Why...???

Why we do write blog?

The purpose can be varied from one individual to others. Some find it a way of self expression to promote their lifestyle. Others might write blog just for the sake of fulfilling the requirements in a course.Despite al these purpose, the main reason is to transmit knowledge or convey information using this modern technology.Critical reader and creative blogger can complement each other.Exchanging ideas and critical comments are essential as it can help the blogger to improve in his/her writing. Thus, i really hope all my readers do comment for every entry.It is important since i can reflect how others perception toward my writing styles and ideas.

Frankly speaking, im not the blogger type since i like to make full use of my "MOUTH" to talk. Talk for satisfaction(for me its my basic need - almost like eating choc cake hehe)

"not mastubating ok mellisa"

....talk for expression or talk to exchange info.

However, talking to much can have a lots of drawbacks and limitation so i really hope writing a journal aka blog can explore my hidden potential (who knows i can be a great blogger like Yasmin the storyteller :-I)

okies guys...now let me proceed with what i had learned so far this week:

A question to ponder :

Nowadays,people talk about ICT 24/7 from kopitiam to mamak stall until 'dewan senat'.

1. WHAT IS ICT? it is acronym for Information and Communication Technology

DEFINITION :the technology involving the development, maintenance, and use of computer systems, software, and networks for the processing and distribution of data

Based on Merriiam Webster Dictionary

Computers , PDA's and laptops are sample of the technology.....but having them doesnt mean you already IT savvy. It because you need to develop your computer skill, maintaning your computer from virus (im suggesting Avira AntiVir -EXCELLENT yet FOC), make full use of the computer systems and software example....browsing the net using Mozilla FireFox or listening using ReaL Media Player. Finally, the purpose is to process and distribute data since thats why technology invented for. To make our life easier.

2.What is the most difficult thing to change in school when it related to ICT?

• Attitude and perception (Students and Teachers)
• budget (school admin and ministry of education)
• environment (climate)
• rules (adminastration)
• culture and norms(Social agents like parents,peer and teacher do influence)

The best word ever.....PLEaSE however for today class i learn it can be stand for - Personalized Learning Environment and Student's Engagement.Common words used daily but actually has different meaning. Surprise right? Next,Prof introduced us to Pedagogy of Engagement Integrating Technology (PoEIT).

Why engagement important in learning process?

1. Learners learn to engage solving problem in daily activities
2. activated schemata or background knowledge
3. Bloom Taxonomy - Application (Learner able to apply in real life situation)
