I'm back

I have been quite busy with exams, now that I'm done with exams, I'm back..

cross roads

We have finally come to the cross roads, and one has to pause and reflect back. It has really been a long journey from web 2.0, library 2.0, wikis, creation of our weblogs to finally creating our websites using front page.
I feel so knowlegable and more confident with the web and computers. Thanks to Sandy Zinn for guiding us through the rough and interesting journey. I really enjoyed using e-learning, I think it is quite handy, the part that impressed me the most the the up-loading of assignment, and the cut of time, when you are late you are late there is nothing you can do. I've also learnt something about the knowledge society especially about the part that I summarised which was network societies, knowledge and new technologies. I have learnt a lot from the slide show presentations, from open access to digital divides of all sorts and intellectual property and piracy.
My assignment on indigenous knowledge and intellectual property was a hard nut to crack, but I learnt quite a lot from it. Before my assignment I did not know that indigenous knowledge was a field on its own with lots of research by social scientists,informational professionals and phamaciticals, and other scientists. and that there are debates going on internationally about indigenous knowledge and intellectual.
I now know the importance of indigenous knowledge especially to phamaciticals, lately I've develop an interest in reading ingrediants of products, especially the facial products, just to see which plants they used.

I also enjoyed every moment that I spent with my classmate, they were so supporting and loving.thank you to you all.

I cannot say bye, because I believe that we just reached the cross roads, not the end of the road,  because learning never ends.

procrastination

 I now understand my friend Patricia's famous quote,  that says "procrastination is the thief of time", indeed postponing or deferring may work for later has stole my time. Now I wish the day was 30 hours or more. When we were given a extension for our blog and website I stopped attending to them, now that the due date is closer again, I'm now running around like a headless chicken, there is also another major assignment from LIS management that needs attention, and it is due next week There is no internet at our residents, so I have to queue  up for  computers in the library , but I could have done my work comfortably well on time. 

web creation

for the last four weeks we have be learning how to create a website using front page, and I have found front page to be more userfriendly as compared to to html. when I was doing 4th year we created website using html, it was quite a night mare because if you missed a dot or something like that you could not the whole thing does not show, when you try to preview, atleast with front page, we do not use codes, we use everyday language.
Even though I find front page to be more user friendly than Html, I'm still struggling to come up with want I really want.

uploading photos

for you to upload photos in Flickr, you need to a yahoo account. After opening a yahoo account, then you could open a flickr one, from there you can follow instruction on how to upload photos, it is not a complicated process.
