Practical 2

This practical requires me to group resources into different types of website such as subject based, personal and organization. After doing this practical, I realized that the use of keywords will help to reduce the number of results produced. It will also produce more relevant results as compared to using the topic to perform the search.

This practical also allows me to get to know more about the 3 types of websites. Subject based website provides factual information about the topic. Personal website is used by individuals to provide their personal opinion regarding the topic. It does not contain factual information unlike subject based website. Organizational website provides a wide range of information about the topic and also contains links to other related websites.

Information placed on personal websites may not be as useful and reliable as compared to subject based as it contains personal thoughts, not facts.
