Hello everyone and welcome back for my rant on week three's school work,
Well I started out this week by doing the database assignment,which really was not hard to do at all, all we had to do for this assignment was to look up web design information on both Pro quest and the Seattle library catalog, our objective was to figure out which database you would use to look up certain information like which one would go more in depth. after completing that assignment i moved on to the library catalog assignment, in this assignment we were suppose to find books at our college library that could help us in doing our pathfinder assignment.
After doing that I moved on to the visting a library assignment, this assignment I have to say took the most time and effort to do, the main objective of this assignment was to have us visit a college library and explore it, we were sent there to figure out where the main book collection was located and were the reference and peroidcal sections were located. Then after doing that I went on to do the organzing information assignment, which I did on my movie assignment.We were suppose to talk about how we catorgized or organized our collection.
Well thanks for reading catch you next week,
joe

week 2
Hello everyone,
This is Joe once again hitting you up from my house. Well in week two I started off by creating my own blog which was quite fun, I went to the website the teacher gave us, after signing up for my own blog I did a little changes to it, I changed the background color from a boring white to a smoke gray color I then changed the text to a red if I remember right. After creating my blog I moved on to the global topics assignment, which was kinda fun, I first thought of things that would excite me or at least something that I could focus on. SoI picked the war on terrorism, the high unemployment rates and I also picked the biggest debate in the world global warming.
After the global topics assignment was done I moved on to do the web as a research tool assignment, which I think was the funnest assignment this week. I got to research things like the war in Lebanon and the laws forbidding the acts of torture. I used the websites the teacher asked us to use but i found the Liberians internet index a lot better to use then the rest. after that assignment I moved on to do the distance learning assignment, which was okay I just never liked libraries but it was an okay assignment to do. In the assignment I went to my college library and asked the guy working there a lot of different questions ranging from how long you can have a checked out book to question's about distance learning. last but not least I did the topic proposal assignment. In the work I had to tell the teacher what topic I was going to do for my pathfinder project, I had to give the name, why I thought this topic is global, and give a broader idea of the topic and then I had to tell her why I was interested in this topic.
I think the only thing that I had problems on was the topic propasl assigment. I really did not understand what she ment by broader part of the idea and narrower parts, so I hope I did it right. I learned a lot of new things like how to reseacher things using different search engines then google, I also learned new things about the war I did not know. Im still parcrasatating a little bit but im getting it under control.
Well im out of here everybody hope to talk to you all later,
