This is Week 6 of the Apr 11 semester. Yes, all of us survived 6 weeks in this new semester!
As always, the awesome EIR students have been attentive in class. Today, they used and evaluated the features of meta search engines and subject directories and compared it with those of a search engine. They continue work to search for more resources in relation to their research topics. This will be the content of the graded report which they will submit by end of next week.
Students were engrossed in their work as they prepare for this submission. Continue the good work all. I trust that you all will put in good efforts and ingite your individual "fireworks" to produce quality work. All the best in your submissions!

EIR class today was awesome. Students were attentive as they diligently completed the practical activities. They were also responnsive to the questions posed on the different purposes of websites.
We talked about the latest news about the inquiry into the killing of Osama bin Laden on bbc.com and discussed the features of advocacy, entertainment, information, personal and business/marketing websites. Students shopped online via amazon.com and had a sneak preview of virtual shopping via Second Life.
Our EIR class ended with 2 'ta-pao' online activities for our e-learning week next week. Yes, you are right about next week - Its E-learning week and No Need to come to class at 8am next week (16 May - 20 May 11), only need to submit the activities online via Facebook, Second Life and EIR blog. Oooh, I look forward to reading your blog reflections about your exciting virtual shopping adventures!
We had an enriching good time and seems like 2 hours is not enough especially when we are enjoying what we do in EIR!
Continue to enjoy EIR because the more you enjoy, the happier you get and the simpler the tasks become!

Students had a great start during this second week of EIR Apr 11 semester. Working in groups, they will embark on researching to find answers to their research questions during the weeks to come.
As we go deep into the semester, let's continue to be inspired by Katy Perry's music video "Fireworks" as we ingite the fireworks inside each one of us to do well in completing all EIR assignments and tests.
Enjoy EIR!
