'''Last Entry From Me About This Course,,,

1. What do you like about blogging?
Honestly, this semester really taught me to write entry or known as blogging. Before this I no nothing about this. Blogging really attracts me because through it, I can see and read my friends' blog, about their interest, their profile, their ideas, and their creativity in decorating their blog. Not only that, blogging really help me as well as my friends to share ideas. I also can leave comments on others and receive feedback from them about my entries in my blog. So, through blogging, our relationship become strengthen as we help each others in developing in daily life. Thank you my friends...

2. What you do not like about blogging?
For me, blogging is good. However, if it is being a must or as a task, the quality will not up to the standard. What I mean here is, usually blogging becomes a place to a person to share feelings and ideas. And also it is depending on their emotion to write any entry. Besides that, a person also need to ask one's URL to open his/her blog. So, if he/she does not get one's URL, he/she cannot open the blog.

3. What have you gained from blogging? 4. How?
Blogging really helps me in my language skills as well as writing skills because every word is come from our own, and not from others. So, in order to pour out my ideas, I need to plan my own sentences. Not only that, blogging also helps me in critical thinking and improved thought processes as I need to think what are the things that I want to write and what are the things that I can comment on others. And of course blogging helps me in my ICT skills. Now I know how to embed videos to my blog...

5. What do you like about this course?
Throughout this course, I can learn how to edit photos, audios, and videos which are important for us to use them as resources for teaching and learning process. I also can learn what are others resources that I can use instead of 'chalk and talk' method. And one more thing is this course taught me to write entries through blogging.

6. What you do not like about this course?
Hmmm... What I can say is this course really 'eat' my money. I need to spend much money to buy CDs, papers, and ink. As for now we do not get allowance for stationary, we really suffer in using money. However, perhaps our hard work will be paid with best results. All the best to you!!

7. What do you learnt from this course? 8. And what did you not expect?
As I said before, this course taught me to edit photos, audios, and videos. And all these are useful for me to use as resources in T&L process soon. Hopefully the children really enjoy it. I also learned about e-portfolio which is through blogging. Perhaps I can apply portfolio as one way in assessing in my future classroom.

9. What have you expected but do not learn from this course?
Based on the name of the course which is 'Using and Developing Resources in Primary School Classroom', what comes to my mind is this course will be about the methods and materials that I can use in teaching. I did not expect that it would be about technology as we also will learn another subject which is 'Using Technology in Primary School Classroom'. Then I realized that both of these courses are almost the same but in different aspects, they do have differences.

10. If you can change anything about this course, state what is it and elaborate.
I will change the way the students will submit their assignments. As what we have done, we need to print out all the powerpoint presentation. So, what I want to change is, my students will juzt need to submit their assignments through softcopy such as e-mail or just burn into CD as this course is also about technology. Thus, through this, students will apply their computing skills.

11. On a scale of 1-10, please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.
Before I undergo this course, I would rate myself in rate of 4 and after undergoing this course I would rate myself in rate of 8.
