Blog #3- "The Search For Knowledge"

Many students today fail projects, assigments, and classes in general due to lack of resource research (or resources they dont realize or even knew they had/have access to). This year I've decided to take up "Digital Media Arts" at T.C.I.. Now, for any student taking this course you can make the ride alot smoother by simply having the proper resources. There is strength not only in numbers, but information as well. The difference between an A and an A+ paper or project is usually the substance of information that is given or lack there of. The internet is a great source for information and can make a HUGE difference in the amount of intelligence you gather for your research. If you are a Digital Media Arts student and could use some guidance or would like more information on some of your classes, below are a list of web links that lend assistance with any questions or concerns that you may have on any of these paticular courses.
