Preparation for the art gallery excursion NSW

we are going to the Art Gallery of NSW on 20th October 2016. In this excursion we are going  to use our skills such as mapping, observing and hearing. We will be exploring the culture and the time periods of the different Aboriginal  art works by famous artists. By using our observation skills, we will be writing down important notes.This data will then be used in our tasks in the class.  So i am really very excited  to go on this excursion organised by Granville tafe.

Here are the directions from St.James station.

Reflection on Twitter

Reflection On Twitter

An important  tool i learned to use this EAP semester  was Twitter. At present  i am extremely uncomfortable using twitter . However , i will be like an  old hand  at twitter in coming days. It offers  me micro - blogging services  to communicate via Twitter post (tweets) on laptops , smartphones and any other devices  with internet  access.For me ,It became an effective  teaching and learning tool in academic  studies.  I am going to use as a personal and professional tool after the completion of this EAP. As a registered user i can share information  with peers, easily communicate with other students  that are considered as real -time news source .In this way, i can get a lifelong  learning experience .

Twitter is useful as an academic tool ,it helps in meeting new  people in  all disciplines, academic  support  for finding new ideas ,people's blogs and publication that  definitely  ,increased visibility  . Through Twitter, i  can meet others who share my  research interests. we may   be able to collaborate on group assignments or projects . we  can write about anything by using our  right of speech. It is useful  for  academic arguments    face to face  and very quickly  allows me to spread the word  of my work  to other academic audiences. and also  allows me to interact with other scholars .Certainly, twitter makes it possible for me to engage with the global   community even though  i  now live in Australia .Moreover, it also facilitates real - time chat through  the use of hashtags. By creating their own hashtag, students can invite participants from around the world to take part in instant research by contributing to a live discussion on any given topic . Furthermore,it facilitates direct contact with leaders in any given field. Encourage students to ask questions from world-renowned scientists and thinkers.Above all, it is  limited  only   to  people who are registered  users. I would love to  use twitter to enhance my research and Knowledge exchange activities just to  have good academic sense .
