Week 5 Reflection

     My top sources of information compare with those of the adult population somewhat
similarly. However, I tend to use the Internet more than any other media source to access
information whereas other adults use Newspapers or listen to the radio. I use the Internet as a
way of getting all information that I may be looking for. In comparison to when others use the
Internet, such as looking for jobs or a good restaurant, I use the Internet to find information about
political news, school related activities, music, and entertainment. I rarely use Newspapers or
the radio to find out information pertaining to the media.

Internet

      Other students tend to use the Internet to find their information as well. However, unlike
me, other students may also listen to the radio more often and find out other information about
media, traffic, and political news. Some might also watch television in order to find information
out as well, whereas I tend to only use the Internet to find out any information I am curious
about.
     
     Instructional and curriculum implications of widely available online information sources
may consist of an Internet source to find information pertaining to educational purposes. For
example, for students finding information such as this can be found on a school website. Other
curricular information may also be found on textbook websites online.
