This will be my last post under #MANG2049, Living and Working on the Web (Singapore). Before my digital journey with MANG2049, I had never thought of identifying myself as a digital visitor or a digital resident. After identifying myself as a digital visitor, I had a better understanding of what I wanted to do with my social media accounts. I have always wondered if I should create another account on Facebook. Now, I believe that it is fine to have just one account and to keep it private. Continue reading →

The progressive learning of each topic really heightened my understanding of the digital era. Before we start, let’s refresh on what was covered so far shall we?

12 days. 12 days was all it took for me to realise the importance in keeping my online profile professional and to use the web responsibly. This is by far the only module which has taught me beyond the learning objectives. Here’s a summary of what I have been working on, enjoy!

With Singaporeans spending an average of 2.2 hours on social sites per day, I was completely lacking in a long-term management of my presence on the web! Before VS After Before the module, my social sites were merely for personal usage. I rarely read blogs, probably once in a blue moon, I might read up on a viral blog post or fashionista blogs. I never thought about participating in online discussions or being engaged in meaningful online conversations. Continue reading →

I shall start of with an enlightenment that this post doesn’t contain any vlogs, voice-overs or so. I’m saving people from the horror of seeing my face and hearing my voice, haha. Now, getting to serious mode. I’m sad that the module ends so soon and going to physical lectures again next week. This module has taught me more than what I thought I would be learning in this marketing degree. Continue reading →

Source: publicdomainpictures.net Learning and Working on the Web has indeed been an extraordinary learning experience. Prior to this, any Web activities were merely for communication or assignments and projects’ research that were just the peak of an amazing technological scene. I’m grateful to have gained a deeper understanding of what it’s truly like being online through the constructive feedback and patience given by my peers, Lisa, Sarah and Nicholas. Continue reading →

The Journey Having been part of the digital age, I thought I was well equipped for the digital world. Until this module, I was proven utterly wrong!

I am definitely not the best equipped for the digital world, but I am certainly better equipped and more aware than I first started. Continue reading →
