If there was a reading assignment,what did you learn from it? What did you not understand? What prior knowledge did you bring to the reading material?
well today we learned about library websites. According to Ms. S the four best cuny schools are Hunter, city, Baruch and Brooklyn College. And Brooklyn has the best library because its the newest and has the most updated books. It was redone sometime in the past 10 years and there website is also redone. They have a lot of great resources that you would't be able to find otherwise.

Today we did a worksheet in the lab that involoved us comparing breadcrumbs of different web direcotires. I did it wrong so i will have to redo the sheet but now i know the work and what a breadcrumb accually is. Directories are easy to use but in terms of quickness a search engines wins in that department. It takes longer and you really shouldnt use a directory if your searching for somthing specfic.

Well today we learned about directories. A directory is different from in a search engine in that a directory works on sites put in different catogories which are hand picked. The major directory site is yahoo and most people don't even know that yahoo has a directory. Its not as popular as a search engine but it gives you less results to look through.

What did you learn? What material was new to you? What were the three most important things you learned in today's lesson/independent practice?
Well today we learned about fake websites and how convincing they can be. We visited the tree octopus website which was very well made and looked convincing. They even sold t shirts hats and other novelty items. Its clear that someone is putting a lot of effect into making this seem real. The problem i had with the web site is that a lot of the photo's were not well made. They could have photoshoped them better to make it seem more real. You could tell that the octopus didn't belong there.

Well today we went over the country extensions that you would use. For example us is the united states and uk is the united kingdom. So if you were looking up schools in the uk it would be sch.uk. Granted you would put the school name in front of it but thats how you would do it. We learned about 15 countries including Canada which is ca and mexico which is mx.
