Journal - Week 2

This week was an eventful one both with my personal life and also with my online class Research for the 21st Century. I started off thinking about what kind of topic that I would like to research. I chose a few that sounded somewhat interesting to me and I researched them using Internet Public library and also the Librarian’s Internet Index and then also completed the assignment The Web as a Research Tool. I found it was better to put more than one word in the search bar to get the article that I needed. Next I was very nervous as I created this blog. I was sure I was going to need help from my husband, but was happy to find out that it was really very simple. When it came time to submitting a topic proposal to the instructor I decided to choose a total different topic then I had originally researched. I felt more passionate about this topic, more connected to it, and found it much more interesting. I am excited to explore my topic in greater detail down the road. All in all this week was an intense one with lots of work, but a very good learning experience.
