Summary & Personal Reflections
Com 125 Weekly Final Blog Entry
Blogging
Blogging
In this class, i learned how to blog. This alone, has allowed me to experience how blogging enables individual's like myself to share new ideas, receive updates from friends, google also allows me to ad sense, RSS from other bloggers whom i have never met, and finally, creatively decorate or design in various blog skins, blog text, to suit my own preference. Great Experience from blogging!!!!
Well, this course gave me the opportunity to accquire new knowledge about the Internet and definately, changed my perspective about the Internet. Not only have I gained a deeper understanding of the power of Social Medias, the empowerment of doing E-Commerce, but also, how business organizations engage in E-Business to improve their company's business strategies.
Additionally, appreciate and perhaps use the available Internet Tools to further leverage on my online communication aspects. Be it, blogs, to Instant Messaging and to Internet Phones, teleconferencing to skype, to many more...
As an undergraduate, Com 125 gave me new opportunities and avenues to supplement my research findings using the Internet Search Engines, web browsing, and using google as a means of added advantage for news, information, updates, and latest trends.
In particular, knowing that the Internet has impacts on society be it economical, sociological, political, and psychological impacts which are very prevalent today all over the world. Also, i have learnt of the DANGERS of the Internet, when it involves Privacy issues, and security issues where everyone is vulnerable to sites which are promoting radical extreme notions to go against society and be deviant.
In conclusion, attending lectures conducted by you sir (Mr Abel Choy) was both interactive and informative. We were always encouraged to contribute ideas and participate actively throughout your lectures. In addition, your videos (loved them all) taught us alot on podcasting, blogging,online virtual worlds, tools for E-business, E-commerce, social medias!!!, latest technology and others.
Its been a wonderful journey being under the guidance of your teaching sir, and i just want to conclude by saying thank you for all the lectures and all the smiles.
P.S. : the movie making week was also fun!! we all looked hilariously funny after posting onto youtube!!!
