Week 4

For week four I started on the "How I Know Part 1" assignment. I searched all over the web for the origin of Canuck. I'm not one hundred percent sure on if the origin is actually form a comic book characters name but it was the only answer that came up multiply times. For Part 2 of "How I Know" was kind of fun. People often don't sit there and think about how we know the things we know and why. So this assignment gave everyone the chance to sit there and think about how we actually know what we know. I realized that I know everything i know just from living life. If I didn't go to school, go outside, go shopping, go to work etc. there would be thousands of thing I didn't know.



Doing the "Research Plan" i think, helped out a lot when it comes to our topics. I was able to see how my final project might turn out, and how i need to look for some more information in certain sections of my topic. I was also very interested in the video we had to watch for the "Selecting Information Sources" assignment. I never really realized how important events get out into the news world so quickly. But its true about how everything first gets put on the web a.s.a.p. and then hours later or the next day its all over the television etc. I never sat there and actually thought about it before.
