Yesterday i found on on the time-table that our IS teacher, Mr. Cheong has been replaced by Mr. Koh. I have enjoyed Mr. Cheong's lessons and will miss it but i also look forward to new teaching methods by Mr. Koh, i believe i would also enjoy Mr. Koh's lessons.

Another week of IS lesson, my favourite subject! This week we learned something more about customizing our webpage. Its called CSS, which stands for cascading style sheet. CSS allows the webpage to be customized such that multiple pages would have the same design. With something like that, we can happily design our webpages according to our ideas. The CSS structure is easier to create than the HTML structure, as there are less codes but most of it was just words describing the type of change that would be made to the webpage when the percentage was changed, examples are: margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, margin-bottom, background colour, etc. I did not name all of them out in this blog post as there are too much of them and i have not learnt all of them yet.

This week, Mr. Cheong talked about HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language. Before he talked about HTML i had already know abit about HTML like their code structure. But after he showed us the slides about different types of HTML codes then i learned more. I learned about the linking of another webpage from my blog and also the different headers which differs from h1
EXAMPLE
to h6EXAMPLE
which means header one to header six. Header one is the biggest while header six is the smallest. Normally i wound link a webpage with the settings given to me by my templates but now i can link it on my own! Also, another thing i learnt about the codes are the underlining and bolding of words. Underlining is EXAMPLE and bolding is EXAMPLE. This allows me to tell my readers what the main point is and what to take note of, but also i can use which is used to emphasize my words. So, now i am aiming to create my very own template which if successful i will use for my blog's skin. Like this =D------
1st video under Decide Blog or Website: After watching this video i learnt most of the advantages and disadvantages of both a blog and a website. Actually, they are different in many ways such as the layouts and management of each of them. Afterall i still prefer the blog.
1st video under Intellectual Property - Is copy right?: After watching this video i realised that people only learn only when they have 'experienced' the pain which also means learning the hard way. Plagiarism is a bad thing to do as for example using only 10% of effort to take away someone's 100% of effort. So therefore COPY is NOT RIGHT like what i replied in the forum.
1st video under Social impact of new media: This video shows the future technologies which are human voice-controlled. i believe this will enable man's life to be much easier but i also feel that people shud not depend on technologies too much in case we get too complacent and lose all our abilities.
2nd video under Social impact of new media: The video shows us more about social networking sites which allows people all over the world to connect with each other enabling us to communicate even at a large distance. One connection is also equals to million of smaller connections example 1st connection's connections connect to you which makes them new connections.

After watching the video on the history of internet, i know that the first online network was called apranet and it was used by the military for long distance network computing. After that, alot of other networks were 'borned', such as: usenet, bitnet, dweebnet etc. Then the World Wide Web, also known as 'www' came in, it was then used by many ppl. I am also using it now!

Web 1.0 VS Web 2.0 after watching this video i know that last time when people used the internet they cant write much on the internet only looking for information posted by the web master was all they can do but now we have everything from blog to your own webpage like what we have on Ning. If i had not seen that video i would have thought that the internet was already like that last time, i mean not about the blog part but the expressing on the internet thing. Thanks for the video Mr.Cheong!
