Teacher Tube
Helping hand
the different between writing on a paper and writing using computer is the computer will automatically check for any mistakes in spelling or word order.. i know my English is very poor but by the help of auto correct function, it changed my perspective of writing in English...
I admit that my English i far behind those fellas whom used English without any difficulty and sometimes i envy them...
but if i keep on writing using computer, i think i will improve because of the helping hand which we did not realize sometimes....Technology do change and help people to lead a better life...if you do not have someone to help you in writing in English, i think the computer will be the most reliable friend to ask a help...
Not to forget, writing in blog and expressing it through your post also helps to improve your English Language..and i found out that the reason why the lecturers ask us to write a blog is because they want use to express, reflex and train our self in writing and build up our self - confidence..im out!
SMARTBOARD
Then time goes by and i am exposed to it every week...and i found out that actually the smartboard is very useful..a lot of function which makes life easier were build in this simple and sleek tool. one can write while surfing the internet.. the most interesting tool that i found out..and some other features such as designing interactive slide show to be used as teaching aids and etc.
Overall, my perception towards smartboard had changed during the end of the semester and the weakness that i found in smartboard is the calibration tool which need to re- calibrate it everytime you move or change the position of the board..it irritated me... THUMBS UP FOR SMARTBOARD!

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguishes the Internet is its use of a set of protocols called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP protocol.
For many Internet users, electronic mail (e-mail) has practically replaced the Postal Service for short written transactions. Electronic mail is the most widely used application on the Net. You can also carry on live "conversations" with other computer users, using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). More recently,
The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web"). Its outstanding feature is hypertext, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are "clickable." If you move the pointer over a spot on a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you can click and be transferred to another site.
Using the Web, you have access to millions of pages of information. Web browsing is done with a Web browser, the most popular of which are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The appearance of a particular Web site may vary slightly depending on the browser you use. Also, later versions of a particular browser are able to render more "bells and whistles" such as animation, virtual reality, sound, and music files, than earlier versions.
