HW 10/6

I am very impressed with the LOC site.  The vastness of information, the meticulous accounting of the array of documents, the myriad content areas, the expanse of knowledge of human kind neatly assembled in a building of such grand magnitude chalks one up big time for humanity.

What also strikes me is the manner in which so much data is so compactly simply organized for the general public offers a testament to the positive power of the world wide web.  Not long ago, one would have to travel to the historic site in order to access the information.

This is a powerful resource for teachers in particular, but anyone who voraciously likes gobbling up knowledge.

There is a sense though of overwhelm, as there is just so much to tap into.  I guess this is where patience and specifying a search term will be valuable.  Part of my fear is truthfully that technology intimidates me and I get easily frustrated and then give up.  That, I know, I partly why I have just started doing the home work assignments.  It is easier for me to put off the unfamiliar rather than deal with, learn from it, and walk away feeling better about myself having accomplished a new skill.  I am a work in progress.
