I have known Internet Explorer since I first engaged in  internet activities. Wherever I have worked in, Internet Explorer has been the default browser. However, I did the experiment I was asked to (change browser for one week), with the idea in mind of confirming my thoughts about the universality, suitability, friendliness of Internet Explorer. I changed by Google Chrome, and you know somthing?...... it was not as bad after all!!!

Google Chrome is livelier in colors and a lot friendlier with Google (THE serch engine I use). I decided to keep on working with it as long as a new browser knocks at my door!

 

TRY IT OUT: LESSON 2/ MY REFLECTIONS

We are definetely working with i-generations. Students at present are a hundred percent more visual than what we were when students. Having the option of acquiring knowledge through words or through images, they will always prefer images (only).

I downloaded a complete definition of what the Beaufort Scale was; however, they were a lot more interested in the images depicting the descriptions given by the words.

The exercise was very enriching because students became interested in speaking about their own experiences and feelings regarding traveling in foul weather. It  also gave way to laughing and creating a nice environment to work in, specially when we saw the animation of the house being blown away by beaufort scale-12 wind.

As the atmosphere allowed it, we closed down with this video

My favorite definition of

Blog: Derivative of "weblog." A series of entries to an online journal, posted in some chronological order. Sometimes used, incorrectly, by writers to describe discussion forums or even all websites not affiliated with offline publishers. A blog can be written by an individual or a group. It can allow comments to entries or not.
