My service learning experience

Service-learning is often linked to school and college courses, and inspires these educational organizations to build strong partnerships with community-based organizations. Service-learning can also be organized and offered by community organizations with learning objectives or structured reflection activities for their participants. When i teach grade five students for volunteer, i really learn a lot of this activity. As a member of the society and a graduate students at the university, it is my responsibility to enhance the whole socity's knowledge and skill level.

Plans for Growth and Development

I think that networking is very important for businesses. CBET provides us a lot of networking opportunities for meeting all kinds of different leaders. We really get a chance to improve our networking. However, i have to try to attend more meetings as i can becuase all the meeting provide many opportunities for networking. Also, i have to improve my self-management skills. Sometimes, when i have a lot of assignments to do at the same time, i cannot manage it very well. And often i will forget some assignments. Therefore, i think i should write some notes in case i forget the assignments.

My life in MBET and Other Academic Pursuits

Since i came to CBET, i really enjoy this learning environment. Everyone is very friendly and treat each other well. I am always trying to work harder and enjoy the environment of MBET. I graduate from Trent University with a BBA degree this summer.

Introduce myself

My name is Lingwei Zhang. I am a current graduate student at the CBET program in the University of Waterloo. I really enjoy playing soccer and video games. I would also like to travel a lot. I usually like to watch NBA games, read novel and write business plans. I was participate in many volunteer jobs, such as i taught grade five students business classes.

the online video is interesting to watch. Through YouTube and Google Video, i find many funny videoes. I enjoy those videoes very much. But i think that there are actually some differences between the two online services. For YouTube, i find that there are more useful and detailed functions than Google Video. For instance, all videoes have been devided into many categories such as comedy and sports. And there are many ways people can deal with the video such as they can share the videoes or save as favourites. Although Google Video does not provide as many functions as YouTube does, it is a interesting online service. Google Video also provides some functions for people to deal with the online videoes such as adding tags for videoes. Both services provide people the HTML link which could help people to embed the videoes on their blogs. People can also save the online videoes from the two services, but i think it is easier to use Google Video to download videoes. YouTube is becoming a very popular online tool for people to use. People can find any videoes related to any topics from YouTube and also transfer their videoes to YouTube. Those features make YouTube become so successful today. Meanwhile, i find many ways that people could save YouTube videoes to their computer; for instance, people only have to paste the video URL to YouTube Downloader; and they save the URL as 'flv'; then they are able to get the video and they can watch it through flv player. By comparing the high definition and standard definition of the videoes, there is no doubt that the HD is much more clear than the standard definition. For instance, in terms of the width and hight of a display, HD has a 16:9 or 1.78:1, but the standard format is only 4:3 or 1.33:1. From the statistics, we know the reason that why HD provides us a clear version than standard format. I think the HD involves in more digital effort than the standard one. I found many new and interesting movies in the website which i haven't heard of. I would definitely go watch them as soon as i can. i enjoy watching movies a lot. For example, the movie called'Oceans 13' is really funny and it keeps me interested the whole way through the trailer; the movie'the rise of silver surfer' is a fabulous movie which attracts me more attention.

wow...this is a really interesting on line tool. I enjoy it a lot. By putting our personal goals and dreams on the website, we could keep all these goals in mind. People could put every single goal on the website and they can update or change the goals whenever they want. When we open the website, the website will remind us. So we could always keep working hard in order to achieve the personal goals. This website is the most useful and interesting on line tool. I will use it in everyday life and try to let it remind me to work hard and achieve goals. I think by using this website, it is a really good idea for people to remind themselves. To those who want to achieve ambitious goals, this website could be really helpful. People will want to keep trying new things once they achieve one goal. This is a really good example of 'digital culture'. People can use digital tools to accomplish their goals. We can see that digital tool is very important in our daily lives. Today, more and more things have to be solved by digital tools. As long as people truly understand the importance of 'digital culture', they will be successful in the future. Since it is a digital culture course, as a university student, we also have to do tasks digitally.

