My professor also created two group activities for the class to
participate in. In both activities, we were asked to search online what
information we could find on hand washing standards as well as different
countries guidelines to doing breast self examinations. The point of these
activities was to compare what search results we came across. Before this class
I did not know to what extent Google tailored our results. The video we saw in
class, TED, Eli Pariser: Beware online “filter bubbles”, shows us how Google
even looks at what type of computer we are on, the browser we are using and our
location to determine what links we come across. This really shocked me and has
made me consider the fact that not everyone stumbles upon the same information
online.
Why don’t you try this activity and compare with your friends.
Do you both land on the same links?
I took this screenshot of an entry I found on an RN Journal
website, where licensed nurses, educators, and nursing students can post
articles that they see may be of interest to the nursing community. The article
I came across is about nursing research and in this screen shot I highlighted
the sentences that stood out to me. We as nurses spend a lot of time with our
patients and throughout this time we learn the factors that are or will affect
their health. When doing nursing research, we incorporate these aspects of the
client in order to come to an appropriate and best solution.
Here’s the full link to their website, check it out and if you
find any interesting articles why not post them!
