REPORT ACTIVITY OF CHAPTER 10 TRAINING CLASS

            Literacy and ICT class for regular evening class is held every Wednesday at 4.30 p.m. For Wednesday 9th, 2012 (today), we have Literacy and ICT class as usual. There are two presenters training the class of how to apply the chapters and practice the chapters. Chapter 10 is my turn. It talks about how to produce materials by using electronic materials whether online or installable software. According to chapter 10, “Hot Potatoes” is chosen as the easiest installable software. Next, this report will show the procedures of class activity for chapter 10 training.

            As additional information, the activity should be supported by wi-fi or internet connection because the software will be taken online on website. Unfortunately, the internet is not available in our class. In library, internet connection is not good enough for downloding the 9.1 Megabytes software as I already did before the class. It needs more than 15 minutes to download and install the software. So that, I prefer to practice the installable software on my laptop in front of the class and all my friends could come forward and practice together about the use of the software program. Bellow are the steps of training procedure.