actually, i think that podcast is a really useful tool for people to use. People can listen to whatever they want and fully enjoy the content. It is more like a radio show that includes wide range of topics. If people like comedy, they can choose the related topics on podcast. I find that podcast is a really interesting on line tool. i enjoy the radio show because the expression is in a funny way. I will definitely often use it in the future. It makes feel relaxed and comfortable. Here are the three links to the podcasts which i selected from Yahoo podcasts: http://aradio.disney.go.com/podcasts/yahoo/audio/radio_disney_now_070417.mp3, http://s3.amazonaws.com/chinesepod/0491/mp3/chinesepod_D0491pb.mp3, http://media.libsyn.com/media/sciencefriday/scifri-2007041324.mp3. The topic are related to science and comedy. Also, the audio book is a interesting tool as well. The difference to podcasts is that the it is a reading of certain book. People can certainly save a lot of time and energy when they want to read certain long books. Audio book provides people the readings of certain books they want to read. By simply clicking the button, they can enjoy the book on line. It is easy to use. Meanwhile, i think it is really useful for the classes. Teachers can use all kinds of materials from the audio book to teach in the classes. It is very convenient for teachers. Here are the some audio books i choose from the librivox website: http://ia350607.us.archive.org/1/items/fishers_boy_librivox/fishersboy_thoreau_blb_64kb.mp3, http://ia340937.us.archive.org/2/items/utopia_j_librivox/utopia_01_more_64kb.mp3. I like audio book very much in a way that it provides variety kinds of readings of the books. However, i think that some audio book websites are not convenient to use. People have to pay money if they want to get the readings of sertain books. And in order to get some readings, people also have to be a member of some websites. I find it is so complex to use. But overall speaking, the two kinds of on line tools are useful for people. People can also listen to the readings or radio shows through lots of media tools, such as they can listen directly through the websies or they can use i Tunes to listen or they can use RSS feeds to listen.

Until now, I think i find the most useful and interesting web tool when i am doing the Lab 7 assignment. The two sites are unbelievable. The on line generator brings people a lot useful images and functions to use. Compared to the two sites, i really the second one-the on line image generator. I can do what ever i want to design and create my own pictures by using the different functions. For instance, i can design the magazine poster by using my own picture. However, i think the generator blog is also useful. People can create a beautiful blog by using their own pictures as blog background; and people can also put their name or pictures on different images, then they could put the images on their blogs. I think that both of them are easy to use as long as people really enjoy them. I don't think this kind of application is wasting of time. This application is useful for people who are doing on line tasks. And also for people who get free time or enjoy on line designing, this application can be helpful for them to relax and use. I did find other sites which are similar to the two sites. For instance,http://cooltext.com/and http://logos.petrucci.ch/. People can also use all kind of applications to design their own image. But anyway, i really enjoy this two sites, and i will use them in the future. By using them, i think i got a lot on line experience.

To be honest, i think the Flickr is the best website tool i have never seen. When people get Flickr account, they can do a lot of interesting on line tasks. For instance, they can put their favourite photoes to the public, so their friends can share them through the Flickr group; the Flickr allows people to label their content or photoes any way they wish. It is a wonderful website. Many people make or develop many application for Mash-ups by using the useful and interesting content or function of the Flickr. By looking at some of the Flickr Mach-ups, i think some of them are really good. I really love one of the Mash-ups by David Troy. Every single country is on the map. And people can find any interesting shared photoes by only click the country name; they will know where the person or photo comes from. There is another blog designed by Jim. I would say this is also a fabulous mach-up. There are all kinds of different photoes with many different colours. Some of the colours are unbelievable. Finally, there is amach-up which contains many different samll pictures. The person who puts all those photoes designs a game. People have to use all kinds of photoes to play the game. It is a funny game. All those applications from the Flickr are very interesting. People could get a intergrated experience from the mach-ups which combines content from more than one source.

what a fantastic website.....Delicious....

