Lab 1

Lab 1 (Reflection)
This is the first time we have a class in lab! And we were all kind of excited in the beginning because we didn't know what we're going to do. First we were asked to reply to other classmates' postings on Blackboard system. I thought many of the opinions had really good points. I tried to reply as many as I can, but time flies fast, twenty minutes are so short!!

The second thing we did is to build our own blog and also visit others'. Blogspot has many functions to design the blog. User can change the background color, add favorite pictures or add links to friends' blogs. I guess I will spend some time to create the blog to my own style, it will definitely be purple everywhere!!! We visited each others’ blogs and left silly short messages to let them we had been there. It was kind of fun!!!

Last week we had drawn some charts for the discussing questions. And this week the teacher asked us to work in groups to turn them into electrical files. We divided into two smaller groups to finish this task. Me, Cherrie, and Abby were lucky to do easier ones, while Vercy is struggling to try out many software to draw her chart and post to the class blog. Thank god she finally succeeded, we really appreciate her effort!!

Tapped In is the website we visited that day. It is a website that has lots of chat rooms created by teachers. We create our accounts and our rooms, and then the teacher asked us to use Tapped In to discuss what we will do for the final project. First everybody in the class had no clear idea how do the groups joined in one room, so in our room we had other classmates kept going in and out for many times. It is kind of a chaos!! After everybody settled down, we began to talk about the final project. My group members really typed really fast!! I usually only have time to agree or disagree on something. We talked a little bit silly sometimes and make some loud laugh. But in the end we still had came up with a rough idea of the final project. So it was great that we both had fun and done our job for the lab class!!

I wonder what we will do in the next lab class. I hope it will be fun!!
