Journal week 7

Hey everybody and welcome back for week 7,

Well this week did not start off on a good one, first off angel screwed up and we all had to fix things and then my computer decides to fry when I need it the most so that made it worse but other then that lets get back to what im suppose to be talking about.

Well this week I started it off by doing the Research and the world wide web assignment, in this one we were suppose to talk about how the internet can affect attitudes and methods of doing research, which to me was not hard because we just had to tell them what we felt. After that I went on to do the web search assignment, in this assignment we were told to read some instructions basically on how different search engines and databases work, then after that we were suppose to pick four search tools and use them to find out information on our topics, after doing that we were told to answer question such as, what were the results of our searches and which search tool worked best for us, then we had to tell which site we found useful when we did our searches. After completing that assignment I moved on to do the advanced google search assignment in this assignment we were suppose to do searches using keywords and terms that we had found useful in other weeks to find information by using two forms of Google like the advanced search engine and Google scholar, after that we were suppose to answer questions based on our search, questions like what terms or keywords we used and what features we used and then we were suppose to compare the search tools we used. After that I moved on to do the web citations assignment, in this one we were told to write citations for three web sites we have found early in the week, and we are suppose to use the MLA citation guide to this. After that I moved on to the last assignment of the week, evaluating web sites, in this assignment we were told to first find two websites that we have found this week that we think will be helpful in our pathfinder and write citations for both, after that we were told to evaluate the websites by answering question given to us by the teacher like, what the purpose of the site was, who created the site and when was it last updated, after that we were told to write annotations about the web sites by answering questions and telling about what the website was made for.




Well I think the only thing I really had a problem with was the citations like I always do but I think I over came it and did them right. I think I learned some new things like how to use the advanced search on Google and how to look up scholarly thing on Google.


Well I'm out of here catch me next week,

Joe
