this week is e-learing week!! that means we do not need to attend lesson!! =]
but we need to do some work though.. haha.. this week we need to use wiki. wiki is like a place where all the people in that community share their experience with each other just like online chatting.

we go into the group that was form last time and created an account under our names. after that we were assigned different task and each of us do our own part. as for me, i research on newspaper article found online regarding the topic on development of alcoholism among youths.

its quite interesting to use wiki and i will try to know more about it after serveal use in the future.

this week is doing the same things as last week. we have to evaluate the other resource that was found last week. based on the criteria given in the template.

website: OPHA
the aim of this website is to provide education opportunities and up to date information in public health. the promote their campaign of youth and alcohol. they wanted to reduce youth age between 15-18 to drink alcohol. there are also links to other web pages regarding this topic in the blog links. the information should be accurate because public health professionals, community health professionals, grassroots organizations and individual have collaborated together with the OPHA to speak out and be heard by politicians and government policy makers on issues that affect the health of Ontarians. under the conference links, there are news whih are updated almost daily with their lastest news. the layout if the website is neatly arranged and presented and there is a site map for easier navigation. overall i feel that it is a not bad website.

this week we need to form a group and discuss about the choosen topic. so we form into groups and discuss which topic to do. after some time my group decided to do "Developments of alcoholism amoung youths." before we start off with the research, we have decided to use some the keywords like "Development of alcoholism in youths" , "alcohol abuse" and "underage drinking" etc.

next we have to do individual work and use one of the website and evaluate it based on the 7 criteria - purpose, coverage, authority, accuracy, currency, accessibility, presentation & arrangement.

website: Stop Underage Drinking
this website gets information from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), it is jointly supported by many different departments of agencies in the country therefore the inforamtion given should be accurate. there have many information about youth that are underage started drinking. the purpose of the website is about educating people about underage drinking and ideas to combat with this issue. there is an newsroom section where news are updated daily to keep users updated with the lastest information. the layout of the site is nice and can be navigated easily without any problem. they also provide links to others website on the topic of underage drinking. overall i feel that this website is good!~
