Week 2: Web searching (con’t)

Week 2 is more interesting than week 1 because I’ve got to know how to write ABCD learning objectives framework which is rather new to me and do step 1 – Describe a class for the Final Project. Though I’m pretty busy doing the assignments, I really like it. It seems that I’ve worked hard through reading and surfing the Net. There will be more work to do at the following weeks for sure, but I will try to do it the best.

The first time I’ve visited www.noodletools.com introduced by my instructor -  Robert, I got surprised about it because I didn’t know there are a variety of search engines available for  academic  or other specialized needs . Up to now, I’ve tried the following  websites and would like to introduce them to you all in case you haven’t visited them. Also, ideas about these search engines are welcome.

http://www.intute.ac.uk/search.html is my first choice. Topics are in alphabetical order which is very convenient for searchers. Go to http://www.intute.ac.uk/search.html and choose the topic we’re interested in, then click on the specific term and there will be links/appropriate materials that follow.

To know what’s happening in the world. Have a look at http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/.
In order to know someone’s biography, try http://www.biography.com/search/. In this website, you can find quick fact and related works, people and sites about that person.

I also suggest you having a glance at http://www.ask.cm/. The feeling of discovering the answer is really exciting. Try it! Secret of the world is on your click. CLICK IT!

Feel free to let me know other search engines or websites that you’re keen on.

  1. Hello Phuong-Mai

    Great reflective post. It looks like you are using a variety of search engines, which is good, You know the saying in English, don't put all of your eggs in one basket, right?
