Part 2


    1. Synthesis: How can effective google searching ease finding information in the internet?



It will be easier for the internet users to have the most accurate results if they know the effective techniques on google searching. Moreover, having multiple sources can result to clearer findings and investigations about the subject matter. The user can view the subject with diverse perspectives.


Synthesis: Which feature will be the most useful in your field?


I think the google search tips and blogging will definitely help me in my field. As of now, I have a course entitled DEVC11 or Mass Media Writing. It consists of the fundamentals about writing on different mediums such as tv, radio, print, and web. Blogging will be useful enough to be an exercise for writing on the internet because it's about sharing my random thoughts, photos, etc. On the other hand, the google search will be a good source of information. According to our lecturer in DEVC11, there are different ways to gather data. It may be through an interview, poll/survey, readings (from books, articles in newspapers), blogs and online articles.




That's all I can say. Thank you for reading my answers :)
