Friday's Assignment

The following are the main research questions posted by everyone:
 * 1) What effects does digital search and communication tools have on the way people solve problems at work?
 * 2) How does the use of digital search and communication tools effect the way people think and process information?
 * 3) What are the psychological effects of digital search and communication tools on the human mind?
 * 4) How does daily expose to digital searches and communication tools alter the brain?  your research?
 * 5) Which communication tool do you find most effective to accomplish

I read over the comments received from Dr. P. She indicated in all of our feedback on the Discusssion Post are main question could be narrowed and search and communication are broad terms. She suggested on all of our feedback we select one type of tool.

Any ideas or thoughts about revising the main research question? I have to post the finalized group approved questions tomorrow. Also, we need to decide the media we will use to present our findings along with a brief description of why the group members made this choice. This has to be posted by Sunday.

Jenny is the only one so far to make a suggestion. Here are her thoughts:

I think a 5-7-page paper or enhanced PDF might be simple to organize among the group. Since we have to use two different mediums of presentation, maybe we can incorporate a graphical slideshow?I have not played with web design in years, but if anyone can create a simple website, we can also incorporate narrated audio and other graphical elements into the site.

I had an additional thought about it instead of creating a website you could create a graphical slideshow in PowerPoint. The 2010 version of PowerPoint has the capability for narration, but I am not sure about other versions.

Thanks,

Revised Main Question:

How does google search impact probblem solving at work of digital immigrants?

Focused questions: <p class="MsoNormal">Do people check the search results to verify they are credible?

<p class="MsoNormal">How often do people just use google search to solve a problem?

<p class="MsoNormal">Do people use other resources to verify or qualigy the credit of thier search information?

<p class="MsoNormal">Some ideas that I thought might help narrow our original questions.
