Week 1 - Reflection


Web services used in week 1

There are lots of new things that I’ve learned through the discussion in the first week of the Web Skills course. Even though I have some experience in integrating web-technologies for my class, but I can easily confirm that the course has given me more insights in organizing essential phase of the technology integration; setting up course guidelines. Setting up the course includes the first stage of getting all the students to fully understand about the objective of the class. In addition to that, the teachers who are in charge of the class should always be responsive to any queries addressed by the students by keeping in mind that integrating this kind of technology are completely new for most of our students. Besides, the technology itself is not always performing at its best. Internet connection, for example, is not always fast, it lags in most of the time. Fast Internet connection is rare in most of the place in various countries, in the city that I live for example, Broadband Internet connection are mostly only available in campuses, and big corporate offices, which those who want to have a reliable personal Internet connection should always pay a relatively expensive cost. The conclusion is that not all of our students can get. Thus, we might need set a steady slow pace at first, and see how they can catch up.

Anybody Can Do with WYSIWYG

The development of the technology of On-line Journal has now taken to a more developed stage. Before, web pages were developed by companies and web developers who has expertise in scripting hyper-text mark-up language and other web scripting language. To get a content on the Internet costs money. But later, as the market is reaching a wider Internet user, without spending money out of ones wallet, anybody can have their own personal website, where the owner can easily administrate, organize the contents and getting copyright of anything they publish without getting confused by the scripting.

Blogger, simple yet powerful

While having nice refreshing sips of traditional coffee in "warung kopi"(*) with wireless internet connection, I managed to play around with the look of my blog. In addition to that, I made a manga version of my profile picture. Check it out!
