Why rainbow? This is because I have made my decision to tell you guys a story about a twin, Mkabayi and Mmama who defeated ghosts in the forest entitled The Rainbow Cloud for my first baby podcast guys!  Shamelessly I admit that I never know what exactly a podcast is! πŸ˜‚ Alright back on track. Only after this class that I knew what a podcast is 😎 (smart enough huh) So for today I want to share with you guys so that you guys would not be like me. Podcast is actually the combination of iPod and broadcast. It is the audio or file that can be broadcast through the internet. Not only that we can use it in our education, but also to listen to our favourite music! This podcast thing can be said as an alternative for someone who are not so into reading so he/she could listen and also learn at the same time. Technology does really ease our life! All you need are microphone and also audio editor such as Audacity or Bear Audio Editor. After you finish recording your podcast,

Do you have any idea of what is exactly CMC is? It is actually the abbreviation of Computer Mediated Communication. Any form of communication or interaction between two or more people via separate computers through network connection is considered CMC 😺 People nowadays use different kind of technology to communicate with each other and not only limited with writing letters.  With this rapid development of technology, people could communicate with people from even different continent. All that we need is the technology devices such as smartphone or laptop and the internet connection and all set! Life has been made easier and there is no more excuse for not socializing with other people. All that matters nowadays is time. Some of the CMC might take times to be replied.

Hello everyone! So for today's topic I would like to share with you guys about search engine and online database *drum roll please. Alright here we go πŸ’¨ Search engine is actually a web tool that helps you to find information worldwide by entering the keyword on the website that contain its database. In a simpler words, it is a tool that enable us to google up things - recipe, good place to visit and also SHOPPING 😎! these are symbols for popular search engine Life has become easier since people before us developed this technology. Everything is at the tip of our finger. We can search for information within seconds by using internet. As for us, the students, we can always use this search engine in finishing our assignments. We also can travel the world by using this search engine. By just searching for images of the places, you could see another town and even country through your screen. Interesting muchπŸ’ƒ?  However, it is always necessary for us to use internet wi

What is CALL?

not this call of course πŸ‘€ The moment that my lecturer mentioned about CALL, the first thing that came right into my mind was that call - yes, phone call πŸ˜‚ Of course we are not going to talk about phone call. CALL that was being discussed was the Computer Assisted Language Learning. The CDs at the back of our textbook during primary school is one of the example of CALL #howtimeflies If you could recall the Padlet thingy that we used during previous semester - yes, that one is also a good example of CALL. There are actually 4 different t ypes of CALL programmes which are CALL specific software , web-based learning materials , generic software and computer-mediated communication (CMC) programme . This CALL program actually could help us not only by providing immediate feedback but also beneficial for the learners especially the one who can only learn by using repetition.

Here we are for the second week of class so let's start fresh and bold alright? πŸ‘Œ Previously, my lecturer shared with us some facts about what exactly a blog is so as for today I am very glad to tell you guys that there are actually 4 types of blog which are weblog , tutor blog , class blog and also learner blog .

For some people, this weblog act as their online diaries where they share things about themselves or maybe their activities. As for tutor blog, it is made up of syllabus material and things related to education. It is accessible by the lecturers but not the students. However, the students can still express their thought in the comments section. Just like ours - https://cloveclouds.blogspot.my. For collaborative discussion space, we usually use the class blog where students could also be the author
