  1. Research Journal Part 1
    Exploring Topics

    step 1: I have 4 tabs open on Internet Explorer, (i am not familiar w/ Firefox)

    step 2: Tab 4 is open to my new blogspot, "thirdschool"

    step 3: opened tab 3 to Clark Library site, and found IRIS tutorial link. (found the 'glossary' link at the bottom left of page.)

    i began 1st tutorial re: Explore Topics
    my choice for the topic will be Issac Newton (in general), and may refine that more later.
    the choice is relative to another class i have at Clark, Physical Science 101

  2. Within 'explore topicc', i like the suggestion... scan credible news sites, i had not thought about that, and IDEA (intl. debate educ. assoc.) was another new source i encountered. Collecting background info is already a technique i'm versed in, but surprised the statement that it is not the same as research, (from ttrl).
    I like the 'brainstorming' tip, and Mind Map, a friend of mine (amy) showed me this one, first term (eng comp)
    This is good, turn my topic into a "Question"

    i am copying this quote from IRIS, for my own purpose...
    "it is likely your research question might refocus or change.

    I scored 80% on the quiz.
    This tutorial is complete.
