summary of the lesson

well its the final blog for this subject alr... final week for this semester too... and everyone is so busy. including me!!!! so many submission and bla bla bla.... i hate it!!!! overall i find that the lesson is quite interesting however, i don really like it alot becos of blogging and stuff... for myself i would rather do those calculations stuff which i thing is more practical.... blogging is jus not my cup of tea!!! the other thing i dislike about this subject is the portfolio... i hate it... i hate compiling and writing reports... but after all, i learnt alot of things from this subject... the least is the correct way to do research online... using the evaluation techniques i learnt in the subject, i guess i will be able to do a proper research next time!!! and im like so dead!!! becos i did compile the citation last time!!! i had to start looking up all the previous worksheets for the links and compile all together... well busy week for all students!!! all the best to all students taking exams!!!

Group Discussion

Actually i prefer to work in groups lo. becos more brains mahz.. haha there are good and bad working in groups la.. good thing is u can generate more ideas working in groups while the bad thing is,if ur group is nt cooperating, u have to do all the work by urself...  as a individual contributor, i have learn alot of thing from it lo... u will be able to take feedback from other about ur opinions which is sometimes really helpful in some ways.. however if u work alone, u will nt be able to hear feedback and u jus have to write based on what u think and feel.. if next time u are given a task to do group work, please choose ur members wisely... choose those who can really contribute ideas... this will really help u alot in ur group work!!! Wiki for my research??? well!!! it really depends on wat the research really ask for... if they ask for peoples point of view den most likely i will wiki for it.. haha... ALL THE BEST FOR UR UP COMING EXAMS!!!

HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY

Yes!!!! Holiday!!!! How i wish i can go taiwan for holiday!!! but nw is nt the time yet... because i have no money!!!! but i seriously feel like going taiwan because taiwan seems to be a place for me to relax and enjoy... there are alot of roadside food that seems to be delicious on tv... if i were to go taiwan, i also wan to go for its natural spa pool... in taiwan there is so many places of interest like the Alisan, sun moon lake, kenting and other natural heritage which is not found in singapore... the reason why taiwan is because i personally feel that taiwan and singapore have the same culture... jus that taiwan has alot of interesting places where singapore don have... with the same culture, i don tink i will have problem communicating and my meals wont be affected that much as well... look here is what i have got from the taiwan tourism board










i went to check out taiwan from its tourism board and i find that the webpage is very well design...

the web page clearly indicate the sub topic which enables user to select on the links that they want to browse... i believe the information that they provide are very accurate because it is a government website therefore the information that they provide must be very accurate so as not to tarnished its country reputation...it also covers alot of information on the travel guide, hotel and accommodation and places of interests which is a very important information that every tourist needs. the page also clearly indicate its purpose of the links and it is very accessible to users...

   

in second life things are not as wonderful as i thought of... the surrounding are so quiet and boring.... dont seems to be what i see on tv... the area is so open and i can hardly see crowds or roadside stalls...

 the shopping experience in the virtual world is so much different from going to the country and shop in real life... in real life shopping u can get to taste the real food and u are able to tried out clothes and stuff... the places of interest in secnond life is also very limited and i cannot get to try out the hot spring myself... after all i still prefer to shop in real life because u can get to enjoy all the shiokness of relaxing and shopping spree...


 

STOMP

STOMPING in class... Nice right??? can get to STOMP in class... haha, but we are not doing it jus for fun... it was one of the activity under the EIR subject... We have to evaluate the web page base on its purpose, coverage currency and etc... 

Frankly i feel that stomp is an average rating entertaining web page because although it contain alot of news, stories and stuff, its contain may nt be accurate as it is posted by public... some of them may jus have prejudice against others and therefore they start to make unpleasant comments on their pictures and video... however nt all the news cannot be trusted because some of the news are being extracted from the news papers... but what i like about stomp is that the article in in is all very up to date.... almost like everyday a new article will be added to it which make it very interesting because the new article may not be found in the newspaper...
the website is also design in a very accessible way and it is very user friendly... it is being group into mamy sub categories and with jus a simple click of ur mouse, u can go to the page that u wan...well as for the coverage of the stomp, all i can say that is is very limited... it only cover the local issues and the most two to three foreigns countries issues only... and the covered foreign issues is also very little... what the webpage emphasize is mostly on the local entertain circle like the GETAI, and those really really stupid news like young couples hugging in the train and stuff... i feel that it is very un professional because as a local, u shouldnt have post this kind of small issues online and let the public comment on it... this will affect the image on singaporeans... by doing so, u r jus making a disgrace on singaporeans and can u imagine if a foreigner is reading up on this webpage? what will he think on sngaporean???

if i were to set up a webpage, i would employ a qualified journalist to post articles for me... i wan a professional kind of webpage which allows user to be able to extract useful information for their research..
