Last Class

.. Wow, that's fast. we have come to the end of our semester.
As usual we are having our class today, we are shown by Pn Foziah on the videos that we have created. We can see that everyone have put in their very best and hard effort in producing the videos. Some use the theme of environmental issue, saving the extinct animals, love, friendship, holiday etc. A big clap to all of us. I see there is potential in each of us in becoming a production manager. Well, that's good news to be hear, right? hehe...
Hmm... I would say this course has enable us to learn a lot of things. We are taught to fully utilise the technology. we are taught on how to edit pictures in photoshop, how to create and edit video by using window movie maker, how to edit and cut song using audacity.

Well, I would say that all of these are really fun as we can use all these knowledge learnt to be applied in the teaching and learning process in the classroom in the future. With these, we believe we will be able to come out with very interesting, attractive and effective teaching aids in the classroom.

Video Editing

Here comes another week. Today we are asked to submit our task 2-e-Book, task 3-the lesson plan, and also module 2. Then we work on our video editing with our partner.

My theme for the video is mother nature which is basically about the environmental issues that we have in our daily life nowadays. We thought the video is good enough as we have arranged the pictures in sequences which starts from the beautiful environment that we have had before the disruption of the earth. we then present the video by inserting the pictures of how human beings begin to destroy the mother nature by causing land, water, and air pollution which subsequently causes natural disaster such as tornado, tsunami, earthquake, volcano eruption etc to happen. There, we tell the story by using the pictures and make them into a video. We have too, inserted the next part where we helps to heal the world, heal our mother nature by doing and joining meaningful activities such as planting trees, collecting rubbish and recycling etc. These brings out clear image to the pupils on the awareness of environmental issues as well as the part and the role that we should play to help our world. However, when we shown to Mdm Foziah about our video, she said it should be personalised which means that we ourselves should be inside the pictures in order to bring out the message to the pupils. We must too, remember that we as, teachers should be aware that we are the role model. Therefore, we should capture our own picture and put them into the video in order to persuade the pupils in putting words into actions.

Hence, we are trying to edit by putting our pictures into the video to make it more realistic as well as making it more effective in bringing the awareness to the pupils. we are still editing on it.
Hopefully, it will be a better and a more effective one.
That's all for this week.
see you.

E-Book

This week, we started our class by being shown on the sample of e-book that has been done by Pn Foziah herself. We were shown and told how an e-book should be looked like. We were told to be careful and be more selective in the pictures that we are going to use in our e-book as it should attract the pupils’ attentions as well as initiate their interest in reading it. we were also remind on some of the aspects as stated below:

For e-book, there must be:

1) a theme to the story.
2) setting (time and place)
3) plot that shows the conflict, climax and resolution
4) characterization
5) navigational tools to make sure the slides can work properly (can go to next slide and previous slide)
6) pictures must be clear cut and colourful, no different shades or shadows.
7) sound to accompany the e-book reading.

This is to ensure that we would be able to produce a useful and interesting e-book in delivering the messages effectively to the pupils. To make it more interesting, my partner and I have also do some animations on the pictures, sound effect and sound recording to make the story more realistic. For this, children can click on the slides one by one according to their reading speed.

Besides, we were also shown on how to do videos and were introduced to some softwares that we can use in creating a movie. We were too, given extra module 2 which are much more challenging and complicated than the one we have did before this.

Well, I guess that’s all for this week reflection. See you.

Picture Editing

Hi, everyone.

Here comes another week reflection.
Well, today as usual we attended our class.
We were first shown by Pn Foziah on the tutorial on how we can edit the pictures perfectly. I was totally amazed and can see the hard effort paid behind the scene by the picture editor. And realised the powerful of photoshop software. As picture tells a thousand word, we can actually use a picture to portray our thinking without having us saying out our thoughts. Amazing, right?
Well, it seems to be easy in editing one picture. However, Please do bear in mind that editing a good and prefect picture is not easy either. We have to be really creative as well as innovative.
We were then asked to edit one picture of our own in order to bring the picture's message clearly and then upload in the assigned photobucket account. For me, I have chosen the theme of 'Helping Hand' where i combined all the four pictures together in a collage layout.


Hopefully, this can bring out the intended message clearly to the viewer and too, persuade them to lend their helping hand to those who needed in the natural disaster such as earthquake, tsunami, war etc.

I believe LOVE is around us. I believe LOVE is always in our heart.
Therefore, I think this picture is good to bring out LOVE to everyone..
