E-LEARNING : TUTORIAL5&6

      Activity 2 – Individual Blog Activity (Reflection on Wiki Experience)

 

It's fun learning in a group as we are able to work together and discuss the questions together . It's more effective and efficient in some projects that we have to handle, whereas for certain project I felt it's best to do as an individual:) the experience that I have gained from this current project is that I finally get to communicate with the people there as most of the work is in individual and I'm able to know each other well and we are able to do our assigned work fast. As an individual contributor, experienced gained was I'm able to put in efforts in findings as I'm able to get help from others, my groupmates.


The most challenging experience i have learnt is to decide the right answer between everyone's decision. Everyone tends to say different answer and it requires sometimes to make sure that everyone agrees with the answer:)

Advices that i would give to the next batch wiki groups when they start a similar project is that, do whatever that have to be done and show interest on it to be excel in this subject:) EFFORRTTTTTTT!!!!!! It's very important!

Apparently, I would definitely use Wiki for research in my own Diplomas and the project I'm handling. Wiki allows us to share our ideas to others and in additional, I'm able to gain more knowlegde from others' ideas. So wiki is like sharing of ideas for everyone to learn:)

Reflections for lesson 3

Hey people, today's lesson was comparing between (http://scholar.google.com) and (www.google.com) . Apparently,I feel that by using (www.google.com) works better for me and more useful. More resources are found and it's mostly related in additonal I'm able to search

results by the country, location and change it and able to get research from the pages from singapore with just a click

compared to (http://scholar.google.com)  it's from the whole country and not relevant to the question that I typed.Therefore, in comparison I'm impressed by google functions as it's really helpful to us when we are searching for results.

Participation in discussion forum

I have participated in the discussion forum to further communicate with the teenagers there and share and ask for their viewpoint and at the start i felt weird because it's my first time posting something there and waiting for their reply really awaiting for their reply anxiously.Following is a screenshot showing the discussion for the question that I have given: Discussion on the leisure trends among youths in Singapore....

 

Reasons we do citation and bibliography

Basically, we do citation because we want to acknowledge the source of the information by the real author and by this is like preventing people from copying and plagiarism. We must be conscious about our work and the people did this from their own opinon and hard work so I think it's important to respect them and their work so I strongly agree that citation is very important and useful.

Bibliography represents the research we have done in preparation for writing, and it offers our audience suggestions for further reading on our topic and bibliography is important as we can search and back track the things that we want in the future for easier references for efficiency and effectiveness.

Facebook Group Discussion ForumFor the facebook discussion forum that we have just done I think it's quite useful as we are actually chatting with our own classmates and from there we can hear from different kinds of viewpoints from different people though. Expressing myself behind the computer isn't a worry to me as I love to do so and I'm able to express myself freely.
This online discussion experience has it's pros and cons, compared  with traditional face-to-face in-class discussions . For the pros, we can expressed ourselves freely and not get frightened or stumbled when we say something rather than with traditional face-to-face in-class discussions. However, we won't know what are the feelings inthe text that are typed as the reader can't possibly read our mind on how are we feeling by reading and always this kind of discussion between the computer may sometimes creates fights and unhappiness because maybe the person is saying in a normal way but the reader may mistaken it and creates tension.
In conclusion,I find that this online forum is relatively useful compared to face to face as most importantly, we are able to type what we feels.

With these lesson three, I find myself becoming more interactive in using internet and socialize with people and also there's a lot of different functions and features to be learnt in google and I looked forward to the next lesson:)
