hii....dear people....


Assalamualaikum.....

This is my final posting for my ICT and language evaluation but insyaallah i will continue it until the end. I love blogging since i took this course six week ago. It keeps me in improving my English Language skill.By reading materials from Internet i can improve my reading skill. In this course, i was asked to search online and off line materials to complete the task. Every week, my lecturer asked my course mates and i to search information about reading, writing, competency, from this assignment, i learn how to cite information and use them to accomplish my job. For example, on fourth week, i was asked to do the assignment about online database. This task asked me to do the research in PTSL. Honestly this was the first time i find the journal at PTSL cyber. I was learnt about online database and know the way of using online journal. Then, i posted the info that got before, in my blog. Through, this assignment also, i know how to paraphrase and summarized the info from committing plagiarism.
In short, blogging taught me to solve the problem depending on myself. At the, beginning of creating this blog i felt so scared and confuse. Confusing of my own ability, whether i can do it and continuing until the end of this course or not. Blogging was the new thing in my life. Before this, i was only know about email, chat room, friendster, my space, i did know about blogger but i was not trying to create the page before this. When my lecturer told us that we are here to learn and try blogging, i was excited to explore it although i thought it was a new and hard thing to do it. But i can learn a new thing in this course.
This blog also teaching me on critical thinking. It asked us to think out of the box. Thinking of the friendster is different than blog. Whereas, this blog was created based on academic blogger. until now, it is only using for academic purposes. After this sixth posting, i can using it for my own purpose, to voice out my thinking to the world. Datin always asked us to think critically about this course. ICT not only to entertainment purposes, marketing, political but to education also. So, this blog can improve my critical thinking based on education. We learnt and thought how to make our blog different from each other by making them creatively and academically.We have to think on how to create our blog different from each others. Make it colorful and useful to be looking at by people outside.
'Try and error'. I always thinking on this way. By thinking like that, i have a confidence to explore more about this blog. I was trying to upload songs, picture and create something interesting to be looking and reading at. This blog asked me to work harder and put a lot of effort on it. Spending more time to modify and improve the page. Every week, i will be posting a material based on topic that we learnt at that week.
The important thing that i learnt from this interesting work is, i learnt how to depend on my own self and produce my own work . Sometimes i asked my friends how to do the job but most of the task i explore it on my own . It is different from before, i always asked my friend how to do the job. Even the instruction was clear. It is because i have no confidence in myself.
Blogging here taught me everything from the smallest until the biggest thing i got the awareness that ICT cannot be separated from language. By expert in ICT we can be mastering too in language.
Last but not least, i want to give my appreciated to the person that always help me. Especially my lecturers, Datin Dr Norizan and Dr Zaini. They put a lot of their effort to taught me on this course. Besides that, i want to thank to my beloved friends and course mate because helping me in completing this assignment.

AsslamuALAikUm.....

This is my fifth posting that will discover about my experience on using online test on last Monday. This test was conducted by our tutor. It was about English comprehension.Honestly, this is my first experience on using online test. i was exited to try it before this. After having this online test, i think that it was good to having test in similar format again. This method is good because it can make us saving in paper using. make it paperless. in other way, we can save our environment too because reducing of using paper.this method also is secure than manual way. there is no cheating among student.by using online test like this,people donT have enough time to look at other people's answer and book. it it because, online test has punctual estimated. people can't make it longer because it was set up early. for example, i was having the English Test online by 1 hour. i can't cheating like in manual ways because we can't cheat the computer same like human. no more compromise on taking more time on using this online test. the other advantage of using online is; we can occupy any test anytime, anywhere and any circumstances. it is because it was evaluated by the computer itself. it was programmed to count the marks and evaluate the ' online paper'. for instance, i have occupied the ICT test online last week with my friends in the computer lab. unfortunately one of my classmate came late to our class, so, our tutor asked her to write the test in her room and she can take it anytime but she have completed before this week. it clears that, this online test can be occupied at anytime,anyple and any situation. this test also is efficient marker or evaluator. we can get the mark or result immediately and the tendency of getting wrong result is lower than people do. computer do not have any feeling so it will not be bias like people now. so everyone will get the true mark based on her or his achievement or afford. if we carry o this method to have a test, we can save human energy. we do not have to hire many people to inspect the examination hall or class, just live it to the computer to do the human job. make it reality; computer was created to help people do their work. nowadays, computer will do everything to replace human job such as work in factory or industrial areas, so why do computer work for us in educational areas,doesn't it?
The other benefits on secure aspects also is; by using online test, it can be evaluated immediately and the data of of mark will be saved instantly. It is different by manual test or by using paper. After student written up the the test, the paper have tendency to be lost and student can be cheating by change the paper. In short, manually is more difficult and unsecured compare to online test. The history showed that, manually method of test is unsecured. For example, several years ago, a few packet of test paper had lost because the car that contain the paper has been stolen. So, the student have to occupy the test again. It is so terrible and give problem to the student.
This online test is also very convenience and flexible. As i said before, this online test can be taken anywhere , anytime and any situation. It wont give you any pressure of date, place and so on. If you do not comfortable with PC at your lab, you can sit for the exam at your room. Fortunately, you can get more inspires from your own place, except the due time of the exam or test, all of the things of this online test is good for us. i said like that because you will fell rushing and did not confidence. it is because you always see the time on the page,so, immediately you will feel that time is short and nit enough for you. It happened to me before, while i occupied for the online test. I felt that, one hour was not enough for me and i answered the question without enough confidence. Yet, the computer is the honest thing that can't compromise with us. It can not give us more time to answer the test. When the time is up,we need to stop. that is the rule that we have to follow.
In short, online test is better than manually. It gives us experience and perspective toward ICT.
