day 4
its day 4 at our holiday cds. well, i guess everything's still going on smoothly. i mean, i still understand and am not lost during the lecture.
today, we have like 2 practicals into 1! at first i was like, =_=ll .... but i realised it wasn't so bad. :D
today, we leanrt about using the keywords of our topics to search for the most accurate adn relevant resources. its not that hard. considering we're all internet kids and stuff. i mean, this IS the internet age. but this lessons kinda really made us advance our already existing knowledge and it really did helped me understand and know how to find much mroe accurate information on the internet then before. at least, now i know the trick to it, rather then getting HUGE chunkc of information and having to sort them out only picking the ones that are most accurate and relevant to your topic.
i mean, from our topic, we had to like list our the words we think are keywords that will help us in researching. AND find variations of those words! well, that part wasnt really hard. i mean, it wasnt even a challenge! all i had to do was just to right click on the keywords in word document and then click on synonyms and a list of varaitions come out. talk about convenience in advanced technology nowadays. its just awesome. so fast and convenient!
NOW, for the hard part, we had to give examples of 3 search facilities. one search engine, one meta search engine and one subject directory. we need to like reaseach on them, well, not really research, but try them out and decide which one we like using best and stating the reasons so on this really huge table that took up like 2 pages!
we then had to evaluate the websites and stuff. oh yea, and compare them, that was a bit troublesome(coming from a lazy person like me) but it really did helped me understand quite a lot i guess. good way of learning. we can keep the practica too for future refernces which is great!
well, its kinda heavy duty lesson considering its a holiday cds. but oh wells, i've learnt stuff so it wasnt a waste of my time or anything! i kinda liked it too :D:D
