OMG!
I ate too much...My mom and my aunts do not understand the words NO, THANKS - NO, I'M FINE - THAT'S ENOUGH! - I'M BLOWING UP!

BTW,I just want to post a link to an interesting .pdf on 'personal learning environment'. I found it using Google Scholar and I'm going to analyse it using what we've learned on reliability. I'm going to bookmark it too.

Have a nice day!

Googling here and there!

Hello all,

I want to add something to my previous post about sources.
Sources are all about using the proper searching tools and evaluating. So, what about something that help you to join the two aspects?
I'm talking about fantastic tools that enable you to both search and evaluate at the same time. These tools help you to limit your search among data and information that have been already published; therefore, you can trust more on what you're reading...and half of the job is done!

These tools are:

- Google Books, a search engine that provides pieces of books from libraries and publishers worldwide; it works with tags;

- Google Scholar, a search engine that provides sholarly writings, such as theses and academic articles; it works with tags.

Another interesting tool from Google is Google Blogs. It works with tags and it searches for blogs on the World Wide Web. Google Blogs is similat to Technorati, except for the fact that the latter not only works as a search engine for blogs, but also provides info, stats and researches on the blogosphere as a whole.

So, let's surf guys!

Bye
