E-BOOK???

SALAM & A VERY GOOD DAY...

Last week, for this course, we have assigned to create an E-BOOK. Madam has shown us some examples of E-BOOK made by her previous students. I found it was quite an interesting knowledge to be learned as future teachers because we can apply it in the classroom. Now I know what is E-BOOK all about and how to create it.

I have shown to her a few stories for the draft. Even though they were being rejected, I want to say thank you to Madam as she made me felt want to work hard to create a better story for children so that they will learn from my E-BOOK. Thank you, Madam.

In short, I would like to say that through E-BOOK, the teaching and learning process in classroom will be more interesting as the students will not only learn through traditional method, but also through technology. Indirectly, the used of E-BOOK will help the teacher to integrate IT skills among the children.

Photo Editing Using Photoshop...

Look at this picture.. Can you guess what is the siftware that I used??

Photoshop?? That's right!! Before I learned this software, I have heard about it, but I did not know how to use it.. Huhu.. Since last week Mdm Foziah taught us about photoshop, I was so excited to try out in editing pictures. I was so lucky to enter this course as I could learn and explore about photoshop.. During that class, we were given some tutorial guidance from a link given by Mdm Foziah. For me, that guidance was very helpful in helping me to explore and know how to use Adobe Photoshop. This was because, I could follow the step by step mentioned in the tutorial guidance. I was so happy as by the end of the class, I could edit my photo by my own!! Haha.. Now I know how to edit picture. From this learning, I could say that a single picture can be 'transformed' into a very nice picture where we can add text, change colour, make it look like a sketch and so many things we can do through Adobe photoshop. However, software without skills is no use.. So, I realized that ICT skills is very important in exploring the technology nowadays so that we will become a techno-savvy person.. And now I know how people make variety of beautiful pictures.

Next reflection from me...

Now it's already the fifth week of sem 1 2009/2010.. For the previous week, my class for this course had faced a problem where the internet server turned down. Since this course had to do a lot with internet, so we could not do much due to the problem occurred. However, our lecturer was so smart enough as she had a back up plan. She asked us to read subtopic according to the group and prepare the powerpoint presentation. I would to thank her as she advised us to have any back up in every planning so that we still can proceed with any activity even though we face any unexpected problem. So, I learned that a back up plan is very important to run a smooth activity.

For the task, my group had been assigned to work on three subtopics which were :
2.3 The significance of the way we chech understanding.
3.6 Reusing the core of ideas.
Activity 4 Listen and arrange.

Through all the subtopics which had been divided, my group members and I discussed together to find important points to be written into the powerpoint. From this group work, I found that it brought lots of advantages where we could share ideas, collect information, ask questions and so on. So, in my opinion, group work is very good activities in varying the learning styles in class as the students also can learn how to cooperate with other people in the group and make a better relationship.

That's all from me. Until this fourth week, I realized that every week I will learn something new from this course. Thank you, Ma'am..

::A Thought For today::
The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something. The strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock. The hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.
-Thomas Carlyle, essayist and historian (1795-1881)
