Reflection by Samantha Chan

1) The use of blogs for learning purpose


At the beginning, I have not idea why does the course require student to use weblog to submit homeworks or presentation summary. I found its benefits gradually. (1) First of all, it provides chances for viewers to understand different angle from one topic. (2) Secondly, it is convenient for viewers to review each summary anywhere any moment. It is so great that knowledge will not be bounded by time and place as the discussions are held in the different tutorial classes. (3) It encourages students to interact with other schoolmates. It is quite interesting to know each others different perspectives.

2) Whether you regard yourself as a cyborg or not?


Yes, I am! Using internet is very common in nowadays, no matter the purpose is academic or personal. Everyone contains an online identity. For example, through using the webct unit, eveyone/ student has to log-in with its assigned usename, Teachers could check the student attendance via its sequence of log-in. That code /reference is our identity, not only the reality identity, but also a representation of the online identity.

On the other hand, like using the MSN, the online status represents one;s existance. Therefore, we are all mixed with the online and offline identity. Therefore, I think I am a cyborg no matter in which aspect.

3) What you most liked or not about the unit in general?

I think the topics that has taught is quite organised and co-related. The topic have helped us to develop angles on understanding the reality and virtual reality.
