Friday, January 4, 2013


Welcome back!  I hope your break was restful.  What a gift to get two extra days!  Your blog post is due by Friday at midnight.  If you miss points, I will not go back and reread it :)

Here is this week's blog prompt:
  1. We watched a thirteen minute video around journalism and determining fact from fiction.  Tell me three things about this video.  Remember that your readers may not have seen the video, so be sure to provide context for your readers.
  2. What is one thing you hope to accomplish in 2013?  Be specific, and have a plan for reaching your goal. For example, I am planning on running the Madison Marathon next November.  I will follow an eighteen week training program to prepare for the race.
  3. Answer the questions from our News Forum.  They are repeated below.  Again, remember to provide context for your readers.

News Forum:  Watch the five minute video titled "Some Search Shortcuts" and answer the following questions:
  • What is the capital of Pakistan?  Using the information on the right (after performing your search) what is the most recent population for the capital of Pakistan?
  • What is the current weather in Tampa, FL?  How about in zip code 90210?  Where is zip code 90210?
  • Tell me the status of Delta flight 5432.
  • Your grandma has a bunion.  Sounds nasty.  What is a bunion?
  • What are two brand names for the drug ibuprofen?
  • go to the list of Google search features, look through and find two not used above.  Create two questions to test your friends' search skills.  Also, provide the answers for your two questions.
