Nettrekker vs. Google

Nettrekker:
I had to use a different search phrase to get results.
I got results that didnt match with my topic.
It was harder to get good articles that match the topic.

Google:
I had to change the search phrase to get to my topic.
Google was easier to find information on my topic.
It took longer to get accurate information on the topic.

Over all I thought that google would be better to use if I needed good information on my topic. If i needed information faster, i would go to nettrekker because it took a little less to find information on my topic but i had to change the search phrase.

I am doing pretty good finding all of my information for my research topic. You can tell that the opposing viewpoints was my favorite site for finding everything. The other two sites were not my favorite for finding everything. If it were my choice i would rather use google than any of these other sites, it isnt as easy as just using google.

Does football help build muscle strength and help with losing weight? I believe that all of the hard work while playing football makes you lose weight and gain muscle strength. Football is an exciting and intense game of combat and domination, to play the game you have to be fit and ready to take some hits. The preformance of the athlete depends on the conditioning they go through.

On the tree octopus site i think that the website is not valid because the pictures, you can easily tell that they are either photoshoped or fake. Also octopuses cannot live out of the water because they have to breathe under water, thier food is also in the water.

On the Scorcher website i thought that the site was not valid because it is a part of a movie from another movie called Tropic Thunder. Also the movie with the site was called scorcher six and there are no prequels to that movie. i looked in a movie site and it had no history with other scor her movies.

The zombie attack site i thought wasnt real because it was an article made on april fools day for an april fools joke. but it is a valid site.

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Tourism-g58545-La_Conner_Washington-Vacations.html

I chose this site because it tells the visiters of the site fun things you can do while in laconner, it also dosent show why a person shouldnt go there.

http://www.experiencewa.com/business-listing.aspx?id=26613

I chose this other site for basically the same reasons but this one suggests where to go and it also shows the reader a map for them to get to places without getting lost.

http://www.gonorthwest.com/washington/northwest/la-conner/La-Conner.htm

I like this site because it shows all of the attractions, accomodations, activities, and food and beverage in laconner. It also has information of the antiques, art galleries, and the museums.

I chose this picture of food because it is a big part of the high school experience, I need to eat healthy or else I would be sluggish in school and sluggish in football.

what i did today

Today i blogged about my project on mount baker for washington state history and i blogged about what i did today.

imformation gathered

Some of the things that I have gathered from Mr. Fatz's class is that mount baker is awfully small compared to some of the other mountains in washington and canada. Also I gathered some information on the size of mount baker and how many people visit the mountain in the winter. My interview still hasnt come in, i am doing it by e-mail. But the site said that they would reply in 2-3 buisness days.

In Research Tech I want to learn a better search site to find information from, and I also want to learn a faster, easier, and more accurate way of typing.
