Here I am again. I'm going to blog about Twitter and how it enhanced my learning during the journey of EIR.

As we all know, Twitter has become more and more popular just like Facebook. Twitter is also like a blog but this is a short version of blog. This is to express your feelings at that moment while blogging, you need to describe what just has happened and you have to update it at home.

Using Twitter in EIR class allows me to get to know them better. In class, we did not talk that much as we were all busy doing our research and using Twitter and following them is an opportunity for me to communicate with them. This is also allows me to know and to share what we have learnt in the class. Twitter is everywhere even I can update it through my phone.

Not all researches can be found in blogspot. Most of the entry are by people who always give opinions about a certain things. In class, I don't seem to find any research on Twitter. But what I know is, both Blogspot and Twitter are use to express feelings and thoughts.

I'm back again! Hello! :)

Last few years, I remember watching an Indonesian movie which took place in Paris. I was so amazed by the places there in the movie. They went to popular places of Paris and I fall in love with the Eiffel tower scene where the guy proposed his girl to become his soul mate. It was so touching  that I wish I was the girl. Hehe. From that point of a time, I really dream of going to Paris one day. And that's my "My Dream Holiday: Paris".



Since I'm interested in going to Paris one day, I found a website,<a href="http://www.paris-tourism.com/index.php">Paris Tourism</a> to really know what's the best places, deals etc in Paris.

When I clicked on one of the link "Paris City Tour" it will directed me to another website with all the tour packages and informations.  It also include the price of each tours so that the tourists can go to the tours beyond their budgets.

When I clicked on the "Popular Places in Paris", it showed me different places in Paris. Since I'm interested in Eiffel Tower, I clicked on to the Eiffel Tower icon to see what's inside.

It then showed me informations and history of Eiffel. I think this is good as I can know more about Eiffel Tower before going there.

Second Life to Paris.....

Reached to the Paris Eiffel Region.

I've decided to take view of Paris from the Tower and I get this. :)

I do hope I can go to Paris one day.

It's time for me to update of what I've learnt on practical 7. This is regarding the Citizen Journalism as well as Stomp.com.

I think Citizen Journalism is a good way for people to share opinions of a certain topics online. This is an interesting thing to either read or reflect of what they see and share it online. Besides watching the news or read on an article, readers can also read opinions from other citizens especially students from their blog or their own domain websites. An advantage of this is that students can interact with the people who have read their blogs and they can comment it based on what they have read. Not only commenting but they can give wonderful feedbacks or suggestions too.

We were assigned to form a group of 5 to 6 to evaluate Stomp.com based on Purpose, Coverage, Authority, Accuracy and Currency. For the first time in EIR lesson, we evaluate Stomp.com as a group. Each of us gave an interesting comments about the website. We just picked the best comment and put it in a table. As usual, different groups have different types of answer when asked by our tutor. It is interesting when come to a group work. :)


Now, I would like to evaluate the website based on Purpose and Currency of the website. In my opinion after browsing and reading Stomp.com, I think that the purpose of this website is to let other people know what have just happened to the surrounding which are not based on the local news on TV as well as a news article. Most of the contents are based on what others have seen and posted it on the website. The currency of the website is always new and updated. You can see it by looking at the date posted and most of the contents are  posted everyday with different kind of news and pictures taken in Singapore or from other countries.

If I were to create my own Stomp based on my topics, "Trends in Spending Habits of Youth", I will make sure that there will be a useful informations and helpline for those who really need it. Maybe, I will add on a quote from other's reference to my website.

I will also ensure that my website will always be updated with current informations based on the reference. I will make sure that every week, I will post on tips on how to spend wisely for the youth. It will include the website or advert on sales so that youth can know where and what is the sale is all about.

I'm back again after so long I didn't update my blog. 2 weeks of break and here I am on another mission. :)

First of all, I don't think invisible web (databases) is an effective search tool because it is not that easy to search for the topic that I wanted to search. However, the interface of the website is quite good because it show how relevant the website is. It is also show what type of file they store for us to download. It is either HTML or PDF file. This is useful for me to download and to see the relevancies of the webpages.

Yes. I will use the invisible web (database) for my respective diploma as most of the webpages are from the TP and it is easier for me to search for the related topics that I wanted to search. I believe that the previous batch of students have used the database for their research. Therefore, it will useful for me to use the invisible website for my respective Diploma.

Let's proceed on to the Wiki's collaboration. I find it is an interesting as lots of people can share their research and post it on the wiki. This is to let other people including me to learn more about a certain topic which are open for a discussion. I just posted my own research regarding the youth of spending habits of youth and I hope, I'll get a reply soon!

Recently, I managed to view Donovan's blog and I think, this is the best blog ever because he keep updated with his own opinion and reflection regarding the practical. I find it interesting and all the opinion are different from me. Also, his blog is well manage and it's organized.

Aww. That's all from me for this week practical. I hope you people will enjoy! :) See you guys with more updates.
