During this learning module I realized just how vast the internet really is. I never took the time to learn about the many different kinds of search engines and social web tools that are available to me. This module has also given me a greater understanding of how to perform an effective online search. I had a very general idea of how to perform a scholarly search but the information in this module has taught me definite do's in order to have the best chance of finding what I'm looking for.
Another thing I learned during this module is just how important it is to be very much in the know of the resources that are available and how to use them. Having these skills is becoming increasingly necessary in order to participate successfully in today's workforce. I had never heard the term information fluency previously but it is certainly very important to have.
I feel like I put an adequate amount of time into completing this module. One thing that i would change though is starting the assignments a bit more in advance because it seems that whenever I go to submit an assignment at the last minute my internet connection becomes temperamental.
