Week 2 Learning Journal Task 2

Hypertect can allow us to shape our own experience of the internet as rather than remaining static like a text where by we read it from beginning to end without going off in different directions.. The hypertexts on the internet allow us to be able to create our own experience and organisation of information through different links and connections. We choose ourselves the directions that we want to take that other peolple may not want to take. Hypertext allows us to connect to different sites quicker and easier and links us to pages that we perhaps wouldnt find or look at normally allowing us to surf and investigate the net more widely.

The only time i tend to click on hyperlinks is when i am searching on the internet for information on a particular subject for uni and i am trying to collect lots of information and clicking on the hyperlinks will lead me to more websites that may be useful to me. Normally though when i use the internet everyday i tend to just stick to the usual wesites that are familiar to me.

Helen,

I've noticed that your fellow study-group bloggers don't seem to have been commenting as frequently as they should. So perhaps it may be an idea for you to drop them an email reminding them to do this. You should be commenting on theirs too. This is part of the assessment, and will help everyone.
Your comments on hypertext are valid, it may be a good idea to show where you gained your information from, either reference a book or website. Do remember to use capital 'I' in your work.

All the best

Emma
