My name is Zuhura
Selemani. I am a Tutorial Assistant at the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication of the University of Dar es Salaam. I am a journalist by
profession, specialized in radio production and broadcasting.
The whole of this week,
I am attending training on the training on the effective use of Internet in
modern journalism world; that is conducted in Dar es Salaam city centre.
The training discussion
is on how internet usage has changed the world in every sphere of life. Also how internet can facilitate fact finding,
research, news monitoring and publication in news media.
The very main
expectation that I have is to acquire skills, knowledge and experience from the
facilitator and my colleagues regarding this topic so that I can be in a good
position of sharing the acquired expertise to my students and co workers.
SESSION ONE:
On the first day of the
training, I learned how use internet to perform several online actions such as online
booking for a train from Helsinki to Turku. I also learned how to book for a
flight-Fast Jet to and from Dar es Salaam to Mwanza.
Apart from that, I get
to know different websites that are very potential in the sense of online
shopping sites such as eBay and Amazon, internet games such as miniclip.com,
online video and audio such as You Tube & napster.com, investigative sites
such as wikileaks.com and other information giving sites such as Wikipedia the
free encyclopedia.
What I liked most
during the session was the fact that we were doing things in a practical way. Being
taught about how we can do online booking was meaningful after we had a
practical part of it. Again, the fact that we are discussing about
internet-which creates network; therefore the introductory part was meaningful
as it enabled participant to know each other. It is my hope that this is the beginning
of a creation of a new network that will enable participants to create a
network which will help them now and in the near future.
