and the video comes

We learn new thing this week...... ~~~~~~ VIDEO EDITING~~~~~~

And that is also our next task..... Sigh...........................................

Pn Foziah showed us a few videos about Chun and Ella (her favourite Taiwanesse actor and actress)... The videos were very interesting and really attractive.... It was made of stiffed pictures and were combined to become the videos....

And the task for us is to create a video... We have to do the task in pairs and i have Azreil as my pair... And we were given time by Pn Foziah to think about the idea for our video.... Then, we had to discuss the idea with her to see whether it's suitable or not...

I not going to "reveal" our idea here... Because we want it to be surprise to others... hahahhaha....

There's nothing much happen that day... Just the above had... huhuhuhu...

i) e-Book (tutorials , Softcopy, slides)

ii) Photo Editing (tutorials

iii) Audio Editing --> Individual (tutorials MS PPT&MS WORD), Softcopy, Hardcopy)

The first hour of the class was for submitting task.... It was quite chaotic but still can be handled by us....

Then, we were assigned with two task... The first task is to discuss the fourth topic in the book "Teaching English in the Primary Classroom". We also have to do as usual, preparing the slides for presentation later.... The second task is that we have to read an article and discuss about it.. Luckily my group got not-so long article... just 6 pages.. hahhahaha... other groups must be jealous with us... first come first serve rite? hahhaha... the article that we got is about "Use of Technology in English Language Learning"... The article is good because it giving us an idea of how to use the technology such as internet, computer to support English language learning...

That's all that happen that day... And I think that's enough already for me to babble here... See ya in next post...

the electronic book

Hallo.... Sorry for this late entry... (actually, my blog has been late for two weeks... huhuhu... too many works need to be done this few weeks....)

e-Book is our next task for this particular week... it was quite interesting because we were going to do an "electronic-Book"... It is like a children story book where it is suppossed to be simple, short, interesting, educating and enjoyable for the children in the primary school...

Pn Foziah had given quite a detailed lecture on the task where she had lined out all the criteria that should be taken into consideration by us in developing our e-Book. A few of the criteria includes the characters, the setting, the choice of font we use, colours, pictures and so on... It is true that we have to really pay attention to the criteria for the e-Book because it will ensure that our final products can fulfil all the criteria and hence educating and interesting.....

For this task, I had created my own story entitled "Cumi, My Cat"... Well, it is a simple story for children (targeted for Year 3 pupils). First of all before i could come out with the story, i had to refer to the primary school syllabus for primary school where i had to make sure that my story would be based on one of the units listed. My story is under the Unit 4 (Chapter: Animal and Pet).

Briefly, my e-Book is about a story of a 9 years old girl, Sarah who has a pet cat named Cumi. She really loves her cat and likes to play with it. But, suddenly Cumi falls sick and this has make Sarah sad and worried. After her father takes Cumi to the veterinary clinic, Cumi is not sick anymore and Sarah is not sad anymore. She finally realizes that she really loves Cumi and does not want anything to happen to it.

There are many steps had to be carried out in developing this e-Book such as selecting the characters, editing the pictures, selecting the suitable sound effects and musics and so on. But, fnally, i managed to finished my e-Book. Thanks to Pn Foziah who actually had postponed the due date for submitting the e-Book. It was a relief because it was holiday week where we had to develop the e-Book and most of us went back to our hometown. There was no internet connection here in my hometown and i had to go the the cc every day to surf the net. it was tiring and complicated.

that's all folks... see you in next post....

audio oh yeahh

we meet again! and this time, it's refreshing !

ok, enough about that. today, pn foziah did not seems very active as she does before and she told us to finish our own work before she started off with her lecture as she wanted to take a rest for a while...and i'm a happily blog-hoppers :)

the topic for today was quite interesting since it was related with songs! i'm sure everyone likes music and songs, aite? WE ALL DO
so, today we were taught to edit the audio in terms of noise, songs, instrumental music, talks and etc. and enhance it so that it will turn out to be superb! if we were creative enough, we are able to create a nice song and i'll try to make one =)

there are many softwares that can be used to edit audio such as Audacity, Sony SoundForge and even Movie Maker! some of these softwares are really fun since we can freely edit our own songs or sound files just how we want it to be! as we are future teachers who will be teaching 21st century kids later, we have to be really prepared so that we are able to deal with their needs and the upcoming challenges. hence, learning how to edit audio is one of the skills that we should have so that we are able to come up with our own songs or edit audio according to what we are planning to teach on that particular day.

on a final note, what we are learning now is to prepare us for the teaching tomorrow!

this is how

before i begin, i just want to tell that this entry has nothing to do with the subject and all..i just want to share some thoughts and feelings of HOW I FEEL about everything..

learning is not very interesting for some poeple but others might not feel like that. that's simply because HUMAN ARE DIFFERENT!
we are special in our own way and the way we do things sometimes will reflect on our personality[tak bnyak pun, sikit la..]
and in this condition, i believe that it is very important to treat people differently according to their personality. for example,
- an easy going person, treat them as one, make jokes, give and take, considerate and etc and
- sensitive person, care about them, be sensitive on their feelings, don't use harsh words which might makes them hurt and etc...

