Today, we started topics discussion on Facebook, one of the most popular social networking website. For this assignment, our tasks are to join DPA-EIR group on Facebook, which is founded by Ms Farida Noor, our lecturer and Nur Taqinah Kamsari, which is the creator of the group. On DPA-EIR group, Ms Farida started to posts a new topic, “Internet brings more bad influences to our youths than good influences. Do you agree? Why? Suggest one way you can use Internet for the benefits of youths today.” Most of the students in class had replied their own opinion regarding to the topic. Some agreed that internet does more bad than good, while some said that internet bring more disadvantages to youths. Other questions such as “Most of you agree that it depends on youths themselves to be influenced. As Internet is very pervasive in our lives today, what can be done if youths have been badly influenced and get affected adversely?” and “Can parental control be as effective as self-control in helping youths balance their usage of Internet and not let it run their lives?” .Different point of view was clearly pointed out and explained through words. As a conclusion, I think started topic discussions on social networking sites is another new and fun way of e-learning, whereby students can make full use of internet facilities to chat and discuss topics.
From the blog activity, I think it is quite efficient and useful because through blogging, students can update the information and what they learnt in school on their personal blog. Meantime, blog can be acts as an online diary, students can update their status and daily activities on the blog. Besides that, frequent posts and update on their learning activity in school can help to monitor the developments and track progress on their studies, therefore allow students to remember what they have learnt and apply them for future purposes.
