Flickr

You guys cannot believe I spent the whole day to today trying to open my flickr account and sending my flickr photo here. I wanted to my slideshow gadget to show my flickr photos, but I will try that again next time, today I will settle for this, I'm so tired now. Please guys help..

what I realised from this exercise is that you dont have to be intelligent to be computer literate, you just need time, and have patience to fail and try again. for the first time I can relate with my high school maths teacher's quote that "you will never master maths if you dont give yourself time to practice the sums". just like maths you need time with the computer.
This ICT course has been quite an eye opener for me, I'm becoming more and more confident with the computer, and the internet now.

about that photo: that is me and my work mate, last year in one of the rural areas in Botswana , we  were conducting a performance audit assignment at that village.

Web evaluation

I once in a while shed a tear over a touching movie, but never had I shed a tear over an article,. Today I shed a tear when I was trying to evaluate the Genocide web sites that we were given in class to evaluate.Instead of evaluating, I read those touching stories. I always heard about this genocides on TV, but today they got into me..
 I always thought websites were mainly there for marketing purposes, especially for business people. atleast today I learnt that  a website is also a good tool for sensitizing people about important issues.

I think a week is not enough for school break..I really enjoyed myself during the short vac..Today in class I got to appreciate that we are very diverse,I was was fascinated by the way 2 different people presented the same topic in different approaches. I really learnt a lot from these presentations. Even though I was scared I also presented and was talking about debates around indigenous knowledge and intellectual property. I think the it was quite ok.
