Day 1+2

Day1

First day of the VT CDS we were brief on the portfolio that we are to submit at the end of the CDS and to select a topic from a list that we had to do research base on. After that we are suppose to research one it on the internet for one of each internet resources which includes a disscusion forum,www. site and a magazine or journal entry on the topic.
I chose to the topic on impacts of online gaming on teens. I use google to search for the topics but there are very few topics that are dicectly related. Other than that the whole lesson was spend mostly on hunting down the correct websites for my research.

http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/forum/51- online gamer forum which have a active community that discuss anything on online games.

A research on online gaming and also describe the impacts of online gaming the pros and cons of it and the general methodology.

Day2

Second day of the lesson was a follow up on what we did the day before but we have to find a personal and a organisational site for our topic instead. After that we reflect on the search activity like what search engine we used and what are the key words. For me I use google since its the best one out there and as for key words I use "Impact of online gaming on teens"

This is the new sites that I found for today

http://www.digitalcream.com.au/blog/games-parenting/online-games-good-for-teenagers/- shows all the pros of online gaming on teens. In addition I used one of the site from yesterday as a organisation site.

http://www.nickyee.com/pubs/Yee%20-%20MMORPG%20Demographics%202006.pdf- found yester day but use as a organisation site instead for the practical.

After that we compile all the information we found and cite the source using APA we learned in CMSK before passing it to our group leader to finish up the rest. Creating my very first blog was the major event for the day as most of our work will be done on this blog alone and I got a taste of using a blog for the first time.
