Question: What did you learn from reading someone else's blog?


I read Michelle's blog entry about learning how to use the four search engine tools and comparing them to databases. I learned when comparing a database to a search engine, the search engine contains a significantly large amount of sites as opposed to the organized and credible however few numbered sites that a database holds. The blog was informative and allowed readers to understand why each source is important.
Question: What did you understand most about todays lesson and independant practice?

This week I learned how to use the invisable web. There are many pros and cons to this new and controversial search scource of information. One of the pinnacle differences between the world wide web and the invisable web is that it is highly un organized and as someone quoted, "The internet may be the worlds greatest library but let's face it, all the books are scattered on the floor". An advantage of using the invisable web is that it is well organized and contains credible sites. An advantage of using the world wide web is that there are many more search topics and material to view.
