Unit 2 Assignment 2

I explored both websites and factcheck.org seemed to be the more quality website. Factcheck.org was very organized and and Justfacts.com seemed a bit rambled. I did think that justfacts.com had more information and might help more if one went there to do research. I found that I would prefer Factcheck.org for navigation purposes. Both websites were great but I found that Factcheck.org prevailed over justfacts.com for the CRAAP test.

Hey guys!

Hey, I'm Jasmine Jakes. I'm a freshman at Georgia State University. Go Panthers! I'm also a member of the GSU Women's soccer team and I am studying exercise science.

Here are a few of the web communications I use very often during my average week:


  • Instagram- I love taking pictures and posting them for my friends to see and for others to see what I'm up to without being total creeps.
  • Twitter- I'm addicted to twitter because I can be witty and funny, even when I can't think of what to say in the moment.
  • Facebook- it was all the rage at one point but now all I use this for is to update my pictures and remember people's birthdays.
  • Tumblr- this is where I go to get creative ideas but also express what I love and think is funny without using my own pictures. 
  • Wanelo- this reminds me of a more "hip" version of eBay. It's kind of my way of "look but don't touch."
  • Pinterest- I tried to get into this and I have one but I rarely use it.
  • We Heart It- I get all of my crafty ideas from here, from clothes to jewelry to art.
  • Email- I use this a lot more than I think I do. I email my teachers for questions, coaches for workouts, friends for assignments, and my parents for my Christmas list.
