My experience at RLabs

My name is Canny Petrus and i am going to tell you the difference between the Web and the Internet.
Internet-is a collection of computers that are connected to one another in a global network.It existed since the mid 1960s.
Web-is the collection of interlinked documents that are accessible through a web browser.The internet is the infrastructure that makes the web possible.This only came into being since 1991.

Most people have misunderstandings about downloading,most of us think downloading is when we take pictures,videos or music from the internet to our phones or computer but the real meaning of downloading is when we watch videos,look at pictures,listen to music or read texts online and i say that because for it to be possible the internet is connected to a server and it's the server that sends the information onto the internet,meaning when you watch a video or listen to music on the internet it first has to run from a server then to the internet.

What is the best way to communicate online?
For this i recommend forums.This is a site where people with the same interests come together and post threads on certain topics to agree or disagree.Please try it out,it's really fun

It was great sharing my knowledge with you.
Thanks to the RLabs family.

What i have gained from RLabs

The incredible experience i gain at RLabs, ever since i stepped a foot in NBIC i have gainned so much that has to do with social media and digital media. As i was taught how create a gmail account and how to attach documents.  The difference between downloading is taking something of the internet and uploading is putting something on the internet.
This are my 2 favourites out of the 9 ways of thinking outside the box always have a question for everything and spend quality time with your brain.
I am going to round off what I have learned in the social media training of RLabs Namibia. Before i go in into details, RLabs stands for reconstructing living labs and it was found by Marlon Paker, in 2008.  RLabs is a global movement and registered social enterprise that provides innovative solutions to address various complex.  Now what what I have learned, so far  is how to create different kind of accounts on the net, faster and easier than before.  Internet which is the connection of different computer connected to each other. WWW stand for world wide web and its a document saved on the server.
web 1.0 here people don't comment.  e.g newspaper
web 2.0 here the people do comment. e.g Facebook and twitter
web2.0 this is still to come.

Last but least on this, its protocol which is certain rules to follow, on how to do something.  Now in computer there is also a word called computer protocol which is the number on the computer to trace it or know its whereabouts.

R-LABS AND THE GOOD OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU GET.

 First of all I learn what R-LAB was actually about,whereby I found out it's a global movement and a register social enterprise. Also about its core activities,the type of things it provide to us.
The other part we learn is about G-mail,whereby we compared between G-mail and Yahoo. I found it that G-mail is more saver then Yahoo,because at Yahoo your account will be hacked easily.

Caches were also part of the lesson,whereby you delete all your old information you have in your PC including from the recycle bin. We talk about search engines which is a database system designed to index and catagorise internet addresses. We were also taught how to how open a G-mail account as well as facebook account for people that didn't a account. We learn about the the different domains.

We also differentiate between uploading and downloading. We did evaluating an online source whereby you could see wether its a dead or alive site. As well as doing research online,how to search as brief as possible. How to do folders and tags on delicious,using bookmarks on internet ,adding links on delicious .
Not to forget we were also taught to do a wikipedia page for our school whereby you must include the achievements,history and the school principle.

rlabs forever!

In the nutshell- rlabs is a ball!

I can Maximize the potential of my computer on and off line. Online multi-tasking has never been easier! I have got a drop box and my work loads follows me and shortcuts to my favorite links. I manage and organize my info with ease making it a breeze. Confidence in public speaking is also taught. Speaking in front  of the class is not as easy as just standing up and start taking. The right posture, tone and voice level is required. Looking at your audience is necessary to show not only that you know what you are taking about but helps people gain trust in what you have to say and win them over.

The benefits of attending classes at rlabs are life long skills and which one will never loose. I love coming to class and don't miss any lesson. Thank you rlabs I value my lessons and will cherish them forever!

RLabs Namibia training



It is just my first two weeks that I have attended this training and it seems like I had been here for a month, because what I have learned is much more than a person can learn in such a period of time.  The first thing I came to know is that social network mad for us to connect us with the entire world to make our voice heard, market our products and business to be know (advertisement) at low cost. It introduces us to new friend everyday and this makes better connection between you and your friends (customers). I have also learned how to collect data using social media which is faster and easy to make conclusion out of their data. It’s easy to say but hard to make someone believe it. So far I learned a lot, there are many different social networks that I have started to use now, which I had never try to make even an attempt to use them before. It was not a fact that I don’t want to use them, but it was because I don’t know them and what to use them for. I am quiet sharpen up and I got the first touch. I can say wonderful to RLabs Namibia training, I can smell it and test the taste of it. It is quiet so sweet and eatable. If it was food then I will add it my dairy menu.

Thank you RLabs Namibia! I do expect to learn more as the training continue.
