Scavenger Hunt Experience

Doing the scavenger hunt exercise was a great and fun learning experience. My team members and me had to find the answers to the questions that our professor gave us. We had to use the Internet to find the information but it needs some searching and digging. Some information popped up right away on basic Internet search but some question needed a lot of searching. My group and me decided to split the questions so we can finish early and before turning in the answers to question we will discuss them first. I got the first 6 question and all of them were easy. Also the first three questions popped up all under one page, which was created by previous class, due to fact that they mentioned our professor name under their blog. Before turning in my group had a discussion on one question, middle sister's married name and in order to do that we looked into our professor Facebook, things professor posted anything related to sisters and in the end I think we answered, Nancy but we heard she is the youngest sister.

It was very interesting exercise and we discovered how most of the information about the individual is available online and can me accessed within milliseconds. This exercise showed that how we give up our personal information with not even notice it. Also by collaborate with other fellow students as a group I learned how others use different searches methods on Internet to find answers. We turned in our paper the second in the class and it turned out that my group won $5 Starbucks gift card, which was surprising.
