[[Reflection for day 2]]

Today is a long and tiring day..
We did practical 3 today and learn how to
site link people.. Actually I did my Practical 1 and 2
today also. We did lots of research today on the topics
we chose. I chose the topic on AIDS. Looking for the
information on AIDS is like looking at some weird
photos.

It was quite difficult to find a blog on AIDS. I still
manage to find it in the end after a long day of
researching. By the way, the video played during
class was quite nice.

Looking through the different information on HIV and AIDS,
I refresh my memory on how they are pass and treated. As
I had learned about it when I was in secondary school.
AIDS is also not passed easily unless there is contact in blood
so people should not treat these patients as if as they are
monster and so on.

I was not impressed by the googles search engine as
that is what I used normally to search for information.
This is also my first time doing citation. I think that
by doing citation when will know how recent the sites are,
how reliable they are by knowing who the author are.

I also learn how to search for information more efficiently
by using some other keywords so that there will be more
results available. I search through Google for the required
information by typing (impact OR effect*) AND
(youth* OR teens*) AND (AIDS HIV OR Sexually Disease)

For practical one, I found a forum and a site which is related
to HIV AIDS. I feel that participating in a discussion forum
is something quite new so I feel that it is quite fun. Personally,
I feel that the discussion forum is both useful and not useful
as it is only useful when someone commented on it. If not
the forum will be concluded as useless.

This is my first time doing site feed. I had trouble linking
people with site feed. Personally, I do not like to link
people using site feed. Although using site feed allows
people to read the things on the blog more easily. However,
I do not like it as I feel that people's effort are not being
shown.

I also have to link my friend's blog link to my own blog.
Lucky there is this function there in the site. If not i will
have a hard time memorising other people links.

It is also my first day doing the WIKI collaborating.
I had fun doing it. However, I felt kind of shock as
I realise what I did was totally wrong and so I
have to delete everything in the WIKI site. I think that
WIKI is a chance for others to recognise the hard work
that one put in and to show what we had learn.
