Week 6

This past week we had a visit from Mrs. Lowenwarter from the Blenheim house. She showed us some of our soldiers graffiti and learned more about the houses history and facts about our soldier. It was great to see how much these soldiers meant to someone and that our hard work with this research will pay off in the end. We learned more about researching our soldiers and how to tell if a website is appropriate to use or not which is good information for this class and our other classes as well.

At the end of class we were asked to download Zotero, which is a reference management software that manages bibliographic data and related research materials. I had never heard of this program before but it was easy for me to download onto my computer. I used the firefox program since I wasn’t sure if the mac would be applicable with my computer. After I tried it out it worked great! It was so helpful and gave me so much information about that website I was looking at. I’ve even been using it for other classes which is helpful for research papers. I think this program will be very beneficial to our project as we do more research on our soldiers.
