For the first week of lecture, we had have an introduction to educational technology which involves Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, regarding their differences and also their evolution across time.
We were then given our first task by our lecturer, Mr. Norsarihan, to create an official blog for the course GGGE2153 Educational Technology. This is to ensure that sharing of course materials as well as online discussion can be carried out fast and easy at anywhere and anytime of the day. This blog also will acts as an online portfolio in order to keep track of my personal progress in this particular course. And so, here I am.
I do not have much problem in creating a blog as I have already experienced it during our last semester where we took up the course Computer in Education. However, I would try to improve my skills by exploring more ways of personalising a blog, making it as attractive as possible. Previously, I am not so sure in downloading template from websites which offers free blogger template. Hence, I am now discovering about how to download and edit the HTML of a blog's template. Besides that, we also received a task which is to add a podcast (a brief self-introduction) to the blog via PodOmatic. I managed to record my voice and uploaded it to my podomatic account and then published it. Next, I embed the clip and hope to obtain the code to be pasted on my blog. However, the clip do not seem to work properly on my blog. I have no idea what is wrong. It appears to be just a black blank box. I will try again and look up for a solution.
The second task would be to create a wiki account through http://wikispaces.com/. Wikispaces allow us to as well share materials and hold online forum or dicussions. Doubts and questions can be posted online to seek for the lecturer and coursemates' opinion. Everyone would be able to be involved and contribute ideas. I have created mine too.
For both my blog and wikispaces, I updated my profile and picture. Let's get started! Have fun!
