The best example is newspaper articles - it'd be nightmare to find something with Google, especially if there is no free access to the content; then databases become a real salvation. However, a successful researcher is equally comfortable with a variety of info sources which only comes with experience - with allowing oneself time to learn, play, discover etc - and to enjoy all of it ))Iharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218871831896287342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860377310233139726.post-35567411523646562312009-10-07T08:51:41.358-07:002009-10-07T08:51:41.358-07:00I have had technology forced upon me in a fashion ...I have had technology forced upon me in a fashion and for the most part I try to embrace it wholeheartedly. I have never been any good with technology so when I do get to grips with and master gadgets and e-resources I celebrate! I am happiest with a pen and paper and a book, but I am warming to the idea of databases, e-resources and the internet as a form of media for research - particularly in light of the lit review which we're doing for you, Ihar. You never know, if my success keeps on happening, I could become a bona fide champion in support of e-learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860377310233139726.post-12259674556324076612009-10-06T16:21:09.363-07:002009-10-06T16:21:09.363-07:00That's interesting )) when I was making notes ...That's interesting )) when I was making notes for the tomorrow's class, I took a pen and sheet of paper. You are right, there is no point in loosing what's actually still can serve us well. Pen and paper are like books - sometimes they are the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to find what we are looking for.Iharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218871831896287342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860377310233139726.post-21728910213136703592009-10-06T14:58:16.745-07:002009-10-06T14:58:16.745-07:00I am keen to try new gadgets for acessing, storing...I am keen to try new gadgets for acessing, storing and processing data. I am a techie kind of person and I love to learn about new gadgets and gizmo's. Whilst some do make life easier (like my IPAQ for my shopping lists) and some just hinder (can't think of one at the moment!!) I do find it important that the 'old' methods should not be lost.....left behind maybe, but never forgotten. We should keep in mind and never disregard the pen, paper, calculator and books that many have replaced with computers, blackberries, spreadsheets, IPOD apps and e-resource.<br /><br />:o)Katjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572686456511596840noreply@blogger.com
