Using the different search terms we covered in class can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to find meaningful results from search engines.
We should be better evaluators of information and PROMPT, the tool developed by the Open University is very useful at quickly assessing information we find.
Presentation - How the message is being communicated, is it easy to navigate and understand
Relevance - Are the results we are getting relevant to our information need (and what can we do)
Objectivity - Is any argument balanced or bias? Is it giving us a chance to decide
Method - How did they go about getting data/info for their information
Provenance - What are the credentials of the information's authors
Timeliness - Is the information up to date? Does it need to be? In IT the answer is normally yes.
We also looked at the < span > and < div > tags for structuring and partitioning our document as a precursor to CSS formatting.

I think you must have done the span div stuff first thing on Sat morning when I was late? I'll have a go at the span div exercise in the presentation, tonight. Perhaps, if I get stuck, we could spend 5 mins going through it on Weds??
Sure that's no problem. It will get covered in the recap anywhoo
I was there and I must admit it wasn't totally sure what they did, or more essentially why...I'd be glad of a recap also.
