My Blog #2

       
Actually I was surprised how can be some information, which I read about it, seemed to scientific fact but it was not. I thought there is a lot of misinformation in the web but they are not about natural sciences which I had my bachelor in. This week I got a good note which is going to change many things in my searching through the internet especially when I want it to look for some information about my major. There are many things that I have to recognize for verifying the credibility to the publisher or the site as I do when I look for the news, which is my interest. In addition, I am sure that I will ask my students as I did, but with new sort to be careful with searching the internet by using what I just learned about the credibility of the sites. As much as I enjoyed the new information and observations which were given in this course but I was sad for my tardiness in getting them. Moreover, students like to know and look for what we block or ask them to not get in, like some websites. But we can solve that by showing them the differences between two websites having the same topic and explain to them how that could be very difficult to see and know which one has the right information.

Delicious and Google reader are mostly helpful and time saver because the information that you would like to know about is now easily to get when you sign up in these services even If you are busy or sick you do not have to lose your time or active to get the new information. In the future, they will create more options for me in my carrier as a teacher by searching and offering  the new skills and the knowledge that I want to have.   
                                                             
In this days, I decided to use my wiki to connect my friends whom also international
 students to share our ideas, resources, help each other in different fields. In the near future, when I get back to my job in my hometown, wiki will help me to contact my co-workers for many reasons such as exchange of experiences and information. Although, wikis have some advantages but some disadvantages too, like false information, misinformation and anonymous information.

After having this experience with wiki and blogs tools, I hope that I can use the 3hd because I believe in this technology, and I think that would attract students to the lessons and make it more fun to learn.

  1. I think your wiki is an excellent idea and you've even expanded upon the original idea!
