MAPping

I pretty much knew how to search the internet and find what I needed previous to the MAPping activity. Most people who grew up in my generation are pretty well versed when it comes to search engines since we have been using them for most of our lives. When it comes to school work I use Google for just about every thing I research. You type in what you need to know and the more precise you are when you enter a search the more precise of an answer you will receive. Not exactly anything new there.

MAPping is fine too, I guess. Not really anything super new there either. MAPping just associates multiple elements into a given set and can give you a more concise search. Overall if you were to teach MAPping to students when they started learning about searching for things or websites and programs that would probably be the way students searched for things and did things. Mostly unnecessary though,

The way I learned to search for things was to bring up a search engine like google or askjeeves and type in what I wanted to know and look for an answer that closely matched my search. Usually search engines have a very broad arrangement or websites or answers to the thing you first searched for. However, the interesting thing is that most likely the thing that will be at the top of your search is probably what you are looking for since it relates most directly to the key words that were entered in the first place. All in all, I think I am just going to stick to my simple one word Google search.
