More Fake Website Examples, can you spot the problems/inaccuracies? (thanks to Lindsay)
http://city-mankato.us/. Take a look at the website to see if this would be a place you would like to visit.
"Mankato, Minnesota is truly a wonderland. Tucked into the Emerald Green Valley in Southern Minnesota, it is the hidden vacation Mecca of scores of knowing Midwesterners. Mankato has everything thanks to a freak of nature: the Sclare/Far Fissure. This fissure in the earth's crust takes water seeping through the earth, heats it to well over 165 degrees, and sends it back up to the surface in steam pits and boil holes. The heat from these pits and holes heats the valley air to such an extent that the winter temperature in many Mankato neighborhoods has never dropped below a balmy 70 degrees!!!! Come enjoy our winters! Let's "Make It Mankato" ! !
We are real, we are warm and we would love to see you!"
Most people who go to this website will realize that it is exaggerated and correctly conclude that it is not true (Descy, 2008). Unfortunately, not everyone draws the same conclusion. Rosaura Prada of Texas brought her mother to visit Mankato and stood in tears when she realized it did not exist (Descy, 2008). If we do not educate students how to really think about websites they are viewing we risk having students blindly accept everything they read online.
