I didn't know about mapping the website before this activity. The search engines are vital to the research process. I started using the computer in my freshman year. I didn't know anthing about computers then. My research process began with following instructions up to this point. Wikipedia was a major source of search engines for me. I don't know how credible they are, but they are an informative resource. It really depends on the category or level of information that is needed before you know which search engine you need. Needless to say, I'm a rookie at computers and I didn't know anything about this mapping process.
I will be able to utilize this information on mapping in the future. Education technology is helpful as I continue as a student. My teachers are using this form of education to the full extent. If I intend to receive all of the information and lesson that are being conveyed, I have to beware of how the technology works. I plan to use this technology as a teacher, also. I want my students to get the full benefit of what mapping and the whole computer technology has to offer. Students are familiar with the fundamentals of computers. When they are taught how to explore through the efficient benefits
of what the technology of computers have to offer, using the computer for what they need will be awesome.
In conclusion, mapping is really resourceful. The amount of references, contacts made, and the history of the website is needed information. It gives a good reference on the site. Before you put too much trust in anything, it helps to know a little bit about it. Students are majoring in different subjects tha require a lot of detailed information, and mapping will give a student what the instructor is looking for.
It is good that you are learning so much about computers. Computer skills are definitely in high demand and am sure you will eventually become a pro at using them. You mentioned using Wikipedia, I have always been told by my teachers to not use it for research because anyone can upload information on it and its is not all reliable. I would advise you to research it more if you want to find out more about its credibility.
ReplyDeleteI also see the need for mapping websites in my future educational career. As you mentioned, the students are going to benefit and I also feel they will learn more. Again, I wish you look with learning how to use the computer. Just keep practicing and you'll have it down in no time.

I was in the same position as you were going into High School. I agree that mapping is resourceful. I believe that every student should be informed because of the fact that they will be majoring in more detailed subjects. I am excited to see where mapping and other computer knowledge takes our students in the future!