I would say that I really love this ‘delicious’ website. Before I am actually trying to figure it out, I do not even know about this site. And after I figure it out, I find that it is an interesting website. By using this website, people can keep the links to their favourite articles or blogs; they can also share the favourites with their friends or family or everyone in the delicious community; and people can add more interesting bookmarks from other people to their own collection. It is the most popular website mostly used by people who want to have a social bookmarking. The social bookmarking is designed to allow people to store and share bookmarks on the web, instead of people have to keep them on their own browser. I do find many useful functions in the website, and I think this website can be very helpful for people to collect or keep their favourites. By having this website account, it is very convenient for people to organize their own favourites and to share with other people. It is a really good website. I think I still do not get all functions in the web, but I am going to figure them out later. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy this fabulous website.

technorati support....

Hi everyone, recently, i have taken computer 280 course, and this is a really interesting course. I enjoy it in a way that we can actually learn a lot in a more relaxed environment. I think that the Technorati web site is really good. More people could get a chance to know my blog. The combination of blogging and tagging is really helpful. Of course, tagging is a really useful identification system. It is a like a simple category name, people can categorize their posts with any tag that makes sence. Here are the three blogs i found by using Technorati uteoverload.com , http://natewhitehill.com , http://www.gizmodo.com . The method i used to find the blogs is that i just click for the 'popular' in the site and there were many popular blogs appearing on the screen. And also by searching for blogs, i also got many blogs. I chose those three because i thought that their blogs were really unique. They all used many interesting pictures and they talked about really funny and useful news or stories. Compared to the RSS, i would like to use Technorati more often. Technorati is fantastic system and i really enjoy it. I can put whatever i think it is good and useful on the site, so many other people could enjoy them. It is convenient for people to use. [COST 280]

RSS....

Before I actually design the RSS, I do not exactly know what it is all about. I am trying to figure it out by following the steps in the lecture notes. Finally, I realize that this system is so interesting and it is not that hard to master. Actually there are many ways which I can add the feeds to Google Reader. For instance, I can find some websites containing RSS with the Google reader; I can directly click the button and the links will be automatically on my Google Reader; or I can add feeds only by click the “add subscription” and I can paste a feed URL to the blank, I will get it on my reader by clicking “subscribe” button; or I can use Browse in a way that I just need to type the keywords into the blank, and then if I am satisfied with the results, I only have to click “subscribe”, the links will be also transferred onto my reader. By doing this assignment, I think that this technology could be very important and useful for me in the future. For example, by having my own Google Reader, I can collect as much information as possible and keep them on the same page. When I need to use them, I do not need to waste my time on finding the information. It is really easy and convenient to use. If I am going to work in the company in the future, there must be a lot of information around. And once I get some useful research, I can immediately keep them. So I won’t lose them anymore. Also, if my friends or relatives need the same information, I can email to them by the Google reader. Overall speaking, it is a really crucial system for working in the future and I think I have to use it everyday.

What a wonderful blog!

wow...this blog is fantastic! You know what, I have a MSN blog right now, but this one is just fabulous. There are many different functions which are differing from other blogs. This is a really exciting movement or experience for me. At first, I have no idea about this blog. I do not know what I am going to do with the new blog. To be honest, I was a little bit nervous. But when I get started to deal with the new blog, it does really attract my attention. What a wonderful system I have never seen. This is actually my second blog and I also really enjoy it. Although the initial purpose of this blog is for the computer class assignment, I will use it in the future and make it more beautiful. After everyone reads my blog, he or she will understand my mood on each day. I will put all my everyday life on this blog to let my friends share it. And I do think that blog is useful for people to have. For instance, people could do whatever they want on their own blogs and they are free to express their own feelings on the blogs. When somebody feels stressed, she or he can express feeling on the blog and she or he may get better. When others see her or his blog, they will give recommendations or suggestions which will certainly make him or her to feel happy. I will keep updating this new blog and more people enjoy my story. As I said this was my second blog, but the experience of creating this blog is unforgettable. Finally, wish everyone can have a great day and enjoy the life.

I really like it! How about you guys?
