A New Online Refererence Tool..."A Unit Of Knowledge"

By Janet Evans
Sunday, Sep 14 2008, 11:30 AM



Wikipedia is an online reference tool that has caused some controversy due to the fact that anyone and their brother can add fact…or fiction, to its ever-growing body of information.  For general information on topics that can be cross referenced, Wikipedia can be pretty handy. 
 Google has unveiled its own online reference tool …a free online encyclopedia called “Knol.”  You can find it at http://knol.google.com



 “Knol” references a unit of knowledge.



If you create a Google login you may submit an article.  “Knol” is just a baby and, so far, only has several hundred articles.

The difference with “Knol?” 

Unlike Wikipedia, you
must identify yourself when submitting an article.

Another “beauty” who must have been putting on her mascara during geography class:



 




Is she really that dumb, or are we just not spending enough time on geography, social studies and history in school?

I don’t know about you, but I know I want to go on a game show, in front of millions of people, when I know I will be asked questions that will make me look ignorant. 









 

Franklin Public School's Website Is HORRIBLE

I am COMPUTER LITERATE. 

All I wanted was a simple telephone number this morning. 

All I wanted was to call the DISTRICT OFFICE and ask a few QUESTIONS. 

I wanted the MAIN TELEPHONE NUMBER.
 

After TEN MINUTES of SEARCHING around the lame site, which is cluttered with photos and other useless information, the best I could do was find email addresses.   

Then FINALLY I was able to get a direct number to an individual that I could settle on calling. 

Upon calling this individual, instead of going directly to this person, I get an automatic operator that makes me input the person’s extension, which I don’t know. 

So I am now required to spell out the person’s last name.
 

Then I get VOICEMAIL. 

 FRANKLIN PUBLIC SCHOOL’S WEBSITE IS HORRIBLE! 



"UNGLUED" IS an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!!!

 

FPS  Does not WANT US TO CALL THEM! 

 

Franklin Public School's Website Is Horrible

 

UPDATE:  Alright ... I will admit an oversight on my part ...

In just reviewing the site one more time, I did find the MAIN telephone number in the darkened grey footer at the very bottom of the main page.  IT IS THERE, but I'm sorry.  This is not good enough for me.  Why is it not up at the top.  Or in the main body of the page, or under "About our District?  I never brought the page all the way down th the VERY end.  I didn't expect it to be there. 

The website is still HORRIBLE!
