First Lesson of IS
Info com studies is held every Tuesday. Last week, I had my second term, first lesson on info com and we were told to do blog postings. In this blog post, I would write what I had learnt last week.
Firstly we were given some time to do some brief introduction and we were introduced to our IS web new media website. Then, the real lesson started. From the 57 PowerPoint slides that were explained to us, I had picked up many things about Internet 2.0 including the history of the Internet, know what URL stands for, netiquette on the Internet and many more. I found it really helpful as usually when I play games or whatsoever on the Internet, the phrase URL is commonly used but many of us do not know the real meaning behind it and they do not check it out themselves. But today after the lesson, I finally knew what it was.
The part of the lesson that I found most interesting was learning how to create a blog and how to change the blog skin of my blog. After watching several videos and knowing how to change the blog skin, I went home to try it out myself. Although I took a long time, I still managed to find the right blog skin and I was really satisfied that I had learnt something during my IS lesson.
In this lesson, we only learnt about blogging and Internet 2.0 and who knows what we would be learning the next lesson. And I am really looking forward to the next lesson.
Hope to post another blog post soon!

Introduction
Hi everyone,
This is my very first blog post on my IS blog. In case you were wondering I.S is the short form for info com studies. We were told to do create a blog and post blog postings that are to be graded. So please give related comments and hope you will enjoy reading my blog postings.
First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I am Chua Zhong Zhi from Class 1A2. Info comm is not really a new subject to me as I also had computer lab lessons in my primary school. But, the huge difference is about the things that we are learning. Previously in term 1 this year, we did C ++ Programming which I found interesting but very challenging. This term, we are learning about the Internet 2.0.
Basically I do know the basics of how to use the computer and various Internet programmes and websites as I use the computer almost everyday to check my student message board, etc... But there are still many things that I still do not know about the Internet yet, for example blogging. At first, I did not know how to change the blog skin of my blog, but thanks to my IS teacher, I manged to change the blog skin to the current one. I am not in any IT CCA and I hope to learn more about the Internet and other uses through this term and more about this topic.
Hope that you would look forward to my next blog posting!
