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! 😂 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!

vivy yusof is such a girl crush 💙 Hello people! Here we are for the second week of class so let's start fresh and bold alright? 👌 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 . Weblog is usually the one that are frequently updated with latest information and easily accessed by everybody. 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...

For the first class yesterday, Madam Azidatun briefed us a little bit regarding the coursework for this subject, Internet Technologies for Language Learning (ESP6013).
