2nd Week

2nd week of PBEY3102, I am ready to accept and absorb new things from today’s lecture. As the first week, this week seems to have its speciality. This week we were introduced to ‘Touch typing’, Skydrive, and Moyea. All the three things introduced this week is also unfamiliar to me. As usual I have to listen carefully to Pn. Foziah’s lecture in order to understand these things.

Firstly, ‘Touch tying’ is a typing skill without looking at the keyboard. Typing without looking at the keyboard? OMG, another herculean task for me. I even make mistakes when I look at the keyboard but now I have to learn to type without looking at the keyboard. How am I going to type without looking at the keyboard? I was really threatened because I could hardly type without looking at the keyboard. Luckily, Pn. Foziah taught us on how and where to place our fingers on the keyboard in order to type without looking at the keyboard. Besides, she also gave us the ‘Typing Test’ software in order to practise typing using both hands and also without looking at the keyboard.

Next, we were introduced to Skydrive. Skydrive is a place where we can store our files and share it with our friends.

On the other hand, by using Moyea, we can create and customize web player which can be embedded in multiple platforms like blogs, websites, forums and so on.

Lastly, we were given a survey questionnaire. The survey was basically about our skills and ability in applying and using the current technological development.

From the today’s lecture and the questionnaire, I realised that, I need to learn more in order to be aligned with current technological development.
