Ok ... Wow.... sooo much information in such a short time. I like computers however I have a very little window of knowledge that I know about. I will be interested to see if how many hours it takes me to get my homepage to look normal without add gadget everywhere! Navigating through things on a computer is not something I do well either so I am hoping this will help me class will help(esp. Clarion Website).
I am amazed at what we were taught about narrowing searches. It was adding something as simple as edu to your advanced search will make it so much easier to maneuver through the garbage to the better websites. Google scholar looks like it is going to be a great tool as I start out on this adventure of graduate classes. I was anxious to share the information about google scholar with a colleague of mine because I know it would be a great help to her during her graduate courses as well because she has talked to me a number of times about having a hard time finding articles on certain topics.
I agree with you that learning how to surf the internet efficiently will make life much easier. I did not know about the (edu) tip. The funny thing about this is that my brother-in-law just explained to me about making sites and putting in key words to get your page to the top of the search, but he didn't tell me how to avoid it. Happy surfing!
ReplyDeleteI hope after class meetings, you have time for it all to sink in and the best stuff will rise to the top! Glad to read that you are enjoying what we are learning!
