video reflection and upcoming project! :-)

Prof Maznah and all 78 of us reflected on the video project. It was fun since we got the chance to express the sweet and sour moments we went through in the project.We had a very casual talk among each other sharing our ideas on how to make the video project more meaningful and useful in future. Then, we discovered what were the soft skills used and experienced by us during the entire project when Prof Maznah discussed about it. I was glad that i am able to acquire most of the skills such as cooperation, determination, motivation and etc. Then, another interesting event was added into my diary, the 3rd assignment! Its totally on how to use smartboard notebook to explore on a teaching topic. It sound very enjoying! We were to stick into the same group and start exploring and thank god we were able to divide our jobs and decide on which topic each to be taken. All of us without heart feelings gave green light to each other! And whats next ? Of course, got to prepare and start putting our thought on how to make it a success, rite?

principles in learning TECH

SMART BOARD realy WORTH WHiLE

Well, let put a fullstop for video clip first. its over. This week , we had the chance to approach a smart board experienced user, Ms Fenny during our lesson. She really benefitted us with her ideas on smart board -interacive board. she shared as much as she can. shortly telling, smart board is worth while! You must never miss the chance of learning. just grap the opportunity. Teachers especially can really make use of it in their lesson. what you can't find there? Everything is there awaiting for you in smart board. so, i feel the government should give emphasis on this crucial component and fix each school a smart board so that teachers as well as students can be exposed to the functions of smart board. It easifies and simplifies their jobs and save much time. In our class, although we were already exposed to smart board, but still there were limited chance to explore it, but Ms. Fenny hepled us to explore and teach some new items in it which i found very interseting, meaningful and useful for me as a future teacher. Hope my school in future will have smart board facilities and i can use all my ideas here and apply for my kids in school. We were assigned to do a lesson using smart board , and we have done it as best as we can...:--))

Gained Alot!

After undergoing my video clip project, it is amazing to say that i gained alot from it. I chose Power Director soft ware which was recommended by lecture. It is obviously user friendly and i found it easy to handle it.now i have almost done my job and a sense of relief crossing in my heart. I have made my project as interesting as i can by adding animations, colourful wordings and attracting clips which will sure impress the children.this are some clips from my video clip.hope all uf you will enjoy watching it and feel free to comment in youtube soon.TQ.

Ops, video clip AGAIN!

The drive into this assignment is moving rapidly since the due date is chasing me away. At first, I struggled hard and cracked my head for converters and video editing soft wares. But with the help of my close members, I got them easily. For few days, I was exploring those soft wares to get used to them and now I can say that I am 50% done on my video project. But, still there are a lot for me. I got to do it. It is unbelievable that, nowadays most of my time is spent on the laptop. It’s quite sickening but sometimes I would feel some thrills and excitements in it. Obviously, I am learning a lot of new thing from this. I am very pleased and glad for that. But again, when I started thinking about this assignment, my heart will start pounding hard. Maybe I still have the fear of technology. It should be better when time goes. Hope I’ll do it well!

ALL ABOUT VIDEO CLIP!

To add the excitement in technology, we were assigned to create a video clip for 3 minutes for the ESL classroom. It sounds really fun but somehow challenging, since I never had experience in it. We were required to move in groups although it was an individual assessment. I agree with it because, we can help each other, share ideas and at the same time make sure that all of us are in the same track. So, we brainstormed thoroughly and worked well on what topic to choose. Roughly, our video is going to be somehow related but we are going to explore on five different topics such as occupation, transportation, hobbies, clothes and places. We are going to zoom into the nouns found in those topics. We definitely feel that, it will help the lower primary pupils because they are at the stage of enriching their vocabularies. Actually, we still haven’t immerse into the assignment yet but still at the early planning stage. But some ideas are playing around our mind on which strategy to be used:- puppets, animations, story or song? As for now, we are collecting some software on downloading and editing for the benefit of our assignment. Very soon, we will start working on it since we are crystal clear on the requirement needed. Good luck for us and others as well! Thank you Professor Maznah and Ms Ng for enlightening us about the assignment.
