Final

Finally, the semester is almost ends. I really cannot wait for the semester to end and start having my semester break after this. Overall the course, I could say that, there is so much that I have learned throughout the semester. From downloading, encoding, editing, storing, burning and even searching.

1. What they like about blogging.

From my opinion, blogging enable us to share the information and knowledge that we have with others.In the world nowadays, blogging allows anyone to post their thoughts so that it can be shared with others. In educational purposes like this case, blogging is like a journal for all of us to record and reflect what we have learned so far. Moreover, it also shows our progress towards the topics that has been taught within the course. Student's life in the university is rather different from the life that we once had back in college. Although we are all in the same class, but it seems that we do not have the time to sit and talk about things related anymore. Thus, blogging is one of the solution to keep all of us to interact with each other.

2. What they do not like about blogging.

Blogging requires us to publish our written work and thoughts online. So, of course we have to be careful in what we want to post. The most important thing to be aware when posting blog is the language use in writing the blog. Besides that, we also need to be aware that the blog that we post is free from any element of bias and hatred. This is because blog is open to be read by anyone on the net. So, blogging requires us to be careful in what we wanted to say.

3. What have they gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

The most important thing that I learned from blogging how to create a blog account and how to post and edit my blog account. In term of the language skill, as i have mentioned earlier, blogging requires us to be careful in using the language whether it is grammatical error free or free from bias. Moreover, it is undeniable that blogging improve my fluency because blogging is like a journal that record and reflects the progress throughout the course. I remembered that my teacher used to assign us to write on our journal for at least every week when I was schooling. So, I guess blogging functions as journal years ago.

4. How?

Blogging improve my technology skill because creating and managing a blog account is already a new experience to me. Next, blogging improve my language skill because it allows me to practice the target language in all my posts. Besides, blogging is like a self reflections for myself towards the course that i am having. Thus, blogging record and reflects what i have learned throughout the semester.

5. what they like about the course

This course has opened up my eyes about the use of technology. I used to be someone who is not a techno savvy, but now, i guess, i have to admit that technology is not an option anymore, but it is a need in the world nowadays.

6. what they do not like about the course

Honestly, there are too many task to be done. Though i know and it is undeniable that I have learned a lot from this course, but sometimes i feel burden by the task given. However, since i am an optimistic, so i prefer to look things in a positive way.

7. what they have learnt from the course

All i can say is that I have learned so much skills from this course. From downloading, encoding, storing, burning, searching and editing. As i mentioned that I used to be someone who is not a techno savvy once, but now, this course has made me realize that technology is important nowadays.

8. what they do not expect but have learnt from the course


Obviously, editing the "So you think you can dance" video. I never expect that we will learn downloading streaming file from 8tv, encoding, editing, extracting, and combining the video. I have to admit that it is a lot of work, but now i can say that it is such an experience to me.

9. what they expect but have not learnt from the course.

Developing the non-technological resources. We were given the book, but it seems that we did not talk so much about the non-technological resources.

10. if they can change anything about the course, state what it is and explain.

First of all, i think we should be given the opportunity to stick to the same group when it comes to group work. This is in order to avoid us to be confuse for having so many groups and different group members. I think the content is all right, but perhaps we could decrease the quantity of tasks that we need to be completed. This is because, we can focus more on quality than the quantity. For example, if a task requires us to work in group of four, and the task is designing four lesson plans, so, perhaps each person can only design a lesson plan.

However, i am glad that i have gone through it all now. For me, it really takes a lot of courage to complete this whole course. Though i have faced all the hard work, but i consider it as an experience to be learned. As the saying goes "no pain, no gain".
