Day 2 Journal

In the 2nd lesson, the lecturer told us that she likes to recap what we have we have learn in the previous lesson. That is good cause i can refresh for the upcoming test. What we have learn is the identify the purpose of the internet resources. It is to provide information, to advocate, provide current affairs such as news, for personal experiences and for entertainment.

The lecturer also point out those common mistakes we made while we doing research. As I am doing research on teens involving in drugs abuse, the keywords is DRUGS ABUSE, IMPACT, TEENS. For example, people just type drugs abuse..... Then it will leads to Drugs abuse on adults, women, men or even animals. So it is important to list out all the key words. This is the tips on doing research given by our lecturer.

The lecturer also explain that to improve search by using directory. Example, Yahoo directory, you type sports and websites about sports came into the directory. While using Yahoo, when you type sports, maybe a blog came out in the search with a quote saying "Mary and I went to the stadium to do some sports".

She also told us that most of the people doesn't familiar with the directory and are only familiar with search engine cause it was just 1 click away. This internet is so effective that I can use directory to do my research in a faster way and lesser time.

The lecturer also told us using " or even Boolean AND or NOT plus using() also helps to break down the keywords and minimize the search faster. and using *. e.g. cent* will gives you century, centre or center in the search result. This also helps me to save time in my Final Year Project effectively.
