I AM SOMEONE

I am someone I walked past a dead face even though the person was alive I saw my eyes in the mirror and cried at the sight I looked at a person I didn't know and I met a friend I got heads to turn when I walked past I learned a lot about myself when I lost a new friend I cried every tear in my body when I thought about love I got hit bad then got back in the ring I climbed a mountain of rocks and saw an eagle fly over- head I heard terrible things about myself when no one thought I was listening I realized I was strong when I didn't cry when it hurt I found out who I was when I was with someone else I thought I was lost forever when a friend found me I held a life in my hand and it was my own I was a pawn in someone else's game so I surrendered to a brook I walked the fine line between surviving and not wanting to survive I still am I am someone

WHAT IS E-LEARNING? *IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS*

The exponential growth of information has made it imperative for learning to

happen quickly. Meeting this challenge requires new thinking about how we

acquire knowledge and skills as well as how we develop learning resources that

can keep up with the knowledge economy. The advent of ICT and the Internet

has greatly influenced the way knowledge is transmitted. This has resulted in the

development of e-learning.

DEFINE E-LEARNING

1· “E-Learning refers to the use of Internet technologies to deliver a

broad array of solutions that enhance knowledge and

performance” - J. Rosenberg

2· “E-Learning is the use of network technology to design, deliver,

select, administer, and extend LEARNING” – Elliot Masie, The

Masie Center

Typically, the content for e-learning is in the electronic form and is stored either in

CD ROM’s or on servers. Learners access these contents directly from standalone

computers or from the servers through the networked computers. The

contents are typically developed to be engaging and interactive and the learners

are supported “virtually” by the instructors.

E-LEARNING ---> MALAYSIA

In Malaysia, e-learning is introduced to students undergoing open and distance

learning (ODL) programmes. Distance learning is not a recent phenomenon to

Malaysians. Many individuals, especially those who are still working and aspire to

be successful in their career development have enrolled for external degrees

offered by reputed universities in the 1960’s or earlier. University of London,

U.K. is one of the institutions that was popular in awarding external degrees in

those days. Many professional bodies, such as the City and Guild in U.K. also

offered various certificates and diplomas in different fields through correspondence programmes. The advent of Internet in the early 1980’s had

resulted in a gradual introduction of e-learning to ODL students in Malaysia.

BENEFITS OF E-LEARNING

There are many benefits that can be derived from e-learning. Some of these are

as listed below:

1- Flexibility, Accessibility, Convenience

Learners can access the materials in their own time and study at their own

pace and place.

2- Cross platform

Learners can access the content through window-based, Mac-based or

UNIX-based computers.

3- Low delivery costs

Once e-content has been developed and uploaded on the server, it is

relatively inexpensive to distribute domestically and worldwide.

4- Ease of update

It enables the content to be easily and regularly updated and instantly

available to all learners.

5- Collaborative learning

E-learning promotes collaborative learning thus resulting in a more

engaging and richer learning experiences.

6- Scalability

Content can be delivered to a small or large number of learners with little

effort.

CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING E-LEARNING

1- Awareness

Generally there is still a lack of awareness amongst the population,

especially parents, of the effectiveness of e-learning. Many parents feel

the traditional learning mode is better.

2- Computer Literacy And Digital Divide

In Malaysia, there is a large segment of the population that is computer

illiterate. This is especially true in the rural areas. This hinders the

introduction and implementation of e-learning.

3- Difficulty in Engaging Learners Online

Engaging learners actively is one of the key factors in determining the

success of an e-learning program. Online learning requires a very high

degree of self-motivation which is found to be lacking among our learners.

Learners find it difficult to migrate from the traditional learning mode to the

new e-learning mode.

4- Language Barrier

The extensive use of English in e-learning contents is also one of the

factors that has hindered the success of e-learning, especially in non-

English speaking countries like Malaysia. Many, who like to enrol in elearning

programs, are deterred from doing so as they are not confident

with the contents in English.

*What I can conclude here is ---> E-learning is still learning!! I believe that the learners and instructors in

Malaysia today have accepted it as one of the practical delivery modes. In view

of this, I am confident that e-learning is here to stay and will play an important

role in democratizing education and contributing towards generating knowledge

workers. However, in order to realize the full potentials of e-learning, the

government needs to play a more active role in promoting and supporting elearning

initiatives. Agree with me or not? For sure, you all agree right?

Lets together we support E-Learning process in our learning environment.

