Conclusion

Because anyone can publish on the Web, it sometimes reflects the chaotic, uneven, sometimes confusing world around us. By exploring the Web, you've journeyed into real learning where you must judge between fact and opinion, bias and insight, importance and insignificance. We hope you've added to the wisdom carried around in that head of yours. If you want to check yourself, take a look at the evaluation rubric for this activity. Either way, remember that understanding isn't a destination, but a journey. Have a great trip!
