that is so helpful.
i no need to waste time and ask friends.
i can immediately found out the correct answer.


It also helped me in finding the history resouces.

THE USE OF WEBLOGS

for me,
we can use weblogs to record or writing our life with expressing our feelings, emotions, thoughs.
also, it can provide people to comment to give opinions.
simultaneously, we can also read others weblogs which i think can gain a lot of knowledge and ideas.

The Advantages i learnt 
firstly, it encourages me to read and eventually improve my reading and writing skills
it can easily update and allow instant publishing with just one click.
also, it makes easier to publish all types of resources.

Benefits

-The first and foremost benefit of weblogs in HEIs is their use as e-learning tools. This way, the teaching-learning process can continue outside the classroom.
-Weblogs help create connections between students with diverse opinions and interests. This encourages critical thinking and teaches the value of respect towards other students’ points of view.
-Weblogs’ features (linking, replying, and tracking) make easier sharing knowledge and information.
-Discussions in weblogs promote higher levels of thinking, because people can think before
answering back.
-Collaborative weblogs support team work and group learning.
-Also, teachers may benefit from the possibility of monitoring projects in real time, thus indicating improvements before it is too late for the students to incorporate them.
-Final grading is faster and easier: instructors are able to review how students have participated and developed over the course.

Barriers 
-The use of technology- based tools may be another barrier. It can be of a structural nature, for instance lack of computers, or difficult access to the Internet (as happens in Spain where the Internet connection is quite expensive and slow). Another source of disadvantage would be computer illiterate users, specially in those countries with a wide digital divide.
-If the weblog is public, it may suffer troll infestations, people that intentionally try to cause
disruption by posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, incorrect, inaccurate, or off-
topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.

DIGITAL COMPETENCIES

learnt that in this contemporary life,
getting online is very much involve in our life.
also, it is an inevitable to us to understand digital and related requirements in future.
The workforce will be more digitally-savvy.

google apps for education

Note taking:

google keep tutorial
i found out that google keep is really easy to use.
it allows me to capture quickly what is on my mind or what i see is interesting at the right place and time like the slides gave by lecturer in the class and i can record voice memo. it saves a whole lot of time. also, it provides color code for me to easily recognize.

after class or before exam,
i usually will conclusion all the notes and write them for easy memorization.

 Google doc:

i can easily share my project and research proposal and they can feedback by commenting.
plus, it is so helpful that it actually can share to other for editing and creating the documents at same time.
And, i no need worry about forget saving my work.
it saves automatically and now im not afraid that my laptop is running out of battery while im doing my work.

adopters of technology

To me,

Google always help me in finding good resources and information effectively, i can find everything that is in my mind in any fields.

Facebook can help me in group sharing information and pictures, also, get in touch with my friends whose are far away from me or across the world.

It is also a platform to share my thoughts and can promote my art works.

Twitter helps me in communicate with people and friends publicly, and was my first time found out that creating hashtags can be so fun. 

It can automatically links to words or topic and also, it is a real-time live platform for breaking news and information. 

It also helps me to stay connected with the idol i like by following them in twitter. 

but,

seriously,

before social networking class,

i didnt explore about anything about google docs.

i did know a little bit about google drive, as i came across the cloud of storage files back up from my gmail and pictures.

and yes i also heard about google apps which are calendar, map, blog, gmail, youtube and etc.

but i didnt know them well.

so after the lessons,

i discovered that google calender can actually shared calender to friends about classes and events. Also, it can differentiate by colors to specific the important event or submission deadline and terrifying exam.

secondly, the amazing google docs.

it really can help me a lot in my id works.

the old experience about doing the group presentation is that

i need to meet up with friends and discuss together.

or

keep discuss with friend online in facebook and after done the slide,

we will throw our slides in gmail and one of us will combine it.

how tiring! ;<

so, now

i have chance to learn google doc.

which i can do my group presentation in live together!

can speak out my mind directly without meeting up which costs a lot of time.

about google survey,

i already knew it well.

As i use it in my academic resource,

it is so useful that can automatically calculate the result.

for a lazy student like me,

i love that very much!

hahahahahha

and 
google

i use to write my thoughts in blog.

and show off my efforts about my art works.

but i have stopped a blogger a years ago.

as i was accidentally deleted all the photos.

ALL GONE.

i didnt manage to get it all back.

so i closed it.
