Final posting for the workshop

It seems that Weft QDA would be very helpful for me to use. I'm not sure wether it is the tool that I encountered at the last class, but it seems to be easy to use and the marking function should relieve a lot of work for clustering the data and identifying the patterns. I have a final assingment of self case-study for my L2 reading. I couldn't find the free software for Mac, but I will retry it. Instead, I downloaded EspressScribe hoping I could use this for transcribing my self recall-protocall data. During for the five short sessions, I encountered too many wonderful tools, and thus, I don't remember which tools that I used for transcribing while replaying the audio file. I don't think it's ExpressScribe.

I hope I could browse these during the winter break.

Well, Thanks to the instructor for sharing all this beneficial tools.

The various functions NVivo provides sounds intriguing. It seems to accommodate a wade range of research methods (coding, diagrams, statistical functions, etc.) such that it facilitate traditional textual and emerging multimedia data analysis. The search engine and query functions are embedded. I'd like to look over how it works later.

RefWork

Hmm,,

What I wrote is disappeared.

I wrote it, and tried to view the whole screen, couldn't find where I can see the whole series.

Finally I got to the page, and found my final one was not posted.

....

After going over the tutorial, I tried to practice by starting from Ebsco DB.

different from what in the tutorial, there's no RefWork icon on the top.

So I had to open a particular article; there, I found export button; I selected refwork among almost 10 choices; finally found "the exporting is temporarily not working".

I will practice later. It must help me a lot one I'm used to it.

I have a question from the tutorial.

I think it said, if a person don't use the Word or the Internet explorer, she needs to use "one line cite". I'm using Mac and my browser is safari. Can't I use "write-n-cite" then?

I'm a little intimidated by this amount of technology tools. But isn't it good that I know that there are theses and have information like websites? Don't be dispirited. I'll make time during spring break.

It's much better that you know something and stressed than you are blissfully ignorant.

It's all your attitude and perspective that makes your world.

but I feel grateful that I now know so much information.

after fixing the time to Eastern, this is a test.

Hmm, it's the second visit here. Thanks to having homework.

Hmm, it's confusing, but it will become familiar soon.

Now I will study what RefWork is like. Hope I grasp the mechanism quick so that I could use it beyond doing homework.

First test

I just created my blog after I was confused with posting an assignment for Lourie's CAQDAS workshop. I'll see how it works.

Bless me.

I appreciate everything given for my precious today.
