Session 1001(1): My first literature and source evaluation

The article I have chosen is Foust, R.Y. (2007)- Techno- Klutz Meets the Blogs. Library Media Connection 2007, Pages 56- 58.

Available on-line at http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdf?vid=4&hid=102&sid=3d2401e8-4394-4016-b22a-d7a3a8f1018e%40sessionmgr108.

The blog is written by a lady who is technologically challenged and finds it extremely difficult to use the computer in general. She has no idea what the Internet is and what e-mails are. She asked her colleagued at work for some help to start up with things and this way they introduced her into using a blog. Using this blog she has learnt so many new things especially how to use the world wide web which is essential. A lot of people may think that it is easy to use but for some people in the older generation it maybe a little bit more difficult.

She then begins to define a blog and this is what she came up with ” A blog allows people around the world access to your musings and the ability to add their own. Your musings can become a catalyst to discussion with anyone, anywhere, who has access to a computer.”

 Froust then begins to give some positives and negatives regarding the topic. She closes up by talking about blogs in schools.
