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.

dear Elin,
you are more open and talkative online ya!. But I know you better now. Yes all the assignment to post your comments in blog is purely academic but now you can post other things as well and invite friends to leave a line or two. There is also a program on national Television which explain how to blog and the ethics of blogging. YOu have passed and need to improve further your grammar and postings. All the best
