All About Explorers

All About Explorers is an "educational" website that supposedly contains histories of various explorers throughout the years. However, it was actually designed to teach students about how some websites that look reliable can be full of misleading or false information.

Why This Can Ruin A Student's Grade
NOTE: As mentioned above, this website is bad on purpose in order to teach students about finding reliable sources.
 * 1) The website is full of obvious lies and historical inaccuracies.
 * 2) * They said that Christopher Columbus was born in Australia even though everyone knows he was born in Italy, and was not only an explorer, he was a slave trader as well. Better luck on your research next time!
 * 3) There were warnings through the site saying illegal strings.
 * 4) The dates are all wrong and inaccurate.
 * 5) They use a nice looking site to go and trick people into using the site, only to prove they think it's funny to screw people over.
 * 6) It can ruin a kid's test grade, due to the inaccurate facts.
 * 7) Sadly, someone could of made a website with the same name and have trustworthy information, but if someone else already took the name and used it for a website with lies, there's nothing you can do about it.
 * 8) Hypocrisy: They think that the internet isn't the best source when there's a lot of sites with trustworthy information.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The illegal string messages are long gone.
 * 2) It can be good enough to be used to teach students on how to find trustworthy sources on the internet.

Trivia

 * What is said on the page is that "Because all we wanted to make a kind of point about finding god awful useless and lame information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research!"
