Practical 4-5 Activity 2

Finally managed to add my group mates in the blog list.... thanks to my classmates. With this function, I can personally link my blog to my groupmates with a click away. This is so important as there will be conversation and interaction between us working as a group.

Firstly, as a group member, we had to help out with each other who had problems or trouble in their work. To assist them as much as possible. Try to teach them if possible. At the same time, understand their feeling or emotion as much as possible. This make the group work more cohesive, and makes our bond closer.

Sites feed personally lets me to plan for my works, time or friends in my way. Although emotions is secondary when comes to work, but understanding of each other is also a must. This site feed not only brings our work closer, but at the same time, brings our bond closer. As we can check on those groupmates reflection, understand how they feel, tell them about those mistakes they did wrong. And of course congrat them when they did a really good job.

Ok Enough for blog. Let's get to work. I would like to talk about the benefits of using different search engines. Actually the most importnat thing is with different search engines, you get differents result with junk or useful resources. But with those useful resources using different search engine compiled together, you get a whole large pile of research.

As i am doing a research on impact on drugs abuse on youth, I can use Google scholar to look for statistic, those professor writing and Full text in online research paper. If i want to look for image, forum discussion on drugs abuse, I will use a search engine for those result. If possible, use meta search engine for better result as it is a multi search engine where it helps to search all information in Yahoo and Google in just a single search engine. Using directory, you can find some pills related information, parenting related informations regarding to drugs abuse.
E.g. Impact on drugs Abuse categorise by > Parents > Teens > Drugs > pills > Doctor.
And these are the research you can find using directory.

Using all these difference search engine, you get different results which is good because different result can let you compare and investigate so that you can come out with your own theory after comparison. So this is the benefits i have using different search engines



Above are the result that i am searching for relevance topic using meta-search engine and subject directory. Both file size are small and topic are quite relevance to my research.
