My experience on group wiki

In this week's lesson, I was tasked to post our findings and opinions on the topic Cyber Bullying as a group. This is my first time taking part in wiki and also as a group. The method that we used to contribute as a whole group is to give our opinions and comments on the topic and then put all of our work together to post on the wiki.

I feel that it is a brand new experience sharing my own and group's opinions with other readers on the internet and is defintely a good learning experince for me. I can get to read on other people's view and give my comments too. It will help on my research work and i think it will be better if the post is originated from lecturers or experts because I believe that their comments are more accurate since they have better knowledge.

One of the most challenging experience is to find the statistic evidence to support that cyber bullying is becoming more common nowadays in order to make my posting more interesting. Some research work has to be done and I had spend quite a lot of time doing that. Another challenging part is to consolidate all our work to take out repeated or similar comments. This is only necessary if we are working as a group.

I will encourage next batch of students to use wiki as one of the research source as it is a good way to collect many information on the related topic in a short time.

My dream Hoilday

Going overseas for holiday is my dream since young. There are so many places I want to go such as Eiffel tower in France, Mount Fuji and Kyoto in Japan.
Eiffel Tower, France
Hot Spring in Kyoto, Japan
I have chosen these countries as my holiday destinations is because of the culture and food in the country. In France, I will be able to find bread, wine, cheese, and dessert everywhere. There are many amazing architectures in France such as castle. The reason why I want to pick up French is also bacause I will be able to communicate well in the future if I have a chance to go France. In Japan, I can try the famous hot spring in the Japanese ryokan which I am sure its going to be a great experience. If I go there during the winter season, I can experience snow weather whichI have never experience before. Last but not least, I can enjoy my favourite cuisine in the local restaurant.

The photos above was taken from the travel related websites. The criteria that I used to evaluate the websites are coverage. The website allows me to find out more about the icons, accommodations, transportation and food in the country. I can also find photos of beautiful sceneries of the country and also navigations to other travel agencies.

By browsing through the webstites, I get to know more about my dream holiday destination. I hope that  there will be chances to go to the my dream destinations in the future.
