3/14

Today in class I took a completely different approach when doing my research. Usually I stick with Galileo and Academic resources. Today when doing my research I went to a database called Alt health Watch. Using this helped me out a lot. Because my topic is a more medical issue searching things in the Alt Health Watch brought things more on the health point of view.  Usually when I search for information I use danger or issues on plastic surgery but today I tried problems and plastic surgery and I got a lot of different responses. I did find new material all of the other information that I found only talked about the danger of putting foreign objects in your body but this one talks about the danger of move fat from one part of your body to the other.

3/4


I used Facebook.com, Twittwer.com and Reddit.com as my tools for today’s research. When using these tools I did find them to be helpful. When you hear social networking we usually think of ways of meeting people but today I was able to use it in a different way. I feel using the social networking sites were helpful because unlike other places that I get my information from I can see what other people find interesting about my topic and also what they find important. I personally use social networking to stay in touch with friends and family. Being an army brat requires you to meet a lot of people but the moving around also makes is hard for you to keep in touch. With social networking I am able to see and talk to people whom I have met all over the world.
