1. Learning: MY Way. By: Deanna Woo ITEC 299-02 5/16/2011

3. College: SFSU!

7. Search Engines

9. Educational Use: Many biology courses are lectures taught using PowerPoint slides, thus I can watch vodcasts of my professors instructing along with these PowerPoint slides when I study for exams.

10. Video simulations greatly increase visual ability to remember exact processes. Example: Online videos cartooning cell cycle process.

12. Educational Use: Posting video lectures.

13. Benefit: Students can make playlists of these video lectures and easily organize them on the site. Professors can queue their videos and manage them easily the same way.

15. Other popular search engines include Yahoo!, bing., and ask.com.

16. Search engines allow students to type in a keyword, phrase, or name and instantly get websites pertaining to the subject. For example, in the medical microbiology course I could type in “microbiology” in the search bar and get websites that have to do with microbiology.

17. Biology classes usually assign recent research articles on websites like PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/pubmed/) to summarize and present.

19. Example: Wikipedia.

20. Allow for independent gathering of information and usually give some sort of picture or visual for the person to see on the page of interest.

21. Wikis help the research process because they are brief and summarized giving a general idea.
