Practical 8&9
Briefly reflect on lessons learnt from this practical:
a. Update your blog with magical pictures of your Dream Holiday destinations
b. Which evaluation criteria did you used to evaluate the multimedia websites for your dream holiday? Why?
c. Why did you choose to go to your Dream Holiday destination.
The Maldives is the smallest Asian country in terms of both population and area; it is the smallest predominantly Muslim nation in the world. With two meters from sea level, it is also the country with the lowest highest point in the world. Maldives is a very beautiful place, and it is far from city. It has fantastic coast line and sea is so wonderful.

Practical 7
Briefly reflect on lessons learnt from this practical:
a. Which criteria did you use to evaluate talkingcock.com? Why did you choose this criteria?
http://www.talkingcock.com should be able to sustain its site as it is quite an interesting site to relax. The postings are not meant to be taken seriously, just for entertainment. This kind of joking sites will definitely sustain as there should be quite a lot of people going to this kind of sites to have a laugh.
As a foreigner studying in Singapore, I will feel very weird as I do not know about most of the words used in the web page and need to go to the dictionary in the site to find their meanings, this will be very troublesome as reading a single page.
I would choose purpose to evaluate http://www.talkingcock.com/. As purpose is the most important thing when I want to know about usefulness of the site, since the site is just a site for jokes, I won’t be taking it seriously neither will I use it as useful information.
b. How did you feel about participating in the role plays?
YouTube plays a very small role in my life as the quality of the video is not that satisfying, also I seldom go to YouTube as I only watch videos that are recommended to me, what’s more because of the copyright issues most videos can't be found on YouTube.I will be just fine without YouTube as it does not affect me much.YouTube videos can be used for research purpose when they are accurate and up to date information.

Practical 6
a. Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?
Meta search engine is a good way of finding popular sites that most people visit, as most of them are rank according to popularity. If the research topic is hot, meta search engine is definitely the best search engine to do research on.
Subject directory is a good way of finding information of certain subject only, it filters out all the unrelated sites that are unrelated to the search. Researching using subject directory is definitely useful to find certain related topic.
b. Will you use the invisible web (databases) for research in your own respective Diplomas? Why?

Practical 3
a. Were you impressed by Google’s search functions/features? Why?
I was impressed by Google's search function and features. It's because Google is able to give me the most accurate information in shortest time. And it also provide a lot of ralevent information for me to choose.
b.How do you feel about participation in discussion forum? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?
When I participate in discussiong forum, I feel that everyone's knowledge is very limited, when alot of people think together, there is nothing we can't solve. It is very helpful for my research. I do feel anxious about talking that I don't know.
c.Why must you do citation and bibliography?
Because those information is not orignal, but capture from the Internet, I need to do citation and bibliography to state that it is not orignal.
