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,
Joseph Mack
