Saturday Reflections - ( Part VII )
Saturday, April 21, 2007
I've been busy all week working on my first assignment, the annotated bibliography of resources.
After deciding on a format ( a blog ) and finalising what content I had found, I cut it down by evaluating each Web site I had found, and finally came up with a short-list of 11 pages that I am now going to annotate.
One Web site I am sure to include is the wonderful Diigo, I cannot speak highly enough of how useful this tool is! the ability to highlight, take notes, and bookmark all over web pages and then being able to organise, tag, share or blog with your information has been fantastic - when I review my pages before writing the annotation I can 'interact' with the piece of writing by asking questions of the content (eg. I'll read "The balloon floats when filled with air" so I'll sticky note with Diigo it and say "why? note to self: find out") this helps me really evaluate and understand exactly what I am reading.
I also searched the net for pages that offer tips on writing annotations, as I find it very helpful to read 2 or 3 different ways of explaining how to do something.
