Johnson, Doug. "Maintaining Intellectual Freedom in a Filtered World." Learning and Leading with Technology 32.8 (2005): 39. ERIC. EBSCO. Mesa Community Coll. Lib., Mesa, AZ. 1 Oct. 2007 http://ezp.mc.maricopa.edu:2048/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=eric&AN=EJ697382&site=ehost-live
Using the criteria on pages 530-534 of Everything's An Argument, I evaluated the journal article cited above. The information is relevant to my topic, presenting a detailed explanation of a filtering decision. The author writes books and articles about technology and media, serves as director of media and technology for the Mankato Area Public Schools, and is a member of the board of directors of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). He understands the need for filtering, but presents a very balanced approach to using the technology in schools. The journal that published the article is Learning and Leading with Technology. The ISTE Web page describes it as "...a primarily practioner-submitted magazine..." with articles that are "editorially reviewed." The publication began in September of 1995, and the organization is respected in the fields of education and technology. The article was written over two years ago, but the information is still accurate. The ideas presented are specific to my research and my intended audience, but not too detailed or specialized to be understood. The article is long enough to provide adequate details, and is readily accessible. I could not identify any omissions.
