In chapter 2 I learned about search tools. Search tools help people to find certain information from many web sites all over the world. There are two types of search tools: subject directories and search engines. A search engine helps to find Web pages, Web sites, and Internet files by using key words or phrases. Some search engines require more specific words and phrases. A subject directory is simply clicking on a certain subject and following the links for that topic to get the information. They are usually put into categories like sports or entertainment.

The only new skills I have learned from my last post is more about the SAM software. The training sessions are helping with Microsoft programs and will surely help me on the tests. I also learned some new terms in the book such as subject directory. I 've used subject directories before I just never knew the name for them.

So I am still feeling under the weather but not as bad as before. My throat is still sore but the fever and everything else went away so thats a plus. I'm also having some trouble with my wireless internet on my computer. Sometimes it will not detect any wireless connections even if there are some. It's really weird and annoying so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!
