2nd Week

What Have I Learnt Today??

"SKYDRIVE", do u come across this word before? Honestly speaking, i have neither heard nor seen this before. Is it a program? Or is it a software? Nononono..................

Windows Live SkyDrive is part of Microsoft's Windows Live range of online services. It is also a file storage and sharing service that allows users to upload files to the computing cloud and the we can access them from a web browser. (Wow, thanks Pn Foziah for introducing this to us, this has really broaden my horizon as i am one step further from yesterday) I am a Windows Live user but i know nothing about Windows Live SkyDrive. ~blush * blush~

Apart from introducing SkyDrive to us, Pn Foziah also emphasized on the importance of "TOUCH TYPING". Am I able to do this? (This was the 1st question that came to my mind)

Touch Typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. This will increase the typing speed rate and you can get your work done faster. Well, i think i still need more practices in order to stop looking at my beautiful keyboard when I am typing.

And finally..... Our first assignment is here - Blog (20%). In this assignment, we have to update our blogs with the weekly reflections and also our thoughts regarding this subject. Well, although it is my 1st time blogging, I really enjoy the process of creating a new blog and beautifying it.

See ya next week....Adeus.....

A New Discovery on "Using and Developing Resources For the ESL Classroom"

This was my first week in UM and it was also my first day entering the class for PBEY 3102, Using and Developing Resources for the ESL Classroom. My mind was full with excitement, curiosity and wonders regarding what I am going to learn in the class. Resources…hmhmhm…Although it is new to my “dictionary”, I am 100% ready into the world of resources. I understand that there will always a challenge for a beginner but I have assured myself to accept this challenge and to be excel in this subject.

Before the class, everyone was waiting impatiently in front of the computer lab. I bet the 75 of us were wondering for the same things – how does our lecturer look like? Is she strict? What are we going to learn in the class?

Just then, her entries in front of the lift had caught our attention and everyone was extremely quiet. Haha….As usual, everyone fought to squeeze trough the small gap between the doors to get a place for themselves. (So do I) After we had settled down, here comes the ice-breaking session. She introduced herself as Pn. Foziah and she is currently pursuing her PhD. As she further explained on what she is expecting for us, I knew that she is a nice, up-to-date and responsible person. She knows a lot in the world of technology. I adore her………

Besides photo editing, she told us that we are going to learn about video editing and also audio editing which I had never come across before. I hope I can hasten my footstep in order to upgrade my skill in “The World of Resources.”

During the 1^st class, we were assigned

to get ourselves an 8gb pendrive

Adeus.....
