For practical 3, we have to study the Internet resources that we have retrieved in Practical 2 and identify the purpose of any FOUR resources with the list of purposes listed for us. In order to identify the purposes, we have to refer to our lecture notes and learn how to access what is the purpose of the resources we are using.
Lessons Learn
Towards the end of practical 3, I have learned that each different resource have different purpose in the way they wants to communicate to their audience. Some resources even have mixture of a few purposes. I believe that it does helps me and others from searching for information online as most of the people who search for information has a purpose in mind.

For practical 4&5, we have to choose our topic base for assignment 1. Base on the topic chosen, we have to think of relevant keywords to be used to search for information regarding our assignment. After which, we are given 3 different search facilities and base on it, we have to search for 3 resources. The 3 search facilities given are Search engine, Meta search engine and Subject directory. Base of the 3 different search engine, I found a few websites from it and chose the best out of it. After that, we have to comments on the results of the different search facilities and explain the strength, weakness and difference of the 3 search facilities. As this requires quite a long duration to complete, we took 2 weeks to finish it. As for the comments, we have to refer to lecture notes before commenting on it. Upon finishing, we have to pick which search facilities best meet our searching needs and explain why.
Lessons Learn
At the end of practical 4&5, I have learned how to evaluate different search engine according to the different factors and functions given by them. As such I am able to know which search facilities will provides me with a more efficient way of searching for information base on the type of information I am searching for. In conclusion, I felt that search engine (Google) is the best among the 3 search facilities. It suits my needs of researching.

As for practical 2, we have to chose a topic and base on the topic search the Internet for 4 websites with a combination of different types e.g. personal, organization and subject-based. I used Google as my search facilities and the keywords being used by me to search for results are Impact, Integrated Resorts and Singapore’s tourism industry. This 3 key words yield better results. The major difference in the 3 type of websites is that Personal is written by the perspective of the writer writing it while organizations provide both factual and perspective information and lastly Subject based provide more factual information about the topic it is discussing on.
Lessons Learn
At the end of practical 2, I have learn that different websites belongs to different types and I have gain the knowledge of identifying the type the websites belongs to after referring to the lecture notes. This has enabled me to search for different types of website more efficiently.
Practical Prac 1
Practical 1 was the first practical we had for this module and I am still new to what is to be done and completed for this module. However we were being asked to start with pair activities which you and your partner must discuss on a topic and search internet for an example of the resources. We need to find 4 different examples belonging to different categories and compare between them, find out the differences and similarities. The 4 categories are Newsgroups and discussion list, electronic journals and magazine, multi-media source and WWW site.
The topic we chose on is sports and the aspect of it was soccer, after doing this we were asks to create blog which is completely new to me. But I had fun with it.
Lessons Learn
At the end of the practical, I have acquire new skills as this was the first time I create a blog and I have learn to know that there are different categories of website. With this I am able to search in a more efficient way as I can search base on the categories it belongs to. It helps me to save time. At the same time with the pair activities, it helps me get to work with another student in the class and get to know each other better.

This soccer website is the website that stays up with me whenever there is soccer matches and yet I have no time to watch, it shows the latest update to all soccer matches, and lately it even includes Singapore matches which doesn’t exist few months back. There will be odds around for people who bet on it but it’s useless to me since I don’t bet.

This soccer website is basically the website I use to check for soccer updates every time I go online, it has all the news of each of the soccer team. Any transfer of player or changing/ dismissing of coach will be made known in this website once it happens. All the fixture and results of each team will be shown once the match is over. You can even check for the league tables for each of the different league in the world, the players in the team and even their past years history records.
