UIR, the last stretch...

These are the final few days before this CDS is over...

Day 9
For today's agenda we were told to write about our dream holiday and include images of the place we wanted to go. I had a problem because, to be honest i have no idea where my dream holiday would be. I had always wanted to go back to the US or australia to visit my siblings who are there, but i want to be somewhere i have never been before. That is why i decided to pick the continent of Europe as i have never really explored that continent.

In addition to that exercise, we also told to compare the ever-rivaling facebook and frienster. We were to show their strength, their weaknesses and see if facebook or friendster would ever replace the face to face communication.

Day 10
Youtube, one of the revlution in this era. So our assignment for the day was to first break out into groups then discuss about how youtube has affected us as a soiecty and how it has affected our whole way of life. I find this assignment interesting because for the first time i actually heard what people really thought of youtube. Plus when asked to think up of improvements for the youtube site, its amazing to know what kind of ideas my peers can come up with.

Day 11
E-learning again...this time the groups would have to do an online wiki based on their own and respective topics. It was fun to see what my other groupmates have done and see what they have find out and think of their own topic. For me, it was hell because my topic was so vague. So i had to use extra resources so that i could do justice to my topic. Doing the wiki itself is ok, trying to snyc timing with my teammate was a brain twister. It was a good thing i saved what i typed into a notepad 1st because when i finally press save on the wiki, my teammates article was on but mine was gone...phew...lucky I smart...:P

Day 12
After e-learning, we had to present what we did in the wiki which i find surprising to hear when i heard my group was the only group with all the member actually completing their wiki

Later on, we had another dicussion forum but this time the topic is on ethical issues like, copryright infringement and even privacy status.

The question was, whether it is ethical to assume a false identity online, and the other is the how and what ethical considerations you would apply...

Reading the opinions of my peers is interesting though I find some a little too harsh...
