Before the class dismiss, En Affandy ask to choose internet application for teaching & learning. Doing by microsoft word and must 1 page only. I would like to choose twitter for teaching & learning because twitter is a free, online social media tool, found at Twitter.com. You can also download the app onto your computer, tablet or phone. Once you have your account set up, you can post, or tweet, your thoughts in messages of 140 characters or less. That tweet can include a link to another website, a video, or photo. You can also share something someone else has posted through a re-tweet. After submit at e-learning UTM, En Affandy choose random student to present about why they choose that internet application, explain how to implement application in teaching and advantages and drawbacks in impleting the application.
