What does Dave mean when he says for Essay 3 you'll be creating a multimedia post sharing "a wide variety of sources from a variety of media including web, print, videos, podcast, books, e-books, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, scholarly articles"?

Variety of sources - what are those? Sources could be:

It depends on what "it" is, and the context in which you're using it. Think about the type of information (e.g., a tweet, a painting) and what you expect of it in terms of quality and in terms of your intended use of it. We'll do this together in class.

Also, I find that asking myself these questions helps me decide if information is good to use:

1. Is there thoughtful substance to this information?
2. Can I identify an author?
3. Does this information seem trustworthy to me?
4. Do I trust the publisher of this information (could be a website, blog, magazine, corporation)?
5. If this is an opinion piece, is it fact-based or totally coming out of left field?
6. How old is this information and does that matter?
7. Could you talk about this topic around the water cooler?
8. Does this source ask questions? Is it philosophical?
9. Is the source long enough to actually share good, meaty information?
