Google Site

During our study at Dubai Women's College we have to study Management Information system and one of the related project to this course is Google Practical.As we previously learned about Google Tools we illustrated what we learned learned from the tools into a Google Site and Google Blogs; both of them are tools in Google.

In Google Site I chose ten tools to explain about them and add what I I learned.I created different page for each of the ten tools with screen shots and brief explanations under each image.The easiest tool for me was Google Docs; because I already didn't for the Google Project so I didn't take much time in creating the page.In Gmail I found it all the way easy; but the Gspace feature took a longer time from me.Otherwise,creating such site was fairly easy.I spend a longer time in taking and saving the screen shots where I have to decide which screen shot I should upload on the site.

In Google Blog where I am writing now, we have to enter ten blogs each week starting from the 21st of OCT till the end of this blog.I tried my best to do them at time and I found it much easier than creating the site; because most of the things are already done but you have to personalize your own blog.In the one blog I added a video from TED website and I found about this website from Mr.Tridib Chatterji Our MIS instructor; and from the day that I knew about I am visiting the website regularly to look at the videos where I discovered new knowledge and things about life.

I learned and I had fun while working on these two projects.This project will help me out in my career and my daily life; because it bring the technology to your hand where many people knew about it and try to develop themselves.From my point of view, I can only say that I did a great job.

Role Play

In Business Management Financial Services we have a financial marketing course in this course our class students should pair up and does a role play according a study case which is in the book. Today, Shirin and I did our role play where an angry mood customers enter the bank and went directly to the manager and complained that 125000 dirhams was withdrawn from her account and when the manger checked the system she founded that the money was paid against a check deposited by other client ; however she was refusing that she signed anything and she said that the other client forged her signature while the other client insist that the cheque was signed against purchasing a diamond necklace we solved this problem by checking the signature of the check by the signature on the system and we told both of them will come with the updates as soon as possible. This role play helped should us and example of the real world problems which we might face in our career.

Bazaar

Dubai Women's has an annual event the Bazaar where students from all departments come up with a business idea and implement it during the three days of the event.This year the Bazaar was held on the 8th, 9th and 10th of December.The final year students are not participating in this event except the Business Management Financial Services students who volunteered to run the bank where students, staff visitors exchange their Dirham's to Dhows (college's currency).I was working in the main bank where the most important workis done.Everyday, we should disterbute the money to each students in the six bank branches located in different areas in the college.Each branch has two shifts and each shift has two students; so that anyone who wants to exchange the money they can go to the nearest bank branch.

In the main branch we also should convert the Dhows to Dirham's as we are the only branch who has the permission to do this transaction.At the end of each shift bankers from all branches comes to us to balance their cash boxes and we should be careful in calculating the amounts.The mean branch also deals with any problems which faces other branches.On the last day, the main branch should convert the business's incomes from Dhows to Dirham's and the bank should take 5% from the income and this percentage goes for charity.

I believe the the Bazaar gave me an opportunity to implement what I studied at college in real life and I really enjoyed working with my colleagues where all of us were co-operated.

The Holiday

We had an Eid & National Day holiday which was for 10 days from 26th Nov to 5th of Dec. During this holiday I spent the time with my family and worked on my projects.

On the first day of the Eid all the family gathered in our house and celebrated the Eid which we really enjoyed.On the second day, we went to visit my husbands aunt in Sharjah and had lunch with all of my husband relatives.On the third day, we went to the Address Hotel I really liked and enjoyed this day because I came out from the study environment and had fun; we stayed at the hotel for two nights and this we returned home. On the 3rd of Dec we went to Shangrilla Hotel; and we only stayed for the day because my sister in law suddenly gave birth of her new baby boy so we returned to Dubai.

The holiday came at a time that we need to have a short break and to manage our projects time.In my point of view the holiday was entertaining and I was excited.
