Today’s session: 2nd day of the workshop

We did 4 types of activities:

1.      We worked on the blog, continuing where we left the previous day (23.03.2015). the activity based on formatting the blog in terms of posting, bookmarking, editing, putting comments, traffic sources, etc

2.      We practiced the journalistic research on the Internet. The emphasis was based on search strategies using the various search tools. The facilitator emphasized that internet is not the panacea for sourcing all information. More ways have to be employed in which one can still use direct interviews, photos, videos, traditional sources like books etc in order to get deeper information.

3.      We did the search exercises using the above search strategies. We searched different information by phrasing words using the Google search engine.

4.      We began practicing the story writing approaches that have been taught by using different information from various websites. The facilitator provided 3 topics to be well searched and later develop to a well written story

Two things I liked most:  Formatting of the blog and the search strategies. These have added my expertise in using the web

Generally, everything looked good and important

I have learnt a lot in  today’s workshop session
