Learning Journal #3

Reflection
Before this module, I had no idea what "if" was. I can see now that information Fluency is very important if I want to succeed in today's growing web-based work environment. Knowing how to search the deep web will put we a little bit closer to becoming a better candidate in the workforce. Knowing how to find and use information quickly and effectively is a big plus as far as employment goes. Time is money, the quicker I can access reliable information, the better. I feel like this module was very beneficial. One thing I keep wishing is that there was a way to search the deep web in a way that is as elegant as google, but the internet is a jungle, sometimes things have to get a little dirty.
