The Ball is Still Rolling…

It is the second day of our training and participants are now coping up with the blog business as each one tries and makes his or her blog attractive by improving different features of his/ her site. It is very impressive because it looks like the training is on point.

Participants are now able to establish links with different bloggers thereby sharing information, visiting others’ sites and the like.…Wow! It is incredible.

As the ball is still rolling, participants were able to know how journalists can do research via Internet and the facilitator, Peik Johansson, insisted on several aspects to consider when doing research. Above all, the aspects to consider first is that “think before going to the web” and then “always monitor other news sites.” In due regard, when undertaking research via Internet, one has to make sure that she/he chooses the right search word(s) and avoid being too general to the undertaking, for example, if one wants to know statistics of illegal fishing in Lake Victoria, one has to ask herself/himself first, ‘is it Lake Victoria in Tanzania, Kenya or Uganda? Such an approach tells that one has to be sure of what she/he wants to search for the right pieces of information.

In due regard, still there are more days to go for the Internet training for journalism lecturers from St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) that definitely will be such fruitful training stint.
