Day 2 assignment

YESTERDAY was a wonderful day, We learnt a lot of things on how we can conduct investigation by using internet.
We spent much more time on the investigation by using various webs, social Networks.
Make use of the different Google search option, We managed to find various  information from online sources.
 We went further by looking Google map,in my little understanding of internet to be franky this was new subject.
I found that map can be best source of information. You can use map in News reporting.
and  because I wanted to know this in very wide range, I went checking how map can be used in Journalistic Research.
According to the website of Univesity of Chicaco;   Maps with the News is a lively assessment of the role of cartography in American journalism. Tracing the use of maps in American news reporting from the eighteenth century to the 1980s, Mark Monmonier explores why and how journalistic maps have achieved such importance.
After that,
Our Facilitator Mr Peik assigned us to find Infomation from online sources about  Ezekiel Kemboi.
and wanted us to provide information about this man and what are his biggest merit in his fiield and
Why this man has been in the news this week.
Making use of Google search, we found so many information about Ezekiel Kemboi, and We get to know who is this man, his career and so many things about him.
and of courseI didnt know him before.
After doing this tough job we managed to come up with a very good story from our minds, and we  wrote and publish  short commentary.
You  see this story in my blog here.
Thanks Mr Peik once again! the class was so wonderful.
