I thought that the presentations on Wednesday were extremely interesting. Getting introduced to those different tool including goodreads and zotera made me think about why I wasn’t aware of them before. Zotera is an amazing tool that many students would surely take advantage of if they were actually aware of what it was. It allows you to take credible information and save it instead of having to take notes for a research project. I for one hate taking notes and was very glad that I now know how to take advantage of Zotera and the other sites and programs that are available on the Internet. Doing these presentation it made me think a lot about what else the Internet may offer us that we are totally unaware of. There are so many possibilities on the Internet and it is unfortunate that many people do not take the time to search for them and essentially make their lives a lot easier. Hopefully our presentations will get the word out and some of us can tell our friends how cool the Internet really is.
Website Presentations October 4, 2007
What did you guys think about the three sites we looked at today? I really liked them. Especially Goodreads for a personal space to join others who like to read the same types of books that I enjoy. It’s the perfect place for me because I love to read. I’ve been wanting to join a book but just couldn’t find the time to do it. But this is even better because it will allow greater flexibility. The site that my group did was Zotero. An excellent one for your research projects. It’s a time saver when it comes to organizing your materials and connecting to Amazon books and the library databases. Too bad it’s only used with Fox Fire. I ‘ll definitely be checking out these sites in more dept. -Petisa
