blog... why blogging??

1. What do you like about blogging?

So, what do like about blogging? I really like to to blog because i can share information about what i have learned in this semester besides that, i can also share my comments with my friends. It also provide the platform for me to do interactive discussion with my friends and therefore we can share our thoughts and opinions.

2. What you do not like about blogging?

The things that i do not like about blogging is I do not know on how to attract people to read this blog and thus there are less comments on my blog... it also not really can reflect my feeling in any reflection because reflection is better if it is done verbally and people can really know how you feel and thoughts if it is done verbally.

3. What have you gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

Blog can really help me in fostering my language fluency in writing skills because i can read other people's blogs and i can gain more knowledge on how to use the language properly....

4. How?

I think it helps me in my language, because I have the tendency to check on my work after I do my blog entries, there are also spelling correction when i do it, to self-correct and to ensure it is grammatical error-free. Critical thinking and reasoning skills does come into context when others leave comments on your blog and challenge you on some thoughts.

5. What do you like about this course? What have you learnt from this course?

we can do a lot of tutorials that is very useful for us in the future... i think i can also get some idea on how to exploit the use of technology in order to create teaching aids for my lesson in the classroom... i also learnt a lot of new things from this course... there are many kind of thing that i did not know before this and i get the exposure about it through this course.... it make me really eager to learn about the software, internet tools and many kind of things because i want to always stay up to date with the technology that might give big influence to us in the future.... i can also find the new way of teaching styles that i think that i can apply it in my future classroom.... i still got one and a half year before i finish my study and go out for teaching... so in 2012, i think the use of technology will widely use in the education field....

6. What you do not like about this course?

there are othing that i do not like about his course beause i love technology

7. What have you learnt from this course that you did not expect to?

i do not expect that i would learn on how to edit pictures, edit videos, edit audios because i think that we just have to download it and not to alter it

8. What have u expected but do not learn from this course?

there are nothing that i expected to learn because i am in the education course and I am a long life learner.. so i will learn everything that i could to sharpen my teaching skills...

9. On a scale of 1 – 10, please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.

i think my scale is 7 over 10 after this couse since i can use the software or everythin but i cannot use it excellently.....

WHAT IS E-BOOK?????

Early e-books were generally written for specialty areas and a limited audience, meant to be read only by small and devoted interest groups. The scope of the subject matter of these e-books included technical manuals for hardware, manufacturing techniques, and other subjects.

Numerous e-book formats emerged and proliferated, some supported by major software companies such as Adobe's PDF format, and others supported by independent and open-source programmers. Multiple readers naturally followed multiple formats, most of them specializing in only one format, and thereby fragmenting the e-book market even more. Due to exclusiveness and limited readerships of e-books, the fractured market of independents and specialty authors lacked consensus regarding a standard for packaging and selling e-books. E-books continued to gain in their own underground markets. Many e-book publishers began distributing books that were in the public domain. At the same time, authors with books that were not accepted by publishers offered their works online so they could be seen by others. Unofficial (and occasionally unauthorized) catalogs of books became available over the web, and sites devoted to e-books began disseminating information about e-books to the public.

As of 2009^[update], new marketing models for e-books were being developed and dedicated reading hardware was produced. E-books (as opposed to ebook readers) have yet to achieve global distribution. Only three e-book readers dominate the market, Amazon's Kindle model or Sony's PRS-500 and Bookeen with Cybook Gen3 and Cybook Opus. However, not all authors have endorsed the concept of electronic publishing. J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has stated that there will be no e-versions of her books.

tutorial!!

previously i learned that we have to make tutorials for many kinds of software

tutorial is very useful because i learned how to use the software correctly step by step

and it will help me to do it properly and it also can help other people who reading the tutorial.

i saw many kind of tutorials from my friends and i can easily follow the tutorials because there

are also pictures to give more details on how to do it... i also found out there are many tutorials

that posted on the internet and also guides on how to use certain software and i think it is really

useful because people will know how to apply it with the help from the tutorials....

there are also tutorials that done in video and it is more vivid since we can see it clearly

and the verbal instructions are very useful and understandable.....

So, if you want to use any software you can search it using the search engine in order to find

the way o how to use it..... that's all from me for this entry... thank you!!
