Week 10. Information Magnet

09/05/08

Lecture:
This week we looked at using technology for accessing and organising information. We started with reading an article on Internet overload and answered questions on it. We then looked at a youtube video about the Internet and the reliability and lies online.

Task:
My first task was to look at the website: http://www.inette.com/aibtinette/favoritesI.html This is a tutorial on using bookmarks and favourites on the Internet.

The second task i had was to look at the site: http://archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/nn/bdcont.htm

The site is called being digital and was published 13years ago. This site should be updated regularly. This is because of the speed that technology is being updated- the information stated is inaccurate for today's use.
On the section of "the DNA of information" the prices and information is out of date and would not be a good source to use the information.

Readings:
  1. http://www.fno.org/text/grazing.html - This is an article on young people using the Internet, and dwells into the different skills developed and whether exploring a global network is a good thing.
