Three ways of using twitter in our daily life
Twitter is a micro-blogging portal which useful in academic life.
Now,s a day's people don't have time to read long text, they prefer to capture small and interesting messages and using Twitter in education with student collaboration.so you can share the important link with other classmates or helping them in their reachers programme.
Twitter can also use in changes of programme. If there is any changing in the schedule so they can inform to others. The student also needs instant notification and can share with fellow notification.
Reachers tools for students. all student can easily find high authority reachers material using Twitter in education. All they need relevant keyword and they will receive a list of websites and blogs. You can also search specific phrases, key figures discussion topic, and discussion forum.
A visit to Macquarie University
My personal reflection about EA P group Macaquarie University Discovery day.
Today i took part in presentation in an EAP group discovery day at Macaquarie University on October 19 , 2017 given by two students .
The presentation has five important things 1:entry pathway 2:facilities 3: faculties 4: extracurricular activities 5: personal stories that were very useful as students.
On discovery day, i collected some information about non applicant programme and scholarship and more information on special pathway about undergraduates and postgraduates entry requirements.
The university also accept EA P certificate 4 as an equivalent to 6.5 and welcome new comers in graduate programme.
To sum up, the information i got today was very useful and knowledgeable and will be very useful in my future decision.

Personal Reflection on Usefulness of Diigo in Academic Study
Personal Reflection on Usefulness of Diigo in Academic Study
This is my personal reflection on the usefulness of diigo
bookmarking in academic
study.
As
a student of EAP class, I realised the usage of diigo is much more significant
for me. For instance, it functions as a mobile library where I could save
enormous links of useful information resources, so that I could have access to
them from wherever I would be in future. On the other hand, if I properly
classified all the links by naming, titling and tagging them using appropriate
keywords, I could readily get to the relevant information resources which I
need by
using key words. Therefore, I would be able to save a lot of time in my
assessment tasks, or activities such as doing research or gathering information
that I have to. Furthermore, it is a tool which could manipulate my group study
activities out of class. Also, it could be a media to facilitate distant
learning communications between teachers and students because teachers might correct
inconsistencies in my writing task, and could give feedback so that I could improve
my skill in future.
In
essence, I am pretty much optimistic that the use of diigo bookmarking would be
a means of improving my outcome of this course; also, it is going to be a timesaving
tool by which I could successfully manage the tasks of my study in future.
Personal Reflection on How to save GMail Account
Assessment 3 - Task 3
Today, I learnt a useful technique of how to secure my Gmail account. I came to know that I can secure my Gmail account by two simple and reliable ways.
It uses a verification method which uses either phone or email verification to protect Gmail accounts from hackers, third parties and illegal data collectors. In case an unauthorized attempt is
made to access someone’s account, Google sends a notification to either a registered phone or email
address to confirm if it is a legitimate attempt. Google also sends associated
information like location of the connection from where
unauthorised attempt was made as well as asks permission to allow
or deny the access of email account.
The second thing I learnt was about the cloud storage or online storage. It is a good alternative for USB stick and memory card. This online storage is Google Drive. I learnt how to share, upload and
download any kind of file in this virtual storage. The google drive has couple
of useful options such as sending a document form the google drive to anyone’s
email address, downloading a document straight into the Google drive and so on.
The third thing of my learning was about the Google language and
date format settings on my google account.
I also learnt how to put the file pathway into the footer section of the document. I practised how to copy a path of a file from
file explorer to the footer of the document.
The last thing I learnt was to use blind copy
option (BCC) in emails. This method demonstrates a secure way of sending
an email to a group
of recipients without the knowledge of the actual recipient.
Reflection on
how learning these skills will change my behaviour?
The above mentioned skills are very important for me to understand
built-in security features of Gmail account. It also gives me insight of the
importance of entering relevant information of mobile phone and email account
in personal profile settings of the account.
Similarly, other associated email options of Google language and date
format settings, BCC options as well as creating header and footer are very
important for future communication and correspondence.
What action
have you taken or will take in the future?
As a result of my learning, I have updated my account settings of
Gmail account with my mobile number and alternate email address for recovery
options.
I have also activated my Google Drive and have started creating
folders and saving documents in respective folders.
I have also
practised sending emails enabling bcc options as senders list.
