✿3rd entry is up! Role of Computer, Search Engine&CMC✿
Today i have learnt useful knowledge and i
want to share it with all of you. Madam Azidatun had taught us a lot. We have
learnt about the role of computer in communicative approach. There are three
types which are computer as tutor, computer as stimulus and computer as
tool.
Computer as tutor- computer is used to
teach the learner
Computer as stimulus- computer is use to
stimulate the learner in various aspects
(writing, critical thinking and discussion)
Computer as tool- to use certain software
and understand language (publisher, Word processor and Excel spreadsheet)
Furthermore, i also learnt a lot of
information about search engines and online database. Search engine is a
software system that is designed to carry out web search which means it enables
people to search the wold wide web in a systematic way. There are 4 parts of
search engine namely Database, Web Crawler or Spider, User Interface and
Information Retrieval System (IRS)
Next is CMC. CMC stands for Computer
Mediated Communication. CMC is any form communication or interaction between
two or more people via separate computers through network communication or in
other words CMC is a process through that people can interact, exhcange,
perceive information, culture, thought, idea, history, knowledge, mores and
social issues with each other via computer networking by tools E-mails, blog,
Wikis, Chat rooms, audio and video conferencing without considering various
perspectives of CMS in studies.
There are two types of CMC which are asynchronous
cmc and synchronous cmc. As for asynchronous cmc, communication is not
synchronised. Furthermore, messages are not exchanged and replied to
immediately. For example, emails, forum and message boards as well as blogs.
Next, synchronous cmc. Communication between participants is synchronised.
Messages can be exchanged and replied to immediately. It also allows for direct
communication. For instance, internet chat rooms, messenger, video or audio
conferencing. In our class, Madam Azidatun had showed us on how to use Google
Doc for Collaborative learning and it was such an amusement. We tried to fill
our group information and it was so effective and everyone was excited using
it. I am looking forward to use Google Doc in future for my discussion or a
group assignment because it is really helpful. After all, this week was very
hectic yet fun!
