The questions educators should be having students asking of any web site:

  1. What is the credibility of such evidence?
  2. Who created this?
  3. How can we validate or refute the information?

This video http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/pentagon.swf  is a good example of the type of information on the Internet that can have great appeal to students, but should have great concern to educators.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VIDEO

This video is available on many websites. The hosting site http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/  is listed as being affiliated with S.P.I.N.E. The Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven.  They are the founders of the Canadian host site called physics911.ca

Their site states:

" Members of the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-eleven come from a variety of professional backgrounds. Some investigate aspects of the 9/11 attacks, others search the web for useful information, and some write up new material. We have tried to maintain professional standards in both the analysis and presentation of the evidence we have assembled, as well as in the scenarios we have constructed.

We have found solid scientific grounds on which to question the interpretation put upon the events of September 11, 2001 by the Office of the President of the United States of America and subsequently propagated by the major media of western nations. Our analysis of the detailed evidence implies a staged attack employing a variety of deceptive arrangements. Indeed, every element of the September 11 attacks, including cellphone calls from fast-moving aircraft, has an alternate means of creation."



In having students evaluate a website such as this using tye 3 basic questions above, there will be some opinions from your students pro and con of the website, video and the information given.
