I'm very happy about Wednesday beacause we can learn many things about IS. In the third lesson, Mr. Cheong taught us about html. We used HTML most of the time and that's when we make a webpage. So we need to understand HTML. Many people may think that making a webpage is very easy but it's not. You need to know many things about it to make a great webpage.
Actually, HTML sands for HyperText Markup Language. It can be written in Notepad. There's many code structure's contents. I'm not able to write the structure because it is not allowed by Blogger.
Of course, you can also add pictures and links to the webpage. But, I'm sorry that I can't add the link and picture example. If I add it, the picture or the link wil appear.
Actually, HTML is only the first part. The second part is about CSS. Teacher will teach us that next week.
I'm really sorry that the information given is not too much. I can't add information about HTML because it will make effect on my blog. Still, I'm really sorry. Want to know more about this? Just go to http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=24327061.
This is my second lesson of IS. It is forum discussions on social media, IP and blog/website. First, social media is the social impact of new media technologies. Then, it's the IP. Actuaaly, IP are ethical issues on media usage and intellectual property. Lastly, the blog & website is about the differences between blogs and websites.
We are to do one of the three discussions. We were asked to pen down our opinions and responds in the forum. I was selected to do the third one, differences between blogs and websites. Besides of participating in the selected forum, We're to comment on one of the other group and your group too.
Now, let's talk more about my discussions. Actually, the title of the forum is ''Blog or Wbsite? Which is Better?'' It's a video by Lisa, the creator of 2createwebsite.com. We need to use our own words and write down our opinions and responds in the reply box. The video is saying about all the advantages and disadvantages of blogs and websites. Mostly are like the blogs are a little stressful because the readers expect new posts each week. So, the blogger will need to post more. But with the websites, it's more ie references. It needed update maybe once a month. Then, they said that the website is more relaxed. There are also many other advantages and disadvantages of both sides. If you want to know more, just go to http://http//www.youtube/.com/watch?v=Jq1wqtteb3I&feature=player_embedded to watch the video.
Now, I'll briefly introduce you to another two of the discussions. One title is called ''Intellectual Property - Is Copy Right?'' It is a video that teaches us not to copy things from the internet apartfor personal use. We should always seek the acknowledge of the copyright folder. It's wrong to copy others work without seeking permission or give acknowledges or credts to the ''owner''. So, it's point is to tell us not to copy things without permission or giving out crdits to those who owns the work.
Coming up is the ''Social Impact of New Media''. It's about the technology nowadays. In every month, week or even day, technology are being invented or upgraded. Without technology, we'll need to d most of the things ourselves and that will make us tired. With technology, our work is now reducing. It made our lifes better and better, in continuos. But there are also some disadvantages of it. One of it is hat men lost their jos because thetechnologies are replacing them.
If you are really interested in these discussions and want to look at it. Just go to http://webnewmedia.ning.com/video and press videos. Except one, all of the videos are about IS.
Yesterday was my first IS class. I posted this late because there's other things to handle. As you know, our first lesson is The Internet & WWW. Our teacher is Mr. Kent. He introduced himself with a video. The video can be seen at the website that Mr. Kent created. After that, he showed us his own website ( http://webnewmedia.ning.com/ ). He also taught us about The Internet &WWW with a presentation (http://www.docstoc.com/docs/21243409/TheInternetandWWW).
This is a 57 paged presentation. There are many objectives in this presentation, such as the history of Internet, types of websites, how to access and connect to the Internet, analyze IP address, the purpose of Internet, types of e-commercee, the steps required for web publishing and more. Firstly, the Internet originated from APRANET. It allows scientistat different locations to share information with each other. It also functions if part of the network were disabled. At 1969, there are only 4 host nodes in the world. But today, the number of host noeds have exceeded 200 million. So the Internet has grown a lot compared to the past.
There are three ways to access to the Internet. They are ISP, OSP and Wireless Internet Service Provider. Everyboby might have saw WWW before, but they might don't know what does WWW stands for. It stands for World Wide Web. It is a world wide collection of electronic documents and each of them is called a Web page. Besides of WWW, we also used web browser oftenly. They are programs that allows you to view Web pages. There are different kinds of web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, Opera and Netscape.
When our teacher asked us what is URL. We don't know how to answer. It stands for Unifrom Resource Collector. It is web server that delivers the Web page to your computer. They are 9 basic types of websites. They are portal, news, infromational, business/marketing, educational, entertainment, advocacy, blog and personal. The presentation provides more information than this blog. If you are interested, just click the address above.
I felt that Mr. Kent's teaching was very interesting. I learned more about Internet & WWW after his class. I hope the next class will come soon, really looking forward to it.
