Blog♡Post - Number Fifteen

2. What did you learn? What material was new to you? What were the three most important things you learned in today's lesson/independent practice?
-Today I learned more about the search engines. Re-taking the quiz helped me a lot about remembering the search engines. When I first took the quiz I had been a little shaky and did not remember a lot of material. I did not do so well. The next day Ms. Sarles went over all the topics covered on the quiz. (Mostly the search engines). Paying attention to what she was saying helped a lot because a few moments later we retook almost the same quiz. Two of the search engines had been new to me because I did not remember learning about them the first time. Today in class I learned about the search engines, that I should always pay attention to the board because I never know when we may have a pop quiz and that search engines information may consist of images, web pages, information and other types of files.

7. What did you learn from reading someone else's blog? Did it help you write your own blog entry?
-Today I read Danielle's blog. Reading Danielle's blog made me think. In one of her blogs she let her curiosity run away with her when wondering about what IP addresses stood for. She had a valid point. Are the IP addresses chosen at random? Or do they actually mean something? This made me wonder a lot and I'm glad Danielle brought this to mind. I hope to find the answer soon.

4. What would you like to know more about the material?
-I do not understand the use in breadcrumbs. I understand that we are narrowing down our search but what is the point? I would much rather just search what I am looking for in one shot rather than breaking it down into the breadcrumbs. I think I would just rather prefer getting everything done quicker. Many people would probably enjoy breaking everything down and narrowing their searches but I personally do not. What I would like to know more about the material is who thought of the directory and breaking down the search?

4. What would you like to know more about the material?
-What I would like to know more about the material is, how to truncate a website. I was absent the day we learned how to do it and I still do not know how. It seems interesting to know how to do, so I would like to learn. I may look it up online myself or I might just ask one of my classmates to help me !

2. What did you learn? What material was new to you? What were the three most important things you learned in today's lesson/independent practice?
-What I learned in one of the lessons was that if you go the website MS. Sarles gave to us, and type in the name of the website, it converts it into the websites IP address for you. When I typed in rutgers.edu, I got the IP address. When I put the IP address into the address bar, it automatically brought me to rutgers page! I learned how to find out the IP address of websites and I also learned that by putting in the IP address it still takes me to the sight. Ms. Sarles also told us that the domain name is just an easier way to remember the site instead of remembering the IP address. That is why they create domain names! To make it easier on us to remember.

2. What did you learn? What material was new to you? What were the three most important things you learned in today's lesson/independent practice?
-What I learned in one of the lessons was about archive.org. Archive.org has got to be one of the MOST interesting things I have learned in class so far. I had no idea there had a been a website that lets you see the website when it had first been created! After I did what the assignment had told me to.. I looked up some of my personal favorite websites to check out how they had first looked. It was cool to see how drastic the change had been.

5. What questions do you still have?
-A question that still remains in my mind is, why do people bother making fake websites? Do they do this out of enjoyment or because they are truly bored? Do people make fake websites to trick other people or do they believe the information is real? I think that people do this to trick other people. They probably make fake websites so that people think they are real and will use it in their term papers and everyday studies. These people should stop because their websites are just ridiculous.

7. What did you learn from reading someone else's blog? Did it help you write your own blog entry?
-Today I also read James Verdi's blog. I learned that James has a fascination with Willy Wonka. It made me laugh. James is really funny! As I read on I learned that James like the band cold play and John Mayer. I've been friends with James for about 4 years now and I never knew these facts about him. James' blog is very nice. It helped me realize that I should make my blog posts longer and more informational.

7. What did you learn from reading someone else's blog? Did it help you write your own blog entry?
-Today, I read Kris Lopez's blog. I learned that Kris REALLY likes cars. Not just any car but he's pretty much amazed by Lamborghini's. The way he speaks about them, shows that Kris is really passionate about cars! It kind of helped me see that I should write about things that I am also really passionate about. It's nice to see how others can love something so much.

1. What did you already know of the material presented in the lesson?
-In todays lesson, we learned if we type quotations around a word or phrase, the search engine automatically gives us a website having to do with the word or phrase we put in quotations. I had heard that somewhere before but I didn't have the in depth understanding of it until class. What I didn't know was that if you enter for example "UK" you will receive a website from that country. I did not know much about todays lesson but have heard it somewhere in the past.

4.What would you like to know more about the material?

-I would like to know why symbols are used for personal websites. Instead of using ~ or % for personal websites why isn't a code using letters or numbers used? I am not interested in learning more about the URLS but I am just curious as to why the symbols are used. I do not think symbols should be used for anything unless they are needed. I do not think they are needed for websites.

3.What did you understand most/least about today's lesson and independent practice?
-What I had understood the most today was the backward link. Every site has a backward link. When looking for the backward link, it navigates you to the same site, when in reality you're looking for a different site. The site can either contain real information or it can be fake. It is very tricky.

3. What did you understand most/least about today's lesson and independent practice?
-I learned that not all the websites provided are real! We learned to use the term REAL to help us find out if the website is indeed "real". REAL stands for Read the URL, Examine the content, Ask about the author & Look at the links. When using REAL, we figure out if the website is indeed "real" or if it is a fake one. Many websites pay google to be at the top of the search, when it is not even a legitimate website. Using REAL helps us catch the fake ones and stop the use of them!
