Hot Topics: Website Reconnaissance

Website Reconnaissance:
For this assignment, you will go “undercover” as if you were a non-health-professional parent/caregiver using your personal search-engine-of-choice (Google, Bing, etc.) to surf the net to find information on your chosen Hot Topic. As you surf, try to get a sense of the very different and often contrasting information that parents/caregivers might find on your Hot Topic issue. See what happens if you change the words used in your search… how does that affect the number of hits? After playing around with this for a while, narrow your search down to just two websites that represent contrasting opinions and answer the following questions:
1. Website #1: “YES” to your Hot Topic Question (WHAT did you find)
Â
Provide the link to the website you chose that represents the Pro/Yes position on your hot topic
Give a brief summary of the advice given
2. Website #2: “NO” to your Hot Topic Question (WHAT did you find)

Provide the link to the website you chose that represents the Con/No position on your hot topic
