Well its time Again

Hey miss me... Well its time again to blog about my EIR Reflections. Second week of EIR was interesting as i learn about the use of different Internet search facilities.I learn on where and how to do research on my given topic.Different websites have various ways on how they interpret their information. One such example is wikipedia. Usually when i do my research on any given topic, the first place i go is wikipedia because its fast and reliable. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia though some of the sources in there is questionable as anybody can just sign up and put in their input .So based on what i learn wikepedia may not be so reliable as i  had thought.

They are various internet resources, such examples include blogs,online forums, online newspaper, Database and www sites. Each of them is unique. This would would help me in writing a paper on my given topic. My initial topic of choice was the impact on global warming on wild life. I chose that topic as its very current and would be much easier for me to do my research but seeing that the topic was very popular and i did not want any conflict with my classmates. I decided to choose another topic instead. After much careful considerations i chose the topic on ethical implications of cloning on society.I find the topic interesting and challenging at the same time.

Doing my research on the given topic was quite challenging at first as i needed to get used to the new way of doing my research. I can't just rely on one website to do my research. I realised that organizational websites tend to contained extensive materials on the subject.Online News Magazines website have more current news articles on my given topic. Examples include such as what kind of experiments that they are working on in the cloning industry. The effect of eating a clone animal, is it safe?  News websites makes it more interesting to read as it has pictures rather then just words .Other Internet resource that i did my research on was online forums. Online forums tend to have more of people opinion on the given topic. There will be debates and some of the facts shared on the forum is sometimes valid. I cannot really consider their opinions as relevant facts but i can put it into consideration when i write my paper. Comparing the Internet resource's that i have mentioned i prefer the newspaper journals or magazines as it has current news on my given topic, but i could be wrong as i have not tried other resource's yet like online databases.

I believe by expanding my research option's on other Internet resources, it will help me in writing my paper later and as well as contributing my information in the EIR wikipedia. I will be looking forward to the next EIR CLASS!
