Lecture:
Week 9 and almost at the end of this course! At the start of the lecture we looked at a youtube video of power points and how to make a good one/not to make a bad one. It was a comedian who made it and was a good way to start the day and the lecture because it got you interested. The slides consisted of information on applications, protocols and benefits of ICT (Information Communication Technology).
Communication today is vastly different compared to 20years ago because of new information and communication technology. Technology continues to grow every minute.
Communication can take place between four different types of networks:
- chain networks
- circle networks
- wheel networks and
- all-channel networks
Examples of ICT use are:
- Mobile telephone
- Video and tele-conferencing
- ipods, mps, lap-tops
- Electronic mail
- Multi-media communications
Tasks:
My first task was to go to: http://www.google.com/ then go to the groups tab and enter a search term that interests me. I typed in Muay Thai and found different forums about different aspects and topics on muay thai (similar to kickboxing for those who don't know).
The second site i looked at was: http://podcasts.yahoo.com/ and then: http://www.ecu.edu.au/library/services/podcasts.html This gave me audio files from what i type in.
This would benefit university students when needing to find different sources of information or interviews for assignments. Prodcasts can be downloaded and played on your MP3 player or through your PC.
