CMC? Emm...


Hi guys.

We meet again . Today my topic is about CMC. What is it guys? CMC is Computer Mediated Communication. It is a form of communication or interaction between 2 or more people via computer. So it helps us to communicate. Examples of CMC are Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and others.

CMC in education?

In my previous post, I talked about CALL which is part of CMC. It is used in teaching and learning English language. It started in 1980 with email and forum. There are two types of CMC:

1) Asynchronous CMC
-Communication is not synchronized
-Messages are not replied immediately
Examples: email, blog comments

 2) Synchronous CMC
-Communication is synchronized
-Messages can be replied immediately
Examples: chat room, live video

CMC and long distance learning?

During 2000, CMC is implemented for distance learning. Synchronous communication allows teacher and students to interact without being in the same location. For example, video conference.

I guess that is it for today. Thank you guys.

Creating poster! Hi guys. Tadaaa.... This is my poster guys. I did the simplest poster but yet have the message that I want to deliver. What do you think? Good or not good? Our task for week 5 is to create a poster using canva.com. There is no theme for the poster so we can create anything that we want. So, for me, I want to encourage people to read books!. Reading can help our brain active and prevents it from losing power. There are many other benefits of reading, Google up if you don't believe me.
