10th Week

This is our 10th week and today we are expected to submit our groups’ lesson plan as well as teaching aids. It was a great satisfaction when we were able to complete the task on time. In fact, my group and I were eager to submit our lesson plans and the teaching aids as we have put in so much effort to produce a creative and interesting one.

We were quite free today as Pn. Foziah asked us to continue doing module 2 and thanks to her for allocating us that precious time. I used this time to complete the tutorial that I do not know how to do by asking my friends. Besides, Pn. Foziah also asked us to view our senior’s works which are outstanding in order to set an example for us to produce a better one. I was really impressed with my senior’s work and that motivate me to produce a more creative one.

Next, Pn. Foziah asked us to submit module 3 the next day and she also gave us 3 tasks to be completed. We need to choose a song, and then edit it and make it in a ringtone. The next task is to cut and paste two songs together. The third task is to edit a song and to change the quality of the song to make it sound better. The editing must be done for the song ‘dua insan’ sung by siti and M.Nasir.

Thank God the module 3 is still with me as I can use it as my guidance. At the moment, I’m working on it and hope to finish the tasks as soon as possible because the date due is next day. That is all for this week. Bubye and see you in next entry

9th Week

Waiting in front of MK2, with the hope that Pn. Foziah will open the door but instead of Pn. Foziah, Haiqal and Ashraf came carrying a box. They told me that Pn. Foziah is away and we have another task MODULE 2. Thank God, I had already finished my module 3 and now it time to start Module 2.

“PHOTO EDITING”, this is what I waiting for since the beginning of this semester after Pn.Foziah explained to us about our course. I really had fun editing the photos and in fact I’m really impressed with the software like Adobe Photoshop, iPhto, Photo bucket, Photoscape and also Triscape FXfoto. Many times I got disappointed as some pictures taken during happy moment got spoiled due to ‘red eye’, ‘blemishes’ and ‘scratches’. But this is not a big deal as all the problems mentioned above can disappear in split second just by using the software that Pn. Foziah introduced in this module. I did not expect that I can do many things by just using a photo, for instance like changing background, adding frame and text to the picture and many more.

Although completing module 2 is really fun, yet it still consumes a lot of time. This is because we need to download the software before carrying out the tutorial. Besides downloading, I also spend a lot of time exploring the software in order to find for the particular icon to edit the photos. The easiest software that I had explored in this module is Triscape FXPhoto, where else the most difficult one is PhotoScape.

Anyway I still manage to complete MODULE 2 and now waiting forward for module 4 and 5. Just hoping that, MODULE 4 and 5 will also be something useful for us to explore and learned. That is all about my experience completing module 2, see me in next entry, BYEEEEEEEEEE : )

8th Week

This is the last week which is full of excitement as we are going back for Raya holiday. Before we went back, we were given module 3 and I was telling myself, HERE COMES ANOTHER TASK. I really enjoyed doing module 1 because I learned many new things but it is really time consuming especially when downloading certain software. Anyway I told myself that I must finish this task on time so that I can enjoy my holiday. Besides this module, Pn. Foziah also assigned us another task and I told myself, there is no enjoyment this holiday. Anyway I was determined to finish the entire task given to us before going back.

Module is all about Audio editing using audacity. I thank Pn. Foziah as this module is easier compared to module 1. There are 7 software that we need to explore in order to complete this module. This is also an exciting task as it is very useful for me as well as for my career in future. I was interested in using the audacity to cut audio, create minus one and also combining songs using Sony Vegas software. This is because I cut the music at the beginning of the song as I only prefer the song and I saved the song in my hand phone.

Next, the minus one is also very helpful as I got the opportunity to create my own minus one. I can choose my own word to create the minus one. Next I also enjoyed combining two songs and it was fun hearing the song I combined. I was experimenting it many times and because I love listening the song that was combined using two songs.

Besides module, I was also working on another task on creating three lesson plans with 30 minutes duration and another 1 lesson plan with 1 hour duration. We have chosen to carry out a lesson for year 4 and the topic is on food. Creating lesson plans were not a big deal for us as we are use to it and in fact it is a good practise for us. Besides lesson plan, we also need to choose a topic from each year (1-6) and create technology as well as non-technology teaching aids for each year.

I did teaching aids for year 1 and 2. The topic I have chosen is on animals and family members. The technology teaching aids I have created are video clip, slide show presentation and also song. Where else for non-technology are puppets, picture cards and also clip arts. We tried to create as creative as possible using colourful pictures as we know that pupils love colourful teaching aids.
