What I feel about blogging?

This is the first time for me to have my own blog. I knew about before but I had no interest to do it. Luckily, blogging has become a compulsory for everyone in this course. If not, I would not see the benefits of blogging. Here are my answers to the questions posted by Pn. Foziah

1. What I like about blogging.

Blogging give me the opportunity to share my experiences and express my opinions and ideas. It is like an online diary!!

2. What I do not like about blogging.

Errmm...nothing

3. What have I gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.How?

Blogging really works in practicing your language. I think, I've improved a lot writing skill. Writing in the blog is like exercises given by the teacher when I was small. In addition, it also improve my technology skills. Honestly, I'm not a techno-sawy person. By reading other people's blogs, i get to know more and more about technology.

4. What I like about the course

This course has taught me on how to search and develop resources that are suitable to be used in the classroom. Photo editing, audio editing, video editing, internet skills, and e-book are the things that I had learnt. Actually, I already knew a little about these things and this course give me more!

5. What I do not like about the course

I only not satisfied with the time given to finish the tasks.

6. What I have learnt from the course

How to become a resourceful teacher

7. What I do not expect but have learnt from the course

Blogging!!haha..nice experience.

8. What I expect but have not learnt from the course.

I'm not only expect to learn how to develop resources that are technologically produced but also on how to develop resources by using non-technologically method.

9. If they can change anything about the course, state what it is and explain.

Errmm..nothing

Towards T.H.E E.N.D

The end of semester is just around the corner. It means, we come closer and closer to examination!! Uwwwaaa...
Since there is no official exam for this course, we have to sit for a test. The test was held at computer lab on last Tuesday. Frankly speaking, I just read the notes posted in ADeC since nobody knows what will be asked in the test. Thank to God since the topic that I've read had come out in the test (1st questions). But, it is unfortunate for me that I could not answer the questions well. Huhu..so sad!! Actually, I am used to type by using computer. So, when it comes to write by hand, i felt it really tough. My handwriting is so bad! Hopefully my lecturer can read it.

Children's software...

Just a day after getting married, I was rushed going back to KL. It was because the Assignment 3 was due on the next day.There is a sign of relief in me after handed in the assignment. I felt really happy as there is no more assignment to be done.haha..My friends told me that they can help me to submit the assignment so that I can take a few days off. But I chose to hand in by myself. It was not because I didn't believe on them, but for me, it is my responsibility. I should not burden my friends to do the job for me. In addition, I believe that getting married is not an excuse to do the works.Am I right?
Right after we handed in the assignment, Pn Foziah started the lecture. Mmm..It not a lecture actually!!haha..Actually, she had introduced us with another type of resources that can be used in classroom which is children's software. We are given the opportunity to try the software and evaluate it. For me, the softwares are very interesting and engaging. They are very useful to be used in the classroom as they can develop students' thinking skill. This is because while doing the activities, they need to think to answer the questions.
The software can be found in the form of DVD or VCD and CD-Rom. There are lots of bookstores that sell the software. Moreover, the software also can be searched online. These are some links:

Develop skills in planning the lessons

Assignment 3 task really challenged me..with my big day is just around the corner, my mind cannot work efficiently. Too much things to think! huhu...Luckily I was managed to finish my work one day before I left to my hometown. Thank God!! I do not have to worry anymore.
I've done 4 lesson plans of 4 skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) on the topic 'Family First'. It is the topic in Year 5 textbook.

Being so manipulative..

Don't be misunderstood with the title yeah!!hehe..being manipulative here means that as a teacher, we should have skills in manipulating resources to be used as teaching aids in the classroom. Doing the second assignment give me an opportunity to develop skills in manipulating video as I learnt how to extract the audio / song and pictures from the video entitle 'Micheal Jackson - Earth Song' that I had downloaded from the Youtube.
At first, I had a difficulty in extracting the audio. I had downloaded many programmes but only half of the audio could be extracted since I used free trial version. Luckily my partner told me that we can use AoA Audio Extractor to extract the audio.At last, I can extract the whole audio. It works!!
From the audio and pictures that I had taken from the video, I developed several new materials such as PowerPoint slideshows, tasksheet and gif animations. I really enjoyed doing the gif animations which I had created it in gickr.com. The steps are simple and easy to follow. I just have to upload the pictures and chose the size and speed of the animations. Then, the website will do all the job. Once it is finished, I just downloaded the animations to my computer. So easy right?haha...

You can also try by your own..
