After a semester of study, I learned how to find information quickly and efficiently online, how to choose the useful data in much information. In the second life, I make some friends in other countries, and I have go to the place where I cannot go in truth life, especially my dream holiday place. I think the mostimportant lessonispractical8 & 9,becausethis lesson,I learned how tonot onlycheck thewebsiteof theprofessional,more importantly,doingthe blog, Ican enjoythe appreciation ofthe Maldives- mydreamdestination.It makes mefeelveryhappy.
My dream destination is the Maldives, where there is clear water, fine white sandy beaches, pleasant scenery, where you can enjoy the relax. Maldives is a fantastic tourist destination, in today's society, everyone worked hard every day in the busy, we pressure students to learn, adults with work pressure, I prefer a place where you can relax yourself, this could make me energy more abundant, in the future I can work more dynamic, first seen in the introduction to the Maldives when I was deeply fascinated, especially Moofushi island, Beas Island and Paradise Island , are my dream destination. Where you can enjoy the beautiful island scenery, the most important thing is to enjoy diving underwater scenery, which are in the city are invisible.
a.Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?
From some ways yes, because all of the Research Databases Research result can be classified, and then classify all the good results into the database, so our search is very helpful, especially for our topic , this allows us to not have many answers in the filter, as long as we choose in the database we need a few branches, but in some ways not, because the search of a purpose would be more convenient, but no purpose search of little help, some people find they need not determine what it is, so they can not be used this way, because in that case in terms of his efficiency will be lower, they need to use search engines search for answers, or use meta-search or subject directories, so they can be faster in terms of clear objectives, and then use the research databases will be more convenient.
b.Name ONE database which you will use for your research topic. Why?
For my topic, i will choose Global Issues in Context (GIC), because this database insights and information on issues such as business and economy, environment and climate change, and there are environmental issues including global, and they will receive a new newspaper headline to summarize, this could make me faster to find what I wanted. But in practice, I will use subject directory to search for other answers to help me improve my topic.
c.Name ONE more database which you will use for your course. How will you use this database for your course?
For my course, i will choose ProQuest Science & Sociology, because there included engineering, although EBSCOhost Databases also has included engineering, but because of EBSCOhost Databases category too, the search would be more messy, we learn that intelligent building technology. These things are not in many categories, even if there is a very one-sided, so I need to use the subject directory to help me found the useful information on my course.
meta-search engine or subject directory is more effective in helping you find resources related to your research topic, because the two search engines have classified the answer. So whenever we enter the key words, these two search engines will be classified as good search results are displayed, that would be more convenient to our screening. If only the search engines rather than meta-search engine or subject directory, but the answer listed, and not classified, so the result is chaos, chaos we need to choose their answer in the result is a very troublesome work , meta-search engine and subject directory is not the same way, meta-search engine without their own search engine, which search other search engines is to answer, then the answer is classified, but is its own subject directory search engine, and the answers have been classified as completed, so the meta-search engine or subject directory can help us find what we want faster results.
In secondlife in, e-shopping, there are two modes, the first purchase in the game, you can choose the game you like, such as clothes, what clothes you like you can try, that may be direct purchase, the second is to purchase web page, try the model on the page look, if you think fit to direct purchase. I prefer to buy a web page, because the purchase of a web page, the selection would be more convenient, but in the game, everything you need to buy the place to go before they can buy. Game shopping and actual shopping there are many similarities where, first of all, the game a bit like shopping in the actual selling, you need to store the selection, and then will decide whether to buy, but what the game can not be brought to reality. . . Second, the game in a Web page and e-shopping e-shopping, like reality, is the way the model can only see from the photo model to determine whether to buy, but the same. . . What game is a game, not to the reality. But the game's page to buy and practical E-SHOPPING still have to write different, because the in-game E-shopping things go wrong, as long as you selected it will be as such, but the reality of e-shopping, may be due to the owner of the mistake or something else, resulting in receipt of things and buy things there are gaps, this is the reality of e-shopping inadequate.

Why do you think there is a need for researchers to know the different purposes of websites? Explain using examples of websites you often visit or those which you have encountered while researching on your research topic.
In my opinion , for a researcher , know the different purposes of websites is very important , because only you know the purposes of websites , then you can know if it useful for you or not . Such as my topic "Discuss the causes and effects of Tsunamis on Society" , when i do the research , i found some website just do so introduce of Tsunamis on Society , such as http://solidearth.jpl.nasa.gov/PAGES/old_site/tsun03.html , but some website has very good detailed description such as http://www.drgeorgepc.com/TsunamiImpactSociety.html , it is very important for us , we should find the website which has more information if we want get more information about our topic , and different purposes of websites may give us different information , for some advertising website , we can not get useful information , so know the purposes of websites is very important for a researcher .
2. Difference between shopping websites(Amazon.com) and advocacy website(SPCA)
It has many differentias 1st : The existence is different , shopping websites are sales things , it like a supermarket , such as amazon , it is a shopping website , it sales many different things , but advocacy websites are different they want disseminate some informations , such as SPCA it disseminate Information on animal protection.
2nd : The purposes are different , shopping website is a profitable website the purposes of the website is go for profit , such as amazon , it provide a trading area , and charge fees for every trading , but advocacy website is different , it is non-profit website , such as SPCA it just a dissemination website , the purposes of the website is to tell people protect animal and take care of animals
3rd : The categorys are different , shopping websites must be a organisational website , because every day the website has many tradings , and routing maintenances so for one persone can not do every thing , so it must be a organisational website. But advocacy website can be personal and also can be organisational.\ 3. Explain the most meaningful lesson you had learnt from Practical 1&2.
From Practical 1&2 , i learnt how to searching information purposeful , and how to classify the websites , then i can get the useful information faster and accurate.
