I was impressed by the Google's search functions/features because by just typing in the keywords of the thing we want to find, we will be able to get lots of result from google and with that, it make my research more convenient and easy. Not only will it make me do my research more efficient, it also let me get to know other thing that relates to my topic. And also today i have learn a way to search and getting more relevant links/sites. [Eg.if i want to do research on effect of youth gambling, i will type (impact OR effect*) AND (gambling problem*) AND (youth OR teenager*) ].
Today afternoon i also went online to search on forum which talks about youth gambling. After reading the post, i reply it and also put some thoughts of mine. I find that forum is also useful for my research because in forum, people might share their personal information or put some article or news of the topic to the forum and by doing so, we will be able to know more of the topic which is youth gambling.Not only that, today we also do citation and bibliography. It is important to do so in order to acknowledge the source of information and respect the author
As for my blog,it is my first blog and therefore i do not know anything about it, but in EIR i learnt to create a blog and also inserting site feeds to my blog. With the site feeds it is much easier in a way that i do not have to remember their blogs link, i will just have to click the site feeds and i am able to view what they have done to their blogs and can comment to it.
The best part i like about collaborating on Wiki with other students on the same research topic is that by adding more information on the Wiki, people will have a even more fully detailed on the topic and able to get more of their attention on this and try to improve the situation by helping the people around them...
