My last class 23/1/07 - - ~ (AZIMI)

Nothing to comment on our last class since the technical part teaching is what I do for my living. Assembling computer componen is quite easy, all it take just some extra effort and bravery to discover. Even with all the knowledge you have, there stil a lot of thing to learn from that class, like how to past the knowledge you have to other so that they can also be good. Then a question arise, it's worth to teach other the same knowledge you have and compete with them...

Below are two website i recomended for user to search for driver:

1. http://www.driverguide.com

This website is quite user friendly to search for driver. The only problem is you need to register with the website first, yet I found it quite easy. I recommend this website for new user as it provide easy navigating and user friendly environment.

You just need to click on the picture at the center of the website and follow the instruction on the next page. Each picture represent the driver category (Example : printer are categorize under “printer/plotter/multi-office”. When to type the device name in the search box, please used exact device name as the search engine quite nomad.

2. http://www.driverzone.com

This website is similar to the first website in functionality yet different it operating. The website provide link to download the driver at the manufacturer website. The good news is that the driver downloaded is the latest and official provided by the manufacturer. The not really good news is new user may lost track when reaching the manufacturer website. I recommend this website for advance user.

Writer choice:
I chose none of above as I use different method of driver searching. Mostly I use yahoo to search for driver where I will click on the manufacturer website link. I prefer to download driver at the official website as it provide the latest driver. Another reason is if you unfamiliar with internet environment, you may searching driver at the wrong place where they may give you bad driver or maybe the just giving you virus or spam acting your driver. Chose carefully and freely ask the expert for the sake you your computer.

Engage Me or Enrage Me - - ~ (AZIMI)

There are lots of different from the generation we grow up and the generation that we going to teach. We grow from environments with bamboo and jungle still around with television and radio already very facinating thing. The new generation born in world full of technology gadget and internet in they mind and life while we the previous generation learning to catch up with it everyday. Those difference experience in life may lead to miss understanding and communication. This is where the young generation enrage us and at the same time we unable to engage them because we did not understand each other.

Below is a good reference article about what today learner demand. Using the concept Engage Me or Enrage Me, this article explain in why today student turning away from the teacher and why so hard for teacher to reach they student.

Reflection of first lecture ( Thennarasu )

Upon completing the first lesson, we are made to wonder about the current style or approach being used in teaching. It has opened our eyes on the use of new method incorporating new technology as a part of presenting lessons. to engage a student is very important because if not they will shut us out and the objective of the lesson could not be achieved. in order to be a good teacher, we now believe that we should put our fear aside and implement PoEIT and LOST.
