Practical 9

Most Important Lesson

Throughout my semester in UIR, I have learn many things pertaining to the gathering of information on the internet. I didn't used to know the difference between Meta Search engines and normal search engines. I have also never used subject directories, hence it has been a enlightening experience for me.
The use of WIKI wetpaint has also been an eye opener for me. I find it extremely useful for sharing of online information as well as carrying out discussions.
Lastly, I've a better understanding of how to evaluate websites in terms of their quality, accuracy and various other factors before considering it to be my source. This is very important because the internet is full of information so picking and choosing correct websites for research is critical.
That's all I have to say for the final post in this blog.

Learning Citation
Well, the assignment 2 is due soon! This week my group had to compile all the sources from assignment 2. This isn't easy as summarize and ensure that our information do not over lap with each other. Also, we had to ensure that we do not lose our sources because we have to cite them at the end of the wiki to avoid plagiarism according the APA style. Therefore in reports citations are especially important.
