After completing learning module 3, I learned a lot more about searching the web for information. The most interesting part of learning module 3 was when we covered the “Invisible Web” that is a mass selection of web pages that are not found by search engines. The web pages have either no or few links to them and are hard to find. The invisible web is also known as the deep web. Also, I learned how search engines work and how they use “spider’s” or “Web Crawler’s” to gather web pages.
In the 21st century people should know skills such as Information Literacy, and Media Literacy. This means that they should know how to use technology and media to gain information, understand communication tools and use networks.
