Hello there, young readers! If you’re reading this article, chances are that you’re connected to the Internet. Did you know that people on the Internet sometimes have opinions?
Yes, there are all sorts of crazy opinions people have on the Internet! Why, on the Internet, people say things like “So-and-so should win the Presidential election,” “I have the right to marry my pet turtle,” and “Garfield is a funny comic strip.” But how do you know what is an opinion, and what is a fact?
Fortunately, Professor Garfield is here to help. His educational iPad game will have you telling the difference between fact and opinion, in no time!
I think my favorite part of this “game” is when Professor Garfield denounces Wikipedia as an untrustworthy website. Three times. That’s a fact! Or is it an opinion? Guess I’ll have to play the game again!
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah highschool hasn’t changed much in that perspective, although it seems now a days it doesn’t get *quite* as much negativity as it used to, probably because people realized that because students weren’t allowed to use Wikipedia, they’d more often go to these “Goats, Goats, Goats” websites.
Also, isn’t this app downloaded from the internet? Do they have any evidence to back up their claims? I don’t see any additional sources referenced, and I only really see two definitive statements, both of which we are just supposed to accept to be true.
So if I tell my friend that the quadratic formula is -b+ or – the square root of b^2 minus 4AC over 2A, but yet don’t have the work to show it, does that mean that that’s only my opinion of the quadratic formula.
Maybe I’m reading too much into this…
OR IS THAT JUST AND OPINION!?!?
The Virginia Department of Education is credited as being behind this app. You can decide for yourself if that counts as a credible source.
Ha! I know from who Nermal got THAT opinion:
