reflection

What do I like about blogging?
i like blogging because we could express our opinion and tell others about what we fell. but if there is no point or i can say useless if we cannot tell other about the truth...

What I do not like about blogging?
the blog should be updated weekly and that will make me feel burdened with the responsibility.

What have I gained from blogging?How?
i have gain a lot of skills in using internet by blogging. when reading others blog, we could share our skills and thoughts


What do I like about the course?
i like this course because it equipped me with the knowledge of technology and how to use it in classroom.

What I don't like about the course?
a lot of task, task , and task that i could not balance with other subject

What I have learnt from the course?
i have learnt all the crucial things in computer software such as photo editing, video editing and to use other software.

What I don't expect but have learnt from the course
i dont expect to learn how to make tutorials...

What I have expected but not learnt from the course
i thought that this course will teach on how to developed teaching aids not only by using technology but also traditional ways

If you can change anything about the course, state and explain what it is
i think the course is perfect but the task is too much and it will burden the students because we also have other subject too. in addition, the task should not have tutorial in it because it takes a long time not to finish the task but to do the tutorial.

Games for children

The 13th week- we have to explore cd game that could be used in the process of teaching and learning. The funny parts is the cd that is given to us cannot operate in windows xp. it says that the software could only run in windows 95. windows 95?... luckily there are hackers that make tricks and like a magic, the software could run in xp platform.
The software is quite good to be used in the classroom but the teacher should show how it works first. its contains a lot of mind craking game that will make pupils feel excited to finish the game. i also feel very enjoy while playing the game. overall, the use of game is very good because it provide a nonthreatening environment while learning.

Assignment again

After raya we have to submit the assignment. the assignment are regarding the four skills that is listening, reading, writing, and speaking. we had to do all four lesson plan. The lesson must be different and cannot be the same. i feel like squeezing a juice from a rock to create the activity and the task sheet.
Luckily, i manage to accomplish the task given although it takes a long time and a few days without sleep. i had to buy new ink for printing all of the assignment. actually the lesson plan is just a little but the tutorial is too much to print.
I did not understand why the assignment need to be submitted in hard and soft copy. from my opinion, the assignment should be submitted only in the soft copy. this is because in hard copy, we have to buy papers and ink for printer. the ink is about RM6o per catridge. usually i only buy one catridge for one sem. but this sem i cant remember how many that ive bought.
Its just an opinion from an ordinary bstudents like me. i think others would not have problem with it because they have a lot money....

Selamat Hari Raya

This week is raya week. after fasting for a month, we have chance to celebrate our victory. I feel very sad that fasting moth had pass. Actually, there are so many advantages by fasting for muslim. By fasting, we could make our body healthy. in addition, we could save money because we dont have to eat during the daytime. By the way, this Raya give me chances to improve our friendship with others and ask forgiveness from others. This raya give me spirit to learn better and improve my learning and open a new book in my life..

searching and fasting

Its the fasting month. This is the holy month that we as muslim have to fast during dayligh. this is a very good advantages because we could use our eating time to do educational work that has been set for us. but for me, i feel a bit dissapointed because there's a lot of work that we must spent our night finishing the task given.
suppostly, during this ramadhan we fill our night with prayes and recite the holy Quran but due to heavy work we could not did not have time... i dont know about the others but i have a lot of sin and that i should repent.
The task for the week is to search the article for the educational use. i didnt see where we will use this article and when. but i just obey the instruction because this is the course requirement i think. as always, in the end it doesnt even matter.

Microsost Publisher

For this week, we are given a chance to enhance our skills in using computer software. we have to explore microsoft publisher. our task is to do newsletter, name card, poster, pamplets and many more. i found that it is easy to use this software because it already have its own template and we only choose the suitable template for our work. i think this is very good lesson because i can gain new knowledge about it because i am not an it literate. i will try ny best in completing this tasks.

4 skills

For this week, we had assign for the four skills that is listening, speaking, reading, and writing. for me this task is very good because we can identify the four skills in dept that we could use when teaching. there are four people in group. i have to do the writing skill. i had develop a lesson body parts for the writing. the process in making the task is very easy and fun but as usual the problem is the tutorial. after finishing the lesson, we compile it together and submit it to the lecturer.

e-book

E-book? what is e-book? after learning about e-book, only i know what is e-book is all about. it is just the same as book but it is more interactive that contains narrations, sound, music, and colourful pictures. After that we are assign to do an e-book. i feel very happy because this will add one more task that i have to complete. we have to do it in pairs. the e-book looks quite good and have a lots of sounds and animation. we had to do the tutorial and it is very hard beacuse we had to print screen everything and paste it on the microsoft word. i'm very glad that the lecturer ask us to do the tutorial because it will make me happy. i will feel very happy when there are a lot of work because it will release my tension. Thank God!

Video editting

We are assign to do a video in pair by using a theme that show differences in life. for example, good and bad. we had decided to make a video entitled love and friendship. during the shooting, i have problems to find the correct pace to take picture but at last, we only take picture at the faculty of education. I used a software called power director. it is trouble some to make this video because to render a video, i have to use a powerful computer and the problem is my pc is not power enough to do this video. for the solution, i spend Rm 500 to upgrade my pc only for this task only. The graphic is up to 512 mb and 128 bit. After the upgrade, i manage to do the video editing task. i know it sounds very funny because i have to spend that much to upgrade my pc only to do the task. people can lough at me but this is the challenge that students have to face in order to completing a task..only a taskkk.....

Management

It has been a while since i update my blog. i think i am not very good at management. i have already forgotten what i have been through for all of the past week. maybe there is nothing special in class that i could not remember the lesson..Anyway, i will try to remember and write all the reflection for the all week. i have to improve my management because as i remember, i did not take only this subject in UM. i also have another subject that have to learn and do a lot of assignment. Frankly, i think this subject is so heavy. lots of work, work and work. in the end, it doesnt even matter.....

fifth week

fuhh. after finished edited pictures, we learn anew things on how to edit an audio.
wow. it was very fun. we could mix some audio with the another and many more. i think everybody like to learn this skill. but i fell a little disappointed because we didn't provided the software to edit the audio and we had to download ourselves where it is very difficult to find. but overall i'm very happy because i manage to accomplish the task given...
