Weekly Report & Reflection #4

This week we were introduced to cloud and online curation tools. During this session a lot of useful information was brought up in the Internet Detective webpage that I wish was available to me during first year. This webpage was an advisory webpage that helps students in higher education learn more than just the basics about gathering information off the internet the proper way. Although this information was helpful, it was not the only thing introduced this session.

Diigo is a cloud tool used for storing bookmarks on multiple devices. Diigo will be used by myself in the future to save a lot of time when switching from computer to computer finding sources I had saved on another computer. Signing into Diigo allows me to simply access all the bookmarks i saved on other devices, but more importantly I can highlight useful sections and add notes to articles, making it easier for me to come back to later. This cloud tool will save myself a lot of time in the future when I am doing a paper.

Although Diigo is a great tool, I still enjoy my Feedly reader, as all the top stories from websites I added are in one place. Whatever interests me goes onto my Feedly page. This week, my favourite article from Feedly comes from NESN a Boston Based Sports Broadcasting Channel.

I love watching hockey, and with the NHL All Star game on, watching hockey just seems more interesting. I'm a huge Bruins fan and my favourite Feedly article this week was one that praised one of my favourite hockey players. Patrice Bergeron is, as described in the article, one of the closest things to a perfect hockey player. This short article was highlighted around comments made by top NHL players this week at the All Star game when asked about Patrice Bergeron. This high praise doesn't come to any player, and because it came from more than one player I feel the praise is deserved.

Although Feedly displayed many articles this week revolving around world issues and major entertainment news, I had to pick this article because it just seemed fitting with the All Star break to talk about hockey.
