Module 5- Week 1

This week I practiced using databases.  I mainly used Google Scholar, ERIC, and I looked through the ISTE journals.  I uses those because when completing my search for my literature review all three offered many resources on my topic.  One thing that I found frustrating was the links given to articles from the database searches did not always provide the whole article or make it easily available.  At times I was able to read a section of the text or an excerpt, but to find the whole text I was asked to join the database by purchasing a subscription.  The other option was leaving that site in search for finding the whole article.  This made the search for an article time consuming.  When I did find an article in its entirety, I found it was less difficult than I expected to make changes to the document and add comments.  I thought the formats made it user friendly and helpful for a user who might not be familiar with the task.
