Through this steps, we can learn the way of using the Open Office Writer and explore the usage of yahoo group including steps of uploading and saving files into individual's database.

The report produced after our discussion (me and Fadhli), we decided to state 2 problems of Learning ICT in Malaysia together with the ways to tackle the problems. We had taken reference from the given choices in the task sheet.

We stress on the problems that students face due to the inability of teachers to guide and to cope with the ICT subject that is required to meet the students level of expectation. The insufficient amount of equipments can be a big problem to students and to everyone in the education institution as students may need to wait and sometimes to skip classes of ICT to adjust to the problem.

 Our group focused on educational institution in Malaysia as the task demands us to write the literary review based on problems faced in Malaysia. The primary level of ICT learning starts in educational institution, so by enhancing and focusing on this sector, we believe we can find a solution to the problem faced. 

We feel that students facing difficulties in learning about ICT is generally generated by the problems faced by the goverment. The goverment could infuse a considerable amount of money that can help school upgrade their current ICT system and add the required number of equipment that can support the number of students wanting to learn ICT.

A ICT lab coordinator should be employed and assigned to assist the teacher or the educator in a learning session to help him/her during the lesson. This employment of (ICT lab coordinator) can increase the information level that the students can obtain. the preparation and the basic steps can be conducted by this coordinator leaving the teacher to focus on teaching more advanced learning of ICT.

We will conduct a survey on this problem to identify the level of interest and the best solution to this problem.
