RJA #7a: Internet Research Tools–
Personally, before this class I simply used google and text books from the library to find what I needed. I like google because it brings up so many different options, however sometimes the search is completely not what I wanted and I have to go back to more pages and revamp my search. This class has helped me expand so much when it comes to finding legit information in so many places. I really like my delicious account because sometimes when I try to go back to find the original site, it's not there. I can also put tags on my bookmarks that help me to remember exactly what the article was talking about.


RJA #7b: Internet Research Tool Test–
I searched incywincy.com. I searched for the keywords Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, I did my search on Ocotber 5th, 2009. There were 10,525 hits on this topic alone. The relevance of my hits was pretty much a 4 or 5, they were very informative.

RJA #7c: Field Research Plan–
For my field research, I am goiong to interview my Grandpa who just returned from his WW2 reunion and his friend who is a Halocaust survivor. I plan to do this within the next two weeks with my grandpa, as for his friend, I have yet to set up the interview. I want to ask them what it felt like to know that America was attacked, and how he felt about being drafted. I also want to ask him what civillian life was like in Europe.
