Forum Discussions

It was another Wednesday and we had our IS lesson. Our IS teacher, Mr Kent scolded some of the pupils that did not done their homework ( BLOG). After that our teacher wanted us to send our IS Blog address to him.

Then, it was the main homework. Mr Kent wanted us to go to http://www.webnewmedia.ning.com and go to the Forum. There were three titles...
1) the social impact of new media technologies
2) ethical issues on media usage and intellectual property
3) blog/website differences.
Different index number had a different forum. Index 1 - 11 forum no 1, index number 12-22 forum no 2 and index number 23 - 33 forum no 3.

Mr Kent wanted us to immerse ourselves into all these discussions by penning down our opinions and responses in the forum. As I was index number 11, I wrote down my opinions and responses on forum no 1 ( the social impact of new media technologies). Each student need to write at least 100 words on his title. Next, reply on other pupil's opinion, at least 50 words each, 1 at his own title and one at other pupil's title.

I have done it and I'm very pround and happy!!

Picture

Does the picture look nice? I bet it does. I did it with some help from my friend. It was very fun. I did it in half an hour, most of the time picking pictures. But if you want me to teach you, please ask. I also wanted to change my template, but it was not good, so I delete it.

How can I put music into my blog???

My First IS Lesson : The Internet & WWW

It's was Wednesday. We had our IS lesson during the last 2 lesson. When I first went in the computer lab. Whoa... I love the chairs. It's so fun... You can zoom here, zoom there. OK, forget about the rolling chairs, let get down to business.

First our IS teacher, Mr Kent show us a video clip. If you want to see the video go to this website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q75KhAeqJg&feature=related. After that, Mr Kent talked about the history of Internet. It started from 4 host nodes then in 1984, there were more than 1000 host nodes. Today, more than 200 million host nodes. So you see how fast it is.

Mr Kent also told us what are the ways to access to Internet and there are three ways, that is using ISP, OSP and Wireless Internet Service Provider. I have alsso learnt what is an IP number and a domain name. Before they use domain name, they use IP numbers. NOw, most of the people use domain name.

Next, we learnt that there are more than 1 program to get into the Internet. There are a lot of them, like Internet Exprorer, Mozila Firefox, Netscape, Opera and Safari. I have also learnt some words, like www ( world wide web), URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and many more. I also learnt what is links and portals.

Mr Kent use a clip to teach us. If you want the clip go to this website http://www.docstoc.com/docs/21243409/TheInternetandWWW.

Hope you Enjoy!!! (^@^)

Myself...

Hi, I am Wei Lim. I am in class 1O2. My father is an IT manager. He taught me some things, but I am still not a ''pro''. I would be very happy to know how to make a website of my own. In primary schoool, I have learnt how to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point. I know how to use the Internet. I usually use it to E-mail to my father and mother and to find information, but I would love to learn more.
