Yesterday was a second day of
our training. Many issues were covered and it may not be possible to recall
everything. Nevertheless, I am not suggesting that I did not gain anything. I
was for example able to grasp how to link my blog with other sites of my
interest. Some of the sites I was able to link with my blog are my University’s
website, the website of VIKES, Jamii Forum, MISA Tanzania. This means that if
am working on my blog, I can easily connect to the other websites that are
already linked with my blog.
I was also able to learn how
to put a background to my block. Through this, I can be able to change the
background of my blog to suit my own interests and to make it appeal to my
followers.
Of utmost importance in our
second day of training was how to search for information or data from the
various websites. Some of the websites from which one can be able to get a vast
amount of information are like www.amazon.com,
www.ryanair.com, www.easyjet, www.yahoo.com
etc. As far as Tanzania is concerned, one can be able for example know the
population of any region or district in this country by visiting the website of
the National Bureau of Statistics.
We were also able to learn
that, when searching for information, one must exercise great care. Some of the
data found in some sites like Wikipedia cannot be trusted 100%. We were thus
advised to think first before we rush to any website. We must know the type of
information we are looking for. Having thought of all these, it can then be
easier for us to know which websites to visit for the various information we
are in need of.
One important thing as far as
internet searching is concerned is that with this internet revolution, one is
assured of access to any type of information one is in need of. You can search
for the facts, background of any issue or even search for the people. You can
as well use the internet to crosscheck facts when embarking on editing or even
check on grammar.
