Project Post #3

When it comes to the collaboration part of the project I worked with Iselle, Bobby, and Nadia. I commented on some of their blog posts with websites I felt were helpful to me, and based on their research I think would be helpful to them too. These websites I found were from sweetsearch and bing. I tried to stay away from google just because I was curious what other sites had to offer. One particular site I found on Bing was an encyclopedia that was structured a lot like wikipedia, however, I felt like this website had a lot more in depth information while still maintaining the easy navigation that wikipedia uses. The website I found on sweetsearch differed a lot from sites that I would usually find on google. This was basically an index of all the crusades with basic information on the homepage. Then you could select which crusade you wanted to find more about, and it would bring up a very detailed and thorough page of what happened. Lastly, I went a bit oldschool for some of my sources. Like I mentioned before in my first blogpost about the project, I went to the Burlington Public Library to check out some books. What I like about these books is that every single one of them is different and offers something extra to my project, which is something that is sometimes overlooked when using websites. Websites can tend to be very similar and uniform in their presentation of topics. Where as the books I picked out have certain images and diagrams that enhance the material and make each source unique.
