What I Learnt- Week 2

During lab this week,  I learnt several things about internet resources. There are basically 11 different types of internet resources which can be classified into different categories such as personal, institutional, research and academic information and etc. Some examples are blogs & wikis, online forums(e.g. http://www.tech-forum.net/), e-journal &magazines and WWW sites. The different internet resources have different features and serve different purposes. Another difference is that some internet reosurces are free whereas others have restricted access.

Some of the different internet resources can be further classified into different categories. WWW sites for example, can be classified into personal, organisational and subject-based. The subject-based sites can then be classified into education, governments(e.g. http://www.gov.sg/), politics, entertainment(e.g. http://www.movieweb.com/), humanitites, history(e.g. http://www.historyforkids.org/) and so on.

The different types of internet resources will assist us in searching for different information.
