On Tuesday Amanda brought up the really good question of
whether media is better than print or is print better than media. The answer to
that question is neither. It all depends on where the information comes from
and whether the source is reliable or not. She told us that if you are looking
for people’s opinion and that sort about breaking news, the best places to look
are social networks. Most social networks such as twitter and tumblr have very
easy research links so you are able to look up a certain topic fairly quickly. Along
with social networks, Amanda also showed us the link to the website Opposing
Views, which has people opinions controversial topics around the world. The website
it really helpful because it publishes the information in certain ways such as
pod casts, pictures, and articles. This website it super convenient because it
even has citations for all the pictures that they use which can be hard to do
yourself. On Thursday Bonnie went over the article that we had to discuss for our
project. She asked a very meaningful topic of whether we should allow Google to
be our brain? Personally I don’t think there is anything wrong with relying on
technology so much because it is such a big part of our culture and it’s not
going anywhere any time soon. But that’s just my opinion; others may feel
differently. I think the information we learned this week, along with everything
we have learned during the duration of this class has been really enlightening,
and I think that I hadn’t taken this class I wouldn’t have been able to adjust
to the course work that we get in college. I think my experience and my grades
will be better because of everything this class has taught me.
Im happy she told us that we could use social medial websites as sources, because Im constantly on them so why not use them. I agree about your grades being better because if it was not for this class I would have no I deal about all the resources that are available to us.
