Internet as a tool in searching for information

It is now 16:30 that I am posting this comment concerning the Internet training here at BoT in Mwanza. The 3rd day started well as usual. Mr. Peik Johansson (The trainer) speaks about the internet as a tool in searching for information

Internet can actually give you almost everything that you are looking for but you real need to know what exactly are you looking for and who is giving you that information (The website).

Sometimes its not necessarily knowing who gives you the information because there are a lot of search engines like Google which gives you the websites.

Via internet you can possible find the source of information or it can be a global collection of information, it can also search for facts and background information and people or even checking facts for editors.

In an issue of global collection of information, Mr. Peik gives us a lot of website that they are very useful in searching for reliable information. Some of them I didn’t know if they exist, for example www.users.elite.net (“Hellow” in many languages). In this website you will learn how different words from different languages can be pronounced in different languages. It’s a very interesting kind of website.

But he also mentioned other international and local websites that has a lot of information and mostly news from every part of the world. For example, www.hiraan.com, www.allafrica.com, www.ipsnews.net, www.reuters.com, www.author-me.com, www.amnest.org, www.ajol.info www.africanelection.tripod.com, www.jamiiforum.com, and many other websites from Tanzanian media (Newspaper, Television and Radio Stations) that can give a lot of everyday online information.

However, Mr. Peik speaks something on The mail rules/Most important rules of email. We have been using email maybe for years now but we might don’t know the rules of the mail, you can easily find them on these webpage www.systemsarchitecture.org/mane/mailrules (Google it if you find it difficult to get).

You won’t be disappointed visiting the above websites. Try me.
