Week 2: Googling Technique



"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

For this week activity, I had studied beforehand as we are going to teach our foster siblings on Advanced Searching Technique with Google. I want to give them the best learning experience. This week's activity has brought me to a whole new level as it is also something new for me. It's like killing two birds with one stone as I had also gain benefits from this activity.

Before the class started, there was a problem in the labs booked. However, we were lucky because there's a screenshot about booking the Cube in block A. Hence, we decided to conjoint everyone in the Cube and use the projector as the teaching tool. Briefing were given to our foster sisters and brothers.


As I had studied the materials given beforehand, I was asked to teach them. Here are some summary that I made based on the materials given :

3.1
* tesla coil - to search "tesla coil"
* tesla coil site:.gov - to search "tesla coil" & gov website
* tesla coil site: .gov - to search "tesla coil" & gov website & "site"

3.2
* The Lewis and Clark Expedition filtype:kml - to download kml file & apply to Google Map

3.3
* salsa -dancing - to search salsa excluding salsa dancing

3.4
* "when venus the goddess of beauty and love" - to search for the exact phase
* red OR blue - to search both terms

3.5
* intext:geophysics - to search the term "geophysics" in the page
* Advanced Search in Google Setting


After that, all of us taught our foster siblings the technique that had been explained besides letting them explore other things that Google had provide. Apart from teaching, I also managed to get to know my foster sister, Adani more. She told me that she have tuition classes during the school break, so she couldn't go anywhere far. She said that she was doing fine on her examination last week. In addition, I got to know that she likes pink and dislike green.

Well, I hope that she will get plenty of rest next week because there's no class. I low-key hoped that she will participate more actively in the future.

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." - Zig Zagler The first two weeks were not a bad start. However, an improvement is important in order for all of us to achieve better results. Last week was semester break for UM students, so there's no activity being held. For this week, we reminded our foster sisters and brothers to bring their parents' information such as their e-mail, full name and date of birth to create an account. We were being taught on the features available on the web page beforehand. Thus, it won't be a big problem for us to teach the kids later on. The above is the progress chart that can be obtained from Adani’s account. We started our activity for this week by creating a student account for our foster sisters and brothers. Steps on how to register the account were shown. After creating the account, I decided to give Adani a tour on the site such as showing the notes available, teaching her how to d...

"A simple hello could lead to million things." During our first meeting, it was kind of normal to be shy and awkward, but as the time went by, I was glad that everyone became closer. A basic introduction was given by everyone in the CCNA lab. M&M chocolate is used the break the ice as we got to know their personal feelings through the color of chocolate they had. We played musical chair right after. Huda won the game! Even though my foster sister didn't win the game, I was happy to see their enthusiasms while playing the game. We also did the currently famous "panama dance" and played a few other games that were requested by our foster sisters and brothers. About my foster sister, Putri Izz' Adani binti Anuar, she is a standard six student from Sekolah Kebangsaan Satu Sultan Alam Shah. What I managed to get to know about her is that she is one of the triplets in her family. The other two of the triplets who were in other groups look alike while ...

Week 5: The journey goes on

"Live every moment like it's your last." There’s not much to prepare for this week as the activities are just basically doing assessment and playing games in ilearnace.com. Compared to the past few weeks, this week is basically more to doing assessments. Besides, next week is the last week for our program. Our session for this week was at the Cube. Nothing much was going on. We talked about how our weeks went on. Right after that, we started our lessons. I taught her on questions that she can’t answer and those questions that she got wrong. In addition, she still made a few careless mistakes when answering the questions. I hope that she will be more meticulous after this.
