After taking care of the kids, one by one sick (flu, fever, cough and lost of appetite - signs and symptoms looks like H1N1) :-(. Felt tired and long time never update my blog already.

During attending Dr. Sue Jenning course last year, I was told that there will be a course coming up soon. I decided I would attend this course. When BOLD send email to me regarding this course, I just signed up without knowing what it is. I did not prepared myself when I walked in. I felt so lost when Alex asked us to form questions, and my english was very poor, being a chinese ed-student, and that made me scared to say/write out things. But anyhow, in the end of the e-learning full module, in order to seek for my answers I need to trouble them and I discovered that they are so considerate, they taught me alot of things and also gave me alot of compliments too.

I learned how to:
SKYPE - to online conferencing, send attached file, chat etc
GMail - to do usual emailing
GMail Doc - to do slideshare, doc sharing, presentation and etc.
GMail Calendar - to create event, so that my set-member will know whether we are available.
GSearch - to search for unknown, search and download software.
Wikispaces - allows discussion, get members opinions, idea and also info.
Blogspot - blog tool from google to input my thoughts, info learned, my journal of learning, for my added members to read and it have many gadgets.
Audacity - to record, edit and download my audio into Internet
Archive - to store audio, text, images, picture in the site.
Pando - for people to download large files and we are using it to download audio of online discussion and tutorial
Elgg - is a platform for us to do group discussion, input thread and etc.
Youtube - do upload/download video.
Slideshare - to do slideshare, doc sharing, presentation and etc.

After the Small World Play online supervision, untill near to 12pm........ and the final presentation @ 3pm.
Send my daughters to drawing class and told the teacher that I would be late to come and pick them up....


Jo did the presentation on the slides, Hazel covered the summary proposal, Melinda did video taping using Camtasia, X10 host the conference and myself did audio taping using Audacity.

Previosly I loved to use bookmark in Elgg whatever I fell that I need to refer back. I already forgot that the maximum for bookmark display is 10. When I went back Elgg's bookmark to look for schedule for e-learning only noticed that it has gone ;-(.

I have forgot when is the coming online tutorial :). Went to Gmail share calender, seem that nobody was updated on it including myself. What to do now??

Therefore went back to Gmail to search for Alex's email on the schedule. I noticed that Alex was putting it in Elgg's Page.

After trying, I felt that Elgg's Page was very useful also. You may group your page with "Tag" like what I used for schedule (actually copy from Alex ;-)) and you may have sub-page on it. You may share your page with your group (friends) or public thru "access" and "write access".

I have to reduce my bookmark since it limited to 10 only and will use more on page.
