My name is Hosana Chrispino Sipon and I came from Sabah. I am from a moderate family; my father is a teacher and my mother is a clerk. I have 5 siblings and I am the third child. If I were to rate myself in terms of my computer skills, I will say that i'm a noob @ beginner because there are too many things that I never knew in the computer field.

For computer software, I think I have been left too behind if to compare with my other friends. But I know how to operate with few operating systems such as Windows XP, Vista, 7 and other operating system by linux such as Ubuntu. Lately, I have been learning to create website using the Dreamweaver CS4 which is not easy. For computer hardware, all I know is how to set up the RAM, speakers, monitor, ( includes the wiring ) and etc.

For my experience learning via the computer online, I think I have been learning online mostly on learning the guitar and the piano. Also, I used the computer to learn English online. The information provided by the world wide web is endless.

I haven't try to incorporate the technology in my practicum since I haven't done practicum but I've planned to use the technology since it is more convincing and flexible in terms of its usage. I can do a lot using technology such as Microsoft Power Point to teach pupil which we can include cartoons and other interesting stuff on it. Therefore I always agree of the usage of computer/ technology in language teaching since it is easy, convenient and learners can access it anytime, anywhere; as long as we have the tools.

Honestly, I expect a course that can teach me how to create a good website, how to master the CSS, and other multimedia things, then I will own a superb website with million visitors a day but I am aware that this is not a Multimedia course! :D So therefore, I expect I can master some of the technology that can be utilize as my teaching tools in the future. I do think that this course is the right platform for me to enhance my ability in using the technology not only in the teaching field but for my own benefit in the future as well.
