Week 13: Publishing Your Website

This week we learned about how to publish your website in the internet. Before start the class, Dr Affandy remind us about individual evaluation and discussion on e-learning. Due date to present 100% website is on January. Mommy forgot the date but mommy pretty sure, its early in January. Mommy will update the date A.S.A.P after mommy get the date. Next week (21th December 2011), Dr Affandy will giving us an activity and need us to discuss in e-learning by 9.00pm. So, everyone MUST online at 9.00pm and make the discussion about 30minutes.

Okey, lets start the class! hehehe...No laaa, mommy just wrote down what mommy learned in the class for this week. As a freelance website developer for 4 years, not all we know even though we had 4years experiences on that. Every single day, we need to improve our knowledge by reading or gaining experience on that. So, from mommy's experiences, before we want to publish our website, we need to explore which company can give a good price to buy the web hosting and domain name.

What is web hosting?

is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.

And what is domain name?

is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes. In general, a domain name represents an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site, or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet.

This two are very related. Mommy buy domain name in here ---> http://www.godaddy.com/default.aspx

and web hosting, mommy forgot. hahaha....Actually, for the first time registered web hosting, mommy need a person to guides mommy. Actually, mommy not expect to having a web hosting at the first place but as a freelance website developer, mommy need to have it.

With having a web hosting, you can upload your website or system which need a database to store it. You also can transfer the file by using FTP. Besides, with having your own domain name, you can put your name or your company to publish your website...

For more information, you can search at google. :) To get new knowledge, you need to find it by yourself, not only retrieve from others.

Mommy will continue the special task that Dr Affandy asked us to do in another entry....:)

Week 10: Visual Design

Today is mommy first class after very long holiday mommy had. hahahaha! Okey, before start the class, Dr Affandy reminded us about weekly reflection in blog, our project subject and individual assignment that we need to do. This week is WEEK 10. We are supposedly present 40% our project on WEEK 11. Meaning that, next week we must complete our project at least 40% in progress...Oh my gucci! Mommmy do not realized at all, we are in WEEK 10. How fast the time is moving. Fuhhh...Okeyh Mommy, after class, going home and set your mind to finish all the task quickly. Not only set your mind but DO IT! huhuh...

Today we learned about Visual Design. What the difference between Interaction, Information and Visual Design? It seems similar...Well, the Interaction Design is what user need and feel about it. Visual Design is like sketches, it visualize the design from information gathered and then transform it into real visual by using software. Information Design is like what information that they want to delivered to the customer.

The notes below:

After finish this topic, PRESENTATION TIME~~~~

We present what we had discuss in Week 9. We got 1 comment from other group. She ask,

"Adakah sesuai anda meletakkan banyak text di sebelah kanan itu? Bukankah kanak-kanak lebih sukakan banyak kartun daripada text?"

And this is our answered,

"Seorang kanak-kanak pra sekolah memerlukan bantuan ibu bapa untuk melayari web ini. Oleh itu, kami menyediakan dua cara untuk memudahkan ibu bapa dan juga kanak-kanak. Text di sebelah kanan membantu ibu bapa untuk mencari silibus yang anak-anak pelajari"

Well done babes! Love you all! Hehehe..

Week 9: Mid-Year Semester Break

We having discussion at Food Court, Jaya Jusco. We decided to separate the task and of course, mommy will be the person who sketch the webpage. For mommy's group members, here it goes---->

The theory behind that:

Theory: Behaviorism
Learning Stratergy: Exercise, Tutorial, Simulation, Education Games, Problem Solving

We only choose Exercise, Simulation and Education Games and we add Notes to replace Tutorial.

For more details about this sketches, mommy will copy and paste the online discussion we had done in here...Mommy think, it is enough to all of you understand what information delivered from this sketches.

"kite start dari kiri dulu iaitu AKTIVITI

Faizah...

Membaca: ada banyak cerita pilihan yang menarik berkisahkan teladan dan ade dwi bahasa. Di dalamnya ade suara yang akan mengajar adik2 manja membaca seiring dengan tulisan yang diwarnakan apabila perkataan itu disebut.

Menyanyi: banyak pilihan lagu yang menarik berkonsepkan pelajaran, mengajak adik2 manja menyanyi bersama. Minda paling mudah mengingat adalah melalui lagu. Oleh itu, adik2 manja mudah untuk menghafal dan mengingati apa yang dipelajari.

Bermain Muzik: terdapat piano, seksafon, gitar, drum, casenet untuk dimainkan oleh adik2 manja mengikut nod2 lagu. Ini adalah untuk meningkatkan daya kreativiti adik2 manja dalam mencipta muzik baru dan memperkuatkan daya ingatan. Ini yang di amalkan oleh anak Yahudi...hehehe

Fonik: pembelajaran melalui fonik membantu adik2 manja menyebut dengan betul.

Azaref...

Yg ditengah2 ada 4 modul iaitu Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Inggeris, Matematik dan Sains. Ia berkait rapat dgn subtopik di link sebelah kanan...
CONTOH

Bahasa Melayu terdapat abjad, bentuk, warna, kenderaan & bunyi.

Flow: Katakanla adik2 manja pilih link abjad. Jadi ade nota dan latihan untuk mengenal abjad, menulis abjad berserta bunyi. Terdapat simulasi yg mengajar mereka mengenal n menulis abjad dengan betul. Kemudian, mereka akan diuji semula apa yg diajar melalui games.

Rajesh...

Oleh itu, adik2 manja ada 2 cara untuk klik. Yang pertama ditengah2 dan yang kedua di paling kanan.

Ditengah2: adik2 manja hanya perlu klik gambar tu dan akan keluar senarai silibus seperti di sebelah kanan tu mengikut subjek yang dipilihla

Di paling kanan: senarai semua subjek dan silibus untuk memudahkan adik2 manja dan ibubapa mengetahui keseluruhan kandungan yang terdapat dalam laman web ni tanpa perlu klik satu persatu gmbar di tengah-tengah tu.

Ayuni...

Betul betul betul...Itu yang aku buat dalam lakaran tu..."
