WEBOPEDIA

I have heard of and used the encyclopedia and wikipedia but I have never head of Webopedia until today. Have you? Webopedia is the online tech dictionary catered towards IT professionals, educators and students.

Their goal is to "provide easy-to-understand definitions, avoiding the use of heavy jargon when possible so that the site is accessible to users with a wide range of computer knowledge". 

Webopedia realizes we live in an ever changing society and constantly updates their content as technology continues to evolve and change. It is a great site to learn a little more about the tech world, as a student learning about Web 2.0, this site helps me understand different things I am learning about and stumbling upon on the web.

After learning about networks in this class I found this term, network management, interesting. Networks have to be managed to ensure things are running smoothly and the users are able to navigate and make use of the network, in this case, computer network, effectively.