HOW TO DRESS FOR AN INTERVIEW

While the college campus may be the perfect forum in which to exhibit your flair for the latest in fashion style, the interview is not the place to do so. With very few unusual exceptions (my apologies to Apple Computer), sandals and sweatshirts are out. Oxfords and business suits are still in. I don't like a necktie (noose?) any better than the next person, but it is still a fact of life in interviewing. Even though many companies have relaxed the internal company dress code, interviews still follow the conservative standard. Don't buck the trend.

Unfortunately, most college grads are woefully underprepared with proper interview dress. They feel they can "get by" with what is already in their wardrobe. Usually not. Dress for the world outside college is quite different from the campus scene. Remember that stylish is not conservative. You should be doing the talking, not your clothes.

This is not to say that you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Go for quality over quantity. One or two well-chosen business suits will serve you all the way to the first day on the job and beyond. Then, when you are making some money (and have a chance to see what the standard "uniform" is for the company), you can begin to round out your wardrobe. For now, no one will fault you for wearing the same sharp outfit each time you interview. If you desire some variety within a limited budget, you might consider varying your shirt/blouse/tie/accessories as a simple way to change your look without breaking your wallet.

For those of you who need a quick review of the basics, follow these guidelines for successful interview dress:

Men and Women

• Conservative two-piece business suit (solid dark blue or grey is best)
• Conservative long-sleeved shirt/blouse (white is best, pastel is next best)
• Clean, polished conservative shoes
• Well-groomed hairstyle
• Clean, trimmed fingernails
• Minimal cologne or perfume
• Empty pockets--no bulges or tinkling coins
• No gum, candy or cigarettes
• Light briefcase or portfolio case
• No visible body piercing (nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc.)

Men

• Necktie should be silk with a conservative pattern
• Dark shoes (black lace-ups are best)
• Dark socks (black is best)
• Get a haircut; short hair always fares best in interviews
• No beards (unless you are interviewing for a job as a lumberjack!)
• Mustaches are a possible negative, but if you must, make sure it is neat and trimmed
• No rings other than wedding ring or college ring
• No earrings (if you normally wear one, take it out)

Women

• Always wear a suit with a jacket; no dresses
• Shoes with conservative heels
• Conservative hosiery at or near skin color (and no runs!)
• No purses, small or large; carry a briefcase instead
• If you wear nail polish (not required), use clear or a conservative color
• Minimal use of makeup (it should not be too noticeable)
• No more than one ring on each hand
• One set of earrings only

If you are still not sure how to dress for the interview, call them and ask! That's right--call the employer. But this is one time when you do not want to call the Hiring Manager--instead, ask to be put through to Human Resources and say:

"I have an interview with _____ in the _____ department for a position as an _____. Could you please tell me what would be appropriate dress for this interview?"

Sure, you run the risk of someone in HR thinking you are a social imbecile, but that's a lot better than having the Hiring Manager distracted by inappropriate interview dress.

While many work environments have shifted to business casual as the work standard, business suits are still the interview standard. When it doubt, it is almost always better to err on the side of conservatism.

One final note on interview dress: while it goes without saying that your interview clothes should be neat and clean, very few interviewees give the same time and attention to their shoes. Shoes? Yes, shoes. I am aware of at least one Corporate Recruiter who forms first impressions based solely (pardon the pun) on shoes. This person does not have a shoe fetish--he subjectively judges that those who pay attention to details like their shoes are also likely to be diligent in their work life. And it is not just that person's opinion. Many have said that you can judge a person by their shoes. You will find that many ex-military officers (many of whom have found their way into management positions in corporate America) are especially aware of a person's shoes. It is not enough to be clean, pressed, and ironed. Make sure your shoes are conservative, clean, and polished.

SIX PARENTAL TIPS FOR YOUR ANGRY CHILDREN

Good evening everybody.

As I create this entry, it's already show 14.05pm.

What a lovely day and at the same time, it is so hot today.

Have you take your lunch?

