Internet Studies

I haven’t been writing in this blog for a couple of weeks. We were scheduled to go on leave a few days ago and I was trying to tie loose ends and prepare many things for our trip. We went away last week and I’m still trying to get over the jetlag and continue with my course.
Just wanted to say that I’m back :)

With my essay for NET12 submitted, I turned my attention again to NET11.

Many of the resources that I am considering to use in the Annotated Bibliography for Advanced Internet Users assignment are ones that I knew beforehand. What I found interesting while I was working through this assignment is that for a couple of the subjects, I had more than enough resources. With others, I had a hard time finding resources to use. Maybe, I couldn’t decide whether they are suitable and good enough as a resource because I was new to them. Maybe my search terms were not specific enough. I don’t know which one is the case.

With the subjects I was familiar with and already knew what resources I wanted to use I had a different problem. How many should I include? The assignment asked for a minimum of two resources but did not specify a maximum. So, I thogut I could basically include all. But what if my instructor will think that I can’t judge a good resource and therefore try to play safe and include more than the necessary? Or maybe I’m just seeing things that are not there.

I wonder what my instructor will think about the resources I chose for subjects I believe are missing from the course curriculum?

We had a couple of friends coming to visit us on the island for the past week. It’s been really fun having them but also very time consuming. Waz and I are having the day off work tomorrow to recuperate but it’s also an excellent chance for me to get into my essay assignment for NET12.

I’ve tranferred all my attention to NET12 in the last few days and I’m a bit behind on my reading. Geez, there is a lot of required readings in that course. But I’ve decided that today I will review my selected resources for NET11 Resources Project and find my last few ones. Also I will start on my Design Document for NED11.

I tried to look for demographics inofrmation on photographers last night and either found none that are applicable or current or ones that cost a lot of money to get a hold off. So, I guess I will be using my own experience to decide what the target ausidence will be.

Any advice, anyone?
