[[Reflection for day 3]]

Today, Ms Lin evaluate our strengths and this
allows me to know more about myself like what
my strengths are and so on. I feel that the results
evaluated are quite truth after all as most of it really
matches my personality. I also get to know more
search facilities today.

During the afternoon, it is ms Farida lesson again.
We did practical 6 and tutorial 1 & 2.

For Practical 6, we log on to TP's Digital Library
Portal Research Gateway. The website I went to is
http://spark.tp.edu.sg/ . The site there provides
databases. I use the site to search for
information on HIV AIDS. However, I feel that
the invisible web is not very useful as I can only
find one document that is related to my topic.
The next site that I went to is
http://library.books24x7.com .
This site is also known as the invisible web.
I cannot find any available information about
HIV AIDS. Therefore, I do not find the site to be
useful at all. The result I get are also mainly about
technology instead.

Personally, I feel that using the invisible web to
search for information is not really useful as I
cannot really find all the information I need.
I think that by using the different search facilities,
I will be able to get more information which will
help me in my work.

I also feel that meta-search is the most useful
among all the search-engine I know. I feel that
search-engine provide me the most useful information
so far. The information provided there are also
much more reliable as compared to invisible web.
Although very little information are available,
most of the information given are related to what I
am looking for. However, I will still use invisible
web for my own diploma when necessary.
As for the WIKI, I had learnt how to share the stuff
I know there.

As for Tutorial 1 & 2, we did group work.
My group members are Zhi Keong, Zera, Li Tene and Randy.
Our mission was to think five question by reading through
Lecture 4. Answer must also be provided. So each of us
think of one question and Zera posted everything up WIKI.
That is the end of the first activity.

Next, we talk about Internet. I realise that internet has
somehow become part of everyone's life. Looking through
what some of the people post, there are many different
stuff that we need internet to work on.

I think that it is fun to post my view on the discussion forum
as it is my first time doing something like that which make
me feel excited. I also feel that it is alright for me to post all
my views freely as nothing is right and nothing is wrong
as everyone has the freedom of speech.
I feel that having a discussion here is much better than having
conversation the traditional way. I feel that it is better this
way as we are able to express ourselves more freely. As it is
sometimes quite awkward to have a face-to-face conversion.
I find this activity very useful as I will be able to somehow
communicate some of the people in the class.

Thought of you at... |6:42 PM|
