Week 9
Lecture Summary
In this lecture we learnt more about communications, and mainly ICT, it explained the different type of communication that take place in the world and also a few examples of ICT communication: mobile video conferencing, ipods, MP3, computers, email and multi media communication. During this lecture we also found out some of the problems that are associated with e-mail, such as its one dimensional and not good for complaints. It also showed emotions that you can use while communicating on the internet. Usually there is a lot of communication for university students in today’s society. This good because these way students are more involved and kept up to date with their studies. I feel that communication in ICT is essential to everyday living in this century, ICT is important to my education and i have learnt that without it would be very hard at university.
Summary of Tutorial
This week in the tutorial we were able to complete 4 tasks that were based on web-base ICT they were:
1) The first task was to search through Google groups and reporting some of the groups that the engine returned. I choose to search about soccer.
2) The second task was also related to the first task which we had to look through the groups returned by the search term that we used and we had to investigate messes contains within. The group option that I chose was about what whether woman’s are better soccer players then men?, and there was a lot of arguments against it and many had strong belief that men are a lot more superior with soccer.
3) The third task we were required to visit some podcast site and listen to one or two podcasts.
4) The fourth and the last task was to answer questions about the potential benefits of podcast for university students. A benefits that instantly come to mind is that lectures could be delivered via podcasts given that visual aids are not required.
Readings 1 Summary
This reading was about 14 do’s and don’ts, and this also explained things which are suitable and unsuitable when emailing, i think when writing an email it is good to get straight to the point and make it simple for the reader and not so long like an essay. This reading showed and helped us with writing appropriate emails, using headings, a title, and correctly addressing the recipient. The email should make appoint and be effective as possible because sometime people tend to write to much information and not give a clear idea therefore it is also important to be clear and use correct grammar and spellings.
Reading 2
The second reading talked about Spam. Spam is unwanted e-mail advertisements, over 60% of emails are spam. This problem personally annoys me because I receive a lot of unwanted emails daily. People also can get a lot of spam and unwanted emails through UBE and this reading also came to identify ways of avoiding the spam and also said something should be done about it
