Yesterday ( 23/03/10 ), I attended my first lesson with my kind and friendly Infocomm Studies teacher, Mr Kent Cheong. He is our new IS teacher, and my previous IS teacher was Mr Koh. From this lesson, I learnt a whole range new things that I have always wanted to know. From the powerpoint , we learnt about the history about the Internet. It was originally started in 1969 to allow scientists from different locations to share information and to function if part of the network was disabled. The project name was ARPANET(Networking Project By Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency). It originally started in 1969 with four host modes but 15 years later, in 1984, it had more than 1000 host modes. Today, there are more than 200 million host modes! Indeed, technology rapidly improves. Apart from that , I also learnt that a domain name is the text version of IP(Internet Protocol) address. The IP address is the number that identifies the computer or device connected to the Internet. I have always wondered what the IP address was and finally knew the answer after seeing through the slides. Next I also learnt about the WWW(World Wide Web). It is normally called Web. It is a collection of electronic documents from all over the world. These electronic documents can text, sounds, videos etc. We learnt that downloading is the process whereby the computer receives information from another source. The unique address for the web page is called the URL(Uniform Resource Locator). A link in a built-in connection to another web-page location. There are 9 types of basic websites, they are: Portal, News, Inforational, Business, Educational, Entertainment, Advocacy, Blog and Personal. An educational website teaches us information that is valuable to us. Last but not least, we also learnt about Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Web 1.0 is basically the writer of a certain website requiring to constantly update the website so as to attract readers. However, Web 2.0 enables both the writer and the readers to update the website. An example is the famous Wikipedia commonly used by everyone.I had an extremely fun and enriching lesson yesterday as I learned many new stuffs.

Hello Everyone! I am Jovian from class 1A2 (31). I am the guy who is on the right in the picture below. The guy beside me is one of my best friend in my primary school and he is also my teammate in primary school, but we would be rivals the next time we meet in competition.
Now, I am going to talk about my IT experience. In my primary school, we always had IT lessons, I think it is only once in a month if I remembered correctly. From the lessons, the teacher teaches us Microsoft word, excel , PowerPoint, flash, Photoshop and many others that I could not remember. Apart from that, I also learnt about the C++ programme in Term 1 from Mr Koh. I think that the C++ programme is quite complicated and I also could not understand what Mr Koh was saying at times. However, I studied hard for my test and got an A1 which I am very satisfied and surprised with.

After talking about my IT experience, I would now like to introduce more about myself. I am from Poi Ching School which is located in Tampines. I also have 3 friends from Poi Ching who are also in Hwa Chong. We four are all of different consortiums! My CCA in both secondary school and primary school is Volleyball. I started playing volleyball since i was in primary 2 and have already won many competitions and even getting first in some!As you can see, my favourite number is 8 and I always choose 8 as my jersey number :D. My other hobbies are playing soccer and other sports, playing computer games and watching the television. Are you wondering which soccer team I support? Well, the team I support is none other than Manchester United and my favourite player is W.Rooney. I support Manchester United because I think that their manager is very good and the way the play is unique.
