Reflection on EAP course

The use of delicious bookmark

Delicious bookmarking is social web device people can use to store, share and discover web bookmarks. It has been used mostly for academic people. Delicious bookmark is a free and anyone can see and use it through their account. It is a portable way to carry work and that can be accessed anywhere anytime. Delicious is a very useful website as people can share different links with friends easily. 

The use of twitter.

Twitter can be used in teaching which is a great way to give advice on each webcasts, reading or aiming for conversational style that will support students. Giving feedback to students and congratulate who do good presentation and group who are having good debates. 

Using twitter in department: departments have regular outside speakers and events going on. Twitter is a great way for altering people to details of talks, seminary, guests, guest lectures and parties. Add in tweets of highlights from people who are there and the place to be. 

Also, twitter can be used for research projects and can add extra value to almost any research project in several ways. For example, tweet about each new publication, new blog that the project completes. Adding to this, you could send a tweet that links to your research blog and ask your followers for their feedback and comments.

My favorite artwork

 Title:                        Fruit bats 

                                 1991 

Artist:                       Lin Onus 

                                Australian 1948 -1996 

Media Category:     Sculpture 

This piece of art was made of fiberglass and clothes line, it was decorated with crosshatches and dots. I was interested in this art peace because the artist used interesting patterns and the way that the bats where made all differently but with the same patterns on there wings. I liked what this sculpture represents it represents how the Aboriginal and European culture lived together.

Email Protocol

email protocol

Email protocols are set of rules that help people to properly transmit information to or from the mail server. Email is an important part on students academic learning due to it being used as the way of communicating and receiving feedback from teachers during after class hours. As writers, we should use various things when emailing using appropriate forms of address when emailing a person and writer should attach names, page numbers and date. Email helps both students and teachers to do their roles more effectively. As a student, it is a great way to turn in class work, receive feedback from the teacher about assessments and can sometimes ask for help too. It is more respectful to use appropriate addresses when emailing such as Mr and Ms. When emailing to several people who know each other, it is okay to put their address in the TO field. Moreover, when sending to many people who don't know each other, as a writer, we have to put their address in the BCC field. Using the Bcc field means protecting the email address and not sharing them broadly. As a writer, we should include a subject line to give the reader an idea what is the email about. When emailing the writer, should attach date on the footer and header for topic in order for the receiver to recognize the sender. It is important to use the blind copy when sending an email to a group of people to protect their privacy. To keep emails secure, changing passwords regularly is a good method. As a writer it is a good way to use the 2 step verification to secure the email account.
