeing clowns on their way home. Police questioned them on Sep. 20 where they found that the children’s accounts were baseless.

False reports or threats in connection to sightings of “creepy clowns” in the United States have led to arrests of 12 people in over 10 states, the New York Times reported Thursday. The trend of creepy clown sightings is also linked to at least one death, the report added.

Initial reports of people spotting clowns surfaced mid-August in South Carolina, where it was claimed that the costumed figures acted as bait to entice children into the woods. Since then, such clown sightings have spread to Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

The latest incident comes from Reading, Pennsylvania, where a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death Sunday reportedly following a confrontation that may have been triggered by a person wearing a clown mask.
