Through out the activity , NETS, I have learned that there are more useful ways to search. Before I have only searched with normal engine not using advanced search. Elimitnating the words that is not needed helped to find faster. Now I know how to search more effectly next time if have chanced to do homework with this engine I would like to try them out later.
NET 1.

All these words- Atlantis continent
Any of these unwanted words – Atlantis film movie hotel resort->56,800
All these words- Waterbury
One or more of these words- Vermont VT
Any of these unwanted words- Connecticut CT ->86,600
Q. What strategy was used in above?
When searching advanced search eliminated the unwanted words and only searched necessary words.

REFLECTIONS-
Before we started using the advanced search, we tried the search “atlantis” on normal search, it gave a huge amounts of unrelated websites, but with the help of the advanced search, we shrinked the number of websites, or hits, down to a really positive number, which we can search and find what we need faster.
From periodic table of element I will talk about Sodium. The word is came from English word soda. Sodium is the 4th common element in the world. Sodium is soft silvery white alkali metal that reacts violently with water. It’s atomic # is 11 and atomic mass is 22 amu. Sodium is found by Sir Humphery Davy in 1807. Used in medicine, agriculture and photography. Liquid sodium is sometimes used to cool nuclear reactors. Also used in street lights, batteries, and glass. Moreover Sodium is easily found in salt and food you eat!
I have created this element symbol to show what am I studying in PTOE.
Na represents sodium which is the 4th common element in the world.
