SECOND CLASS

For the second class, Dr. Chin started the class by continuing the previous lesson which is WordPress. She gave us much more information on how to use it. In fact, she even invited another lecturer into the class to introduce her about WordPress. She taught us on how to follow her post, to like and to comment on each of her post in her page. 

By the end of the lesson, I became to know how to view other pages from another WordPress, how to create a post, how to like a post and how to comment on a post in a WordPress. Although I was never into WordPress, but Dr. Chin succeeded in convincing me that I should give a chance to WordPress. It is much more interesting to use compared to blogger.com. 

Next, she continues the class by teaching us the types of search engines. Here are the search engines that I have found out. 

(1) web.com

(2) Yahoo.com

(3) Altavista.com

(4) aol search

(5) google.com

(6) Askjeevers.com

(7) hotbot.com

(8) iWon.com

(9) inktomi.com

(10) looksmart.com

(11) lycos.com

(12) netscape.com

(13) dmoz.org

(14) abc.net.au

From this lesson, I finally found out that there are more types of search engines besides Yahoo and Google. There are several types of search engines which are for business, education, children, games, news and others. I will definitely be looking forward to explore all these kinds of search engines on my own. 

FIRST CLASS

For the second semester, Dr. Chin will be teaching us Computer Application in Teaching. She started the class by asking us a few questions. Such as, what have we learned from the previous semester and who taught us this subject on the previous semester? Then, she started to brief us about the proforma and how many marks will be given for our assignment and final exam. 

Next, she teach us about 'WordPress'. She told us that she prefers to use Word Press compared to 'blogspot.com' Then she asked us to sign up for our own Word Press account. She taught us how to use it, how to post in it, how to post pictures in it and most importantly how to post videos in our Word Press. She even taught us how to design our page on Word Press. 

Honestly, I only know two types of application for blog which is Blogspot.com and Tmblr.com, but I came to know about WordPress.com after Dr. Chin first class. I started to explore it and try to design my page so that it will look more creative.

Here is Dr Chin's WordPress page.
