Hi ! It is me again ! Today , i am going to blog about my Wiki experience !
Recently , I was assigned to a group of 5 members to do a research on what are the issues mentioned in the the latest Wiki developments. The 5 members that i am working with in this group assignment are Clarence , XIN YING , Illiana , Joleen and myself.
The significant experience for me working in the group is the way how our works are efficiently distributed and completed. In that assignment, we brainstormed all the points that were mentioned and then we eliminated all those quite irrelevant ones. After which , we will distributed to everyone to elaborate and complete it by a certain date. This shows how our works are efficiently distributed and completed. In addition , another significant experience is that the interaction we had. Through the interaction, we sort of get to know and understand each other more.
As an individual contributer , the experience that I've gained is that what I contributed in the Wiki will be a great help to others as it gives them an idea of what can be elaborated and summarized .
The advice that i would give to the next batch of wiki groups as they start a similar project is that they should do a copy on Microsoft Word before contributing it to the Wiki . This is because the work that you do on the wiki may be overwritten by the another person who posted it earlier than you . ( P.S. i really experience it for my individual assignment and as a result , i completed my assignment at 4 am). Another advice is ALWAYS TO START EARLY !
No, i would not use Wiki for research in my own Diplomas because the information contributed by users may not be accurate and opinions are based on different point of views. So it is not useful using Wiki for my research.

Sooo long since i have blogged about my my EIR.... So sorry !
So today i will blogging about twitter !
So what is twitter?
Based on tweeternet.com, Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers."
In short, twitter allows us to blog about the things happening around us.
How does Twitter enhance my learning in EIR?
Twitter allows me to ask my teacher or fellow students questions about EIR easily as there is not a need to type in formal language and reply on the questions are faster than e-mail due to the consistent update from most of the students. As a result, interaction between teacher and the students would improve tremendously.
By comparing it with my blogging experience using blogspot, i think twitter is the mini version of blogspot as we do not have elaborate about what is happening around us, but summarizing them into the 140 word limit.
For twitter, we can use it as a research purpose by following the users such as CNN , ChannelNewsAsia and etc. These users would tweet about the articles that are happening around the world and some of the articles might be the one we need it for my research . Hence , this shows how twitter can use it as a research purpose.
For BlogSpot , we can use it as a research purpose by reading people' opinions about the topic that we are interested in researching on.
This shows that both twitter and blogspot are useful in research purpose and i really admire the founders of twitter and blogspot ! teeheee

The second part of the blog entry is where I need to evaluate the multimedia website for my dream holidays.
So the website that i am going to evaluate is http://www.spain.info/
The criteria I used to evaluate the multimedia website for my dream holiday is the presentation and arrangement.
For presentation and arrangement criteria, it involves whether the website capture attention or aesthetically pleasing.
In this case, the website capture my attention a lot as it is has all the beautiful sceneries of Spain and it also have video of Spain , therefore , it makes the website very nice and attractive .
As for the presentation , it is easily navigated and each of the links will bring you where you want to access to . For example , if you need to book tickets to Spain , there is a link for you to book tickets. Therefore , i can say that the presentation of the website is really damn awesome.
