RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned

This Class taught me a ton. Mainly what I got from this class is really utilizing the resources that we have available to us. I never knew how many great tools we could find to not only make our research easier for us but also to make our research more crediable. I have already showed my family that is still in school some of the ways you can really use the internet to get a lot of good sources. In my future school work I will now be able to find information I need on just about any topic with what we have learned. My favorite part of the class was all the neat tools on the internet to get information on our paper or subject.
