Week 9 Reflection

Finally, we have presented the article review on software piracy. Mr. Norsarihan did make some comment on our presentation. He commented we could actually include misuse of technology into our presentation. Also, we should try to clarify the relationship between software piracy and also education.

Our group is the only group who did a presentation on software piracy. Other groups mainly talking about web 2.0. Web 2.0 is becoming more and more popular in education. It brings quite a lot of advantages.

First of all, web 2.0 enables distance learning. Students need not to waste their time to attend a class and they can gain knowledge via internet. Besides that, Web 2.0 enables learning process occur at anytime and anywhere. Also, online discussion can be done and this enables more students to voice out their opinion on internet if they do not dare to do this in the classroom.

Unluckily, in Malaysia, there are still a number of schools do not have internet access especially for those schools which are in rural areas. Hence, they are not able to enjoy the advantages brought by Web 2.0. As a result, the gap between the schools of urban area and also the schools of rural are become farer. Hence, I hope internet access can be provided in rural areas as soon as possible so that all the students from Malaysia can be exposed to the world of technology and will not be left out the era of globalisation.
