Last lecture for the year

Today we had our last lecture for the year and we worked on our wikis for most of the time. I am going to miss coming to this class very much, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The end of this course is actually the start of a whole new world. I learnt so many new and interesting things about technology, especially the internet. I am extremely greatful for everything that I have learnt from the course facilitator. Blogging and creating a school library wiki was very enjoyable. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Sandy.

My progress

This week we were taught more technical stuff like how to load a video on to your web page and how to create internal links on your wiki. This morning I successfuly added a video on to one of our wiki's pages. I am extremely impressed with my own progress on our wiki and the progress made regarding my computer skills. Although I am much more comfortable with the computer now, I have realized that I had been underestimating myself a little.

Ecyclopedia Britannica

Today I want to hyperlink an online encyclopedia.

Encarta World English Dictionary

Today I hyperlinked an online dictionary.

A bit of my mind and lots off my chest

Yesterday was the last day of the third term and although it has been a stressful term for all of us, it doesn't give anybody the right to make negative remarks towards others in class. Comments like "Don't laugh at Michael" and "Shame, hy is ook maar net mens" I DO NOT APPRECIATE. There is a big difference between humour and rudeness. It is wicked to speak about somebody in his/her presence as if that person is not there. Anybody may laugh at me, as much as he/she wants. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES! It's not what others think about me that matters. It's what I think about myself that is important to me. And I have never seen myself or anybody else as being more or less of a human being, unless people give me reason to. I mentioned in my profile that I accept everybody for who and what we are, that does NOT mean I tollerate anybody's nonsense or that I have or want to be anybody's/everybody's friend. So you don't have to pity me. Please guys, leave your stinking attitudes at home. We can all do without it. You are putting unnessasary strain on your hearts!