Me done!...eheheheh

Okey lets we continue with my posting today. For this entry I would like to give some tips that can help parents outside to control their children's anger. I do agree that every parents will face this kind of problems when it comes to manage their children's angry, same goes with me here. Sometimes we do not know how we can tackle back our children from being angry and enjoy their life like other kids do. We as a parent, afraid that if our child do not want to act like a normal child which is be happy and cheerful in every single days among other people. Angry feeling also is not good to bring in children environment because it may lead to serious feeling when they grow up later which is revenge feeling. Before it becomes terrible, why not we read up all the six tips below on how to manage angry feeling for our lovely children. :)

Tip #1- TEACH HOW TO RESPOND INSTEAD OF REACT
Parents can teach their children the difference between feeling angry and acting on anger. Encouraging your child to take time-out until they cool down, to keep a journal, draw, or talk out their emotions are positive outlets for feelings of anger. 

Providing a means by which to channel feelings into positive actions is another tool to help your child deal with his or her angry feelings. Examples might include taking a relaxing walk, writing letters and cards, doing something nice for another person, or donating time to a worthwhile community project geared toward helping others. 

In the short run, life at home will be easier when children learn how to work through anger. In the long run, children will continue developing ways to cope with anger as they become teenagers and adults, and will pass these skills along to their own children.

Tip #2- BE AWARE OF HOW YOUR CHILDREN ARE SEEING YOU
Start by setting a good example. Children learn from observing your behavior. Be aware of the messages you are sending your child in terms of how you behave toward them, how you behave toward other people, and how they see you handling your own anger and stress.

Unfortunately, some misguided parents create hatred in their children by modeling prejudice, intolerance, disrespect or violence toward other people that may be different from them or have different word views. Teaching "empathy" (the ability to see the world from the perspective of another), openness, tolerance and understanding are extremely valuable anger-management tools to teach yourself and your children. 

Tip #3-TELL CHILDREN PERSONAL STORIES OF TRIUMPH
Your children need to hear stories of how you may have overcome hardship, adversity, or other life challenges. Research shows that hearing your stories of empowerment over rough times or situations can make your children feel more attached to you, and give them more hope for themselves to be able to overcome their life difficulties. Having more optimism and developing more positive attitudes can often reduce anger in children and adults alike.

Tip #4- BE CONSISTENT IN PARENTING
At any age, anger is often generated between the gap between what is expected and what actually occurs in reality. With children, it is especially important to outline exactly what the consequences are (positive and negative) for their behavior-and then stick to it! Consistency makes children feel more secure, less anxious, and less likely to react angrily if they don't get "their own way." Parental consistency between parents or other adults in your child's life is also very important to create stability and a sense of predictability. 

Tip #5- REDUCE FAMILY STRESS 
Coping with family stressors is an important tool of anger management, as angry outbursts are much more likely to occur as personal and family stress levels rise. There are many ways to buffer family stressors such as maintaining regular rituals for eating together, sharing the day with each other, finding time to play together, and emotionally supporting each other.

Parents can also help their children learn to calm themselves or self-sooth when angry. It is often helpful to calm their anger by using the five senses: touching, smelling, tasting, hearing, and seeing. Squeezing play dough, splashing in water, running around outside, listening to music, painting a picture, tensing and relaxing muscles, taking slow deep breaths, or eating a healthy snack are all good responses to angry feelings.

Children who respond well to touch can be taught how to massage their own neck or arms as a self-calming technique. These same children also may find a great deal of comfort in stroking or caring for a pet. To reduce stress, try telling your child the following:

* let's draw a picture about how you feel
* a warm bath sometimes helps wash away angry feelings
* when you feel hungry and irritable, tell me and I'll find a snack for you
* sit down and take slow deep breaths until you have calmed down.

Tip #6-TEACH YOUR CHILD HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
Parent can teach their older preschool, school-age and teenage children to problem solve as a "prevention" tool for getting angry.

Most children will need adult help in thinking through this process and coming up with creative ways to solve problems. And it does take time. The advantage, however, is that after doing this process over and over, most children soon will become fairly good at identifying a problem and coming up with different options for solving the problem on their own. A child that has much practice in thinking of different ways to solve a problem is much more likely to solve a conflict in a positive way instead of just reacting with the anger response.

Hopefully with the six tips above, we can realize that we as a parents need to work on something to ensure that our children have a great time in their life journey and from that they can benefits a lot of good things for their coming future too or their next generation as well.

Alternatively, good parenting requires teaching children the practical skills needed for anger control. Although feeling angry is a part of life that no one can avoid because it is "hardwired" in our brains as a protective and survival mechanism, we can teach our children positive ways to cope with these normal angry feelings. Learning the tools of anger management empowers children, makes them more effective and pleasant human beings, and improves the world by decreasing hatred, violence and conflict.
