Evernote


I thought that Evernote is very useful.  By clipping the source, I can find it faster and easier, and can understand the source more.  More over, when we just clip the brief article, we can remember wht was the source about. Out of all kinds of features,  I think I would mose likely to use Bookmark since I need to look for tons of sources in the internet.

Secondly C.R.A.P stands for Contrast, Repetition, Alignments, Proximity, and it's an acronym for the elements comprising bad design. For Contrast, we need to malr all of the page elements such as tyoe, colour and size same. Repetition helps develop the organization and strengthen the unity of a page. Repeating visual elements develops the design. Every element should have some visual connection with another element on the page, and it creates a consistent and sophisticated alignment. Related items should be grouped, because their proximity reinforces their information, and their visual unity reduces clutter.

For my final project, I7m going ti write about SNS. Nowadays people are using many kinds of SNS for different needs. Some proplr are using SNS by pritending to be other person, not themselves. Why does it happen and what do the want to do? I want to reseatch about it.

Homework


For our first homework, "List of Church of England dioceses" was FA in Wikipedia.
It was really hard to find it!!! I found that it is quite difficult to find reliable article in Wikipedia.

Schaefer, Cora. Personal Networks on Social Network Sites (SNS): Context and Personality Influences. Saarbrücken: Suedwestdeutscher Verlag, 2008. Print.
“Line Applies to TSE for IPO That Could See Value Exceed ¥1 Trillion.” The Japan Times Online 15 July 2014. Web. 15 Oct. 2014.

For our socond homework, I'm kind of got used to using zotero, but i sometimes don't understand where can I correct. Work cited for book is quite anderstandable, but not for newspaper. I need to study about it more.

Library Database Lecture


Hi!

It was our second time for the Library Database Lecture!

By writing a lot of essays during this and last semester, I found it really difficult to find some sources. I was not sure where I can bring sources from since there are too much place to find them, and I was not sure if those information were true fact. By using database that I learned in this lecture, I can find many facts that are reliable and don’t need to get confused by the false fact that are exist in the Internet.

Moreover, using database is a great short cut to write citation! I’m really confused with way of writing citation. Database is wonderful since I can find information to put in the works cited! I was very surprised with Zotero before, but I was also surprised at this too! I hope that I can use these tools fluently someday so that I could write good research writing next semester.
