Reflections for lesson 3

Hey people, today's lesson was comparing between (http://scholar.google.com) and (www.google.com) . Apparently,I feel that by using (www.google.com) works better for me and more useful. More resources are found and it's mostly related in additonal I'm able to search

results by the country, location and change it and able to get research from the pages from singapore with just a click

compared to (http://scholar.google.com)  it's from the whole country and not relevant to the question that I typed.Therefore, in comparison I'm impressed by google functions as it's really helpful to us when we are searching for results.

Participation in discussion forum

I have participated in the discussion forum to further communicate with the teenagers there and share and ask for their viewpoint and at the start i felt weird because it's my first time posting something there and waiting for their reply really awaiting for their reply anxiously.Following is a screenshot showing the discussion for the question that I have given: Discussion on the leisure trends among youths in Singapore....

 

Reasons we do citation and bibliography

Basically, we do citation because we want to acknowledge the source of the information by the real author and by this is like preventing people from copying and plagiarism. We must be conscious about our work and the people did this from their own opinon and hard work so I think it's important to respect them and their work so I strongly agree that citation is very important and useful.

Bibliography represents the research we have done in preparation for writing, and it offers our audience suggestions for further reading on our topic and bibliography is important as we can search and back track the things that we want in the future for easier references for efficiency and effectiveness.

Facebook Group Discussion ForumFor the facebook discussion forum that we have just done I think it's quite useful as we are actually chatting with our own classmates and from there we can hear from different kinds of viewpoints from different people though. Expressing myself behind the computer isn't a worry to me as I love to do so and I'm able to express myself freely.
This online discussion experience has it's pros and cons, compared  with traditional face-to-face in-class discussions . For the pros, we can expressed ourselves freely and not get frightened or stumbled when we say something rather than with traditional face-to-face in-class discussions. However, we won't know what are the feelings inthe text that are typed as the reader can't possibly read our mind on how are we feeling by reading and always this kind of discussion between the computer may sometimes creates fights and unhappiness because maybe the person is saying in a normal way but the reader may mistaken it and creates tension.
In conclusion,I find that this online forum is relatively useful compared to face to face as most importantly, we are able to type what we feels.

With these lesson three, I find myself becoming more interactive in using internet and socialize with people and also there's a lot of different functions and features to be learnt in google and I looked forward to the next lesson:)
