Saturday Reflections (Part II)
Saturday, March 10, 2007
This week I concentrated on reading for this unit rather than completing the tasks for Module 2.
The Complete Reference: Internet (2nd edition) by Margaret Levine Young has been a great resource for learning more about the Internet. This week I read chapters 5 to 10 and got a deeper understanding of Email, and Email lists. The chapter on Email lists was particularly interesting as I've never joined an email list before.
The reading for Module 2 was all about communicating over the Internet - I felt like it broadly covered 3 topics

- Netiquette
- Security
- Organisation
Netiquette includes making sure you have written a descriptive subject line, using quoting wisely, basic formatting to make the message readable and checking before sending attachments.
Security is making sure you are aware of the security risks when downloading unknown or forwarded attachments.
Organisation is an important part of using email for quick communication. If you have a sorting system (filtering or folders) in place you will be able to find your information easily and avoid wasting time.
