Hi everyone! My name is Maile Yap, and here is my first blog post for Ed279 class and first blog post ever. I am just the average tech-y. I email and facebook, and that's pretty much it. I think I'll learn a whole lot from this class this semester.
To answer the question, what is my favorite technology gadget or gizmo? I would have to say that I love my iPhone. I finally got an iPhone in March and I am hooked. All these other new phones that can share videos by just tapping them together, I don't buy it. I can't wait to get the iPhone5 in March (because I'm not paying a ridiculous amount of money when it will be cheaper in a few months).
To describe my work style. I am pretty good at online classes. I have been doing them for about 4 semesters , a total of 8 classes online. I turn in assignments on time and always do my best. 2 skills or traits that I will bring to an online group is that I am easy to get in contact with. I always have my cell on me and I frequently check my email. Another is that I am a bit of a perfectionist. When I do a task, I do it well and make sure that task is completed at a timely matter. I panic when something doesn't go right or according to schedule (that could also be a flaw too...). But if we're in a group together, we are going to get the project done on time and it will be awesome.
Linked is a video about how Singapore is integrating technology into their education system. I thought this would be an interesting video because I am from Singapore. (Don't worry if you can't follow along with their Singaporean accent... I was born and raised there and I can't follow along with it very well either!)

Hope you enjoyed my first blog!
Maile :)
