2nd blog Post

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?



So far in class i have learned a lot about the internet and how it works. Like what a domain name is and what an extension is. I didn't know that the main reason sites are on top of the search is because they paid for them.
I always thought that it was because i that site had the most views therefor it was the most popular. Everything i learned was new to me. Learning that the internet search runs on a bunch of 
Algorithms. When you type something in on a search engine, key words are read and your searches are brought up. Today i learned about how wikipedia is not always a trust worthy site because anyone can change whats on there. So the best way to look something up is using bratanica the Encyclopedia.
