It's already the 12th week!

Salaam & hi everyone.

Time flies so fast. Two more pending weeks before we come to the end of this semester. My goodness, i still haven't completed my module 3 & 4 yet! Quite busy these few weeks. Hope i will be able to find a suitable time to work on the modules.

On the yesterday's class, Pn. Foziah had shown us a few examples of videos. Actually it aimed to help us for our next task. We need to produce a video by using Microsoft Power Point and we need to put in audio too.

For this task, we need to work in pairs and my partner is Adah.

Both of us have decided to make a story about shapes. We will create some characters by using the 3D Shapes and then we will record the voices of each character.

That's all.

Assalamualaikum.

Photo Editing Task

It's 11th week already.

One of the task for the Photo Editing is to produce a meaningful photo.

Out of sudden, i think of putting my pic onto a film poster. I spent almost 10 mins to find the most suitable picture to match with a film poster.

I used the Adobe CS3 and Photoscape software to produce the picture.

A film poster entitled "Cuti Cuti Cinta"

my pic

The final product

The process on producing this picture was not easy. It took an hour. Need to be extra patience.

That's all for now.

Time is running out!

Salaam & hi everyone.

We are already in the final day of September. 3 more weeks before the semester ends. Time flies so fast.

3 modules are done. 2 more modules are on the way!

We are heading towards the end of this semester and obviously there are many tasks and assignments that need to be completed. Not just only for this course but we need to prepare a teaching kit for our Technology course, working on a research for our Assessment, preparing a lesson for our Mathematics and presenting our research for both TITAS & Info Skill.

My wise advice to everyone, be cool! Dont be too stress! Time management is very important here.

After completing my last tutorial for Module 3, i realized the benefit of doing the modules. Actually, if we compile all the modules and sell it at bookshop, trust me, lots of people will buy it especially those IT beginners. In each and every module, we need to show every single steps of the tutorials which to me it was really beneficial to those who do not know how to download song, making a ringtone and even edit a picture.

To conclude, the modules that are prepared to us are not a burden actually since it has many benefits.

Lets enjoy doing the next module - Module 4!

Take care to all.

Happy Eid Mubarak 2010

Salaam & hi everyone.

I'd like to wish 'Happy Eid Fitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin' to all of you. We are already in the fourth day of Raya.

I still haven't completed few of my tasks. Module 3 still in the progress.

Btw, i'd like to share two tasks that Pn. Foziah had given to us. 1st, she emailed us a mp3 song entitled 'Dua Insan' sang by Dato Siti Nurhaliza & M Nasir. The song was taken from a live concert. So, we need to remove the noise (the clapping sound, the screaming sound) from the mp3 file. I had used the Audacity software to do that. However, i didn't really know how to do it. So, the noise was not 100% removed from the mp3 file. Should i say only 30%?

The next task, we need to create a ringtone. We need to choose a song and create a ringtone from it. Since we are still in Raya mood, i chose to use Dato Siti Nurhaliza's song - Anugerah Aidilfitri. I had used the MP3 Joiner & Splitter software to complete this task and i managed to create a ringtone for that song. Yeah!

That's all for now. Take care to all. Once again, Happy Eid Mubarak.

All children are unique

Salaam & hi everyone.

I would like to share some knowledge that i've gained from the presentations past few weeks.

All of us were divided into 6 groups and each group has been assigned to present on a subtopic given.

Here, i would like to share some input from my group's presentation.

My group had presented the subtopic of 'Children capacity for play and fun'. Children world is always associated with play and fun since they are more likely prefer doing physical works whereby they could move around and talk to their friends. Remember that kids are restless. By conducting games in classroom, it is the best idea to enhance their learning since students will generate their critical and creative thinking skill in problem solving. Games like Treasure Hunt or Spelling Bee will surely make them feel the enjoyment.

Besides that, it is crucial for teachers to make sure that in every lesson, there should be 10-15 minutes allocated for games or something which is fun. It is not necessary for the teachers to have games everyday, the teachers could also conduct a colouring or drawing activity in classroom. It is surely will be fun.

Thus, remember to all teachers out there, plan and prepare your lesson very well!

That's all.

Modules

Salaam & hi to all.

I have promised to myself to spend this weekend to complete my Module 2. The Module 2 is all about Photo Editing. This is not something new for me. I like to edit photo. To me, by editing a photo, we give a different mood to the photo and sometimes a normal picture can be outstanding after being edited.

The three software that i frequently used to edit photo are Photoscape, Picasa and Adobe Photoshop. Using the Photoscape & Picasa is much more easier compared to the Adobe Photoshop. You really need to master some skills of the Adobe Photoshop before you can utilize it.

Here, I would like to share one pic that i've edited with all of you. I used the Photoscape for this matter.

What do you think?

That's all for now. Need to concentrate on my Module 2.

Have a good weekend everyone! Assalamualaikum.

Preparing teaching aids...

Salaam & hola to all...

In the 5th week lecture, Pn. Foziah gave us a task which required us to design and prepare teaching aids for Year 1 to Year 6 classes. My partner, Hanani & I have been assigned to prepare some teaching aids for Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 students under three different topics, 'Story Time', 'Animals and Us' and 'Magical Movements'.

We've already submitted the assignment. We put all our efforts in completing that assignment. I really satisfied with my works.

Here, i would like to share a few teaching aids that have been used in my assignment.

Overall, i found this task is very beneficial for me as future teachers. Apart form black board & chalk, I could use the technology which is more interactive to make sure that my lesson will be more effective.

That's all for now. See ya next time! Have a good day.
