reflection for day 6

For the first half of the day,
we had to do a report!

We had to evaluate one of the internet resource that we have chosen.
At first, i chose ezinearticles but i decided to change to http://www.youthaidscoalition.org/
as it is more focused to my topic on AIDS and HIV.

We have to evaluate it based on 8 factors -
purpose, coverage, authority, accuracy, currency, accessibility, presentation and arrangement and usability.
I find that doing this report is easier than the previous report,
as it is straight forward
and we have a template to guide us in writing the report.
I didn't manage to finish the report,
but i was quite pleased at the amount of work that i managed to do in a couple of hours.

After lunch, we were told to do an activity called "My Dream Holiday".
We had to blog about where our dream holiday would be.

I chose Austria!
I watched "The sound of music" many times since i was a kid,
and i've always wanted to go to the country
where they filmed the show,
as the nature there is simply breathtaking!

Last year, i had to do a research on Austria for a project,
and i found out that The sound of music was filmed there.
I felt amazed while looking at photos of Austria,
and i want to see it with my own eyes!

We also had to state which evaluation criteria we had used
to eveluate the website that we used
to find information about our dream holiday.

For me, i used the evaluation criteria
as i want to know the latest news
and information about the country.

Lastly, we formed grps and we had a discussion on youtube.
We had to write the good and bad points of youtube, and the future of youtube.
After 5 mins, we will change groups and will contribute more ideas.
At the end of the activity,
each group had a long list of ideas!

Throught this activity,
i realised that youtube has many good points,
but bad points as well.
I think that youtube will continue to grow,
and we will keep using youtube in the future.
