In this short semester, there are three subjects that we need to take and one of them is computer in education (GE 1155) taught by Mr.Fariduddin. I find that this subject is quite interesting as it would provide a better guidance for me to enhance my ICT skills as a teacher to be. Besides that, by mastering this knowledge it would be easier for me to deliver information to my students effectively since technology is very important in today's education.
During the first week of lecture, I've learned many useful information mainly on basic ICT skills such as registering official e-mail, facebook, joining and creating yahoo groups and also blog registration. Our lecturer has explained to us in detail about these subtopics so that we could get a good grasp of it when it comes to application of those skills. At first, I found that the proccesses or the steps involved were quite confusing but i've tried my best to really understand them.
The first task is to create our own yahoo mail and gmail account. There are several ways that I have learned from Mr. Fariduddin where first of all we need to go to the websites (google or yahoo) and then click the 'sign up' button and fill in the forms by typing down our desired usernames and our password. The positive things that I learned from this are determinations and enthusiasm in the sense that i should have my own initiative in solving any problems that I face.
The second task is to create an offficial facebook. The first step that we need to do is to go to www.facebook.com and there will be space for us to sign up and some other spaces that need to be filled in. After that, I can send a request to all my friends or etc and even my course coordinator and lecturer. It was quite easy for me since I used to create my own facebook account before so i should not have a serious problem in that. There are few good things of having a facebook account because we can find our old friends and it can also be the medium of learning processes.
The third task is to join and create a yahoo group. First and foremost, we should join the yahoo group of our ipg and then create our own yahoo group. I had a little problem in completing this task and its quite a strange thing for me as i've never created a yahoo group before. To create a yahoo group we should go to the website www.yahoo.com and search for yahoo group and click on the 'create group' button. After that we should fill in several information that is required and type all the email adresseses that we want to invite.
The last task is to create our own official blog. First of all we should go to the website http://www.blogger.com. Secondly, create a blog by using gmail or google account. (For this step, if you don't have gmail, you need to register a google account by using your current email such as yahoo or hotmail).
thirdly, choose your desire template for your blog. the next step is fill in the form provided and enter your desire url for your blog and finally edit your profile. If you want to create new post just click the the button "New Post" on top of the right hand side of the page. If you want to edit your profile, upload new photo for photograph, change the setting and design your blog, just click the button "dashboard". The advantages of having our own offficial blog is that we can comment on other people's status and share our thoughts on a topic and so on.
All in all, learning ICT is very important for me as it will give many benefits to me as a teacher to be and those knowledge will be shared together with my students later on.