it seems very difficult yet this is the price we have to pay if we want to be accepted in community. do you want to be isolated just because you openly commented on people's work? for me , it's a BIG no no..i don't want to be isolated just because of my "slips of the tongue".

yes, i know that we do have "freedom of speech" but use it properly. some things are meant to be kept as secret and some things are meant to be told. YOU CHOOSE! it will be nicer if you choose your words properly. i believe that ALL people did not like to hear harsh words, although they like to use one! it is not a harm to keep to yourself of what you feel about ather people, at the end of the day, you will find yourself forget and forgive of what had been said to you or what you feel about others.

yes, i know that many people will say that it is a hypocrite person who do things like that and i tell you what, sometimes we got to be hypocrite because sometimes what we heard is also hypocracy..and there's hardly any truth in this world. this is real world, where all types of people can be find and it is up to us to which category we want to fall into..
and if you ever asked me, i want to fall into people who makes difference to people's life and give impact to them :)

yes, i know that some people will say that
"why should i care for them? they didn't even care for me!"
have you heard of 'what you give, you get back' ?
yes!! if you care for them, sooner or later, they will care for you too! read me: CARE
believe me. it did happened ^^
we have to always remember that ALLAH is kind to us because He loves us! He will give what we want, regardless it is impossible or not. and in return, devote ourself to Him, The Great!

yes, i know that it is hard for us to be nice with everyone around us, but it is not a crime if we try it right? we have our own emotions...you, me and everyone! i do admit that sometimes, if i feel sad or angry, and it happened to be shown through my expressions, i just can't help to be nice with people too. the emotions will affect me very much.

living in a community charged us to be nice to people around. we cannot just want others to follow what we want but sometimes, we have to follow what others want, too! it's a give and take things...and if you willing to do so, then you will lead a HAPPY life..with people around you, with good friends who willing to help and care for you...what else do you want??

ROFL

Today, we were given task to discuss on how children learn at their best in groups of 6. My group has been assigned with the third point which is "children's capacity of indirect learning"..from what i understand and read, children sometimes seem to notice something out of the corner of their eye and to remember it better than what they were actually supposed to be learning...it is just a miracle to know that these bunch of kids are actually developing something in their mind!hence, we cannot deny the fact that we are responsible to "colour" them, to "shape" them and to "mould" them...

To add on the excitement in this class, i also find out that we will also learn about photo editing which will be very interesting [i guess!], audio and video editing, internet skills as well as software skills. i really can’t wait to learn on these things! And i am very sure WE will all enjoy the class very much!

As what i mentioned in my space-blogs for technology, we were also given freedom on exploring the computer and the internet on our own and i get to know many things which i am quite blur before for example how to change templates for our blogs besides where to paste the skin codes that we copied from certain website..Before this, words like HTML is like an “alien” for me where i did not utilize it at all, but now, i am able to use it at its best! i also get to learn that we can go to Smart Board application if we wants to digitize our signature and use it in any documents!

I am quite satisfy with myself today since i got to learn many things about the internet, regardless it comes from me or my friends. i believe that if i keep discover and explore the computer, i won’t be afraid of it anymore! Quoting my science lecturer phrase which is “don’t fight with your rival, but fight with the situation!”

xoxo

would be my third class and my third reflection for this particular subject..and guess what, i am quite impressed with myself [pat my shoulder =p] because i'm able to survive until now...oh well, it might sounds boring to some people but, for me, it's not..because being able to survive in a new environment and everything around is new, is quite difficult for a person like me...and i am looking forward to develop and improve myself with new things ...GAMBATTE NE!

today, we are learning about how to search for mp3 files and all...this is quite new for me as we have to record each processes into the word document using the "print screen" button and paste it into word document. the process of finding the songs is not new as i do it everyday[mind you, i like to downloaded vidoes or songs from the net] but the recording-each-process thing is something that i found quite intersting and exciting...before this, i did not really know how to use some buttons on my keyboard and they are left un"attended" except for the alphabet button[ assignment needs, of course!=p] so, this wpould be such new knowledge for me and i'm sure to utilize it well..^_^

there are many things that we can do just by using our own fingertips!well, the world is boarderless now and what do you expect from it? everything can be done in just a minute or just a seconds! OH MY GOD! can you believe it? what on earth our technology has been developing nowadays...thank GOD, i am born in this century and i am very grateful that i am not one of those who did not get the opportunity to learn or even write...

okay, back to our topic just now, many things can be done although we are in our home, things like paying bills, shopping, updating new information or even reaidng books, can be done online! we don't need to go out and search for it, it will come to you...oh, how luxury life is at this time =p
but, in every strengh, there are weaknesses, aite? it's normal because we are human, and human makes mistakes..technology sometimes can bring harms to us..somehow, it limit our contact with real life or even real people! why? this is because we did not get out from the house to carry out our routines, we do it through the net and net does not requires us to have contact with other poeple and we are just sit on the chair 24/7 ...hahah...u know right the effects?

i think that's all for now...enough of babbling here
so, think for yourself and till then,
