lion King!Children should be exposed to it to improve english language!

A New Item in My dictionary!

PHOTO EDITING is all about it. Yup, in this weeks class, we learned on how to develop a picture-editing, omiting, adding and even modifying.What you want more? It was really amazing for me when i went exploring it in depth. I explored soft wares such as adobe photoshop and magic photo editor! The tutorials of those soft wares gave great hand for me to acquire the skills in photo editing.And now, my job is to create and edit an original photo to a different perspective. IT is fun! But i must admit that i faced some problems in handling the soft ware. It seems to be difficult for me. Since im in the process of reading the tutorials,i am able to open up my curiousity door. Yet, it is not enough and unclear.Furthermore, I have some eye cathcing clips in my collection and some ideas are flying around me on what theme to be chosen. So, hopefully, those plans will be successful and i can manage to break the barriers in photo editing and excel in it.
Good luck for all of you out there too.

OPENING THE DOORS OF RESOURCES

Our effort on the group assignment is progressing since all five of us have discussed well and decided on which topic and curriculum specification to be selected. We planned to choose the topic- Inventions. We are still on the process of finding for clips, pictures and soft wares to make our project a good one. We often update each other so that all of us will be safe and are on the right track. This is the benefit of group working. On my way in finding materials in net, I was astonished meeting and learning many new things in it. It seems to be an amazing race for me. I kept discovering new ideas whenever I explore an item. That was my reason for quoting ‘opening the doors of resources.’ Now my knowledge on technology and resources is improving. I am happy for that, but since there is no limit for gaining knowledge, I am seeking forward to learn and get to know more and more from this course. Thanks for Mdm Foziah for giving such precise lectures and explanation. Good luck everybody! Enjoy the project!

How to draw animals? Specially For Teachers to prepare Teaching Resources

First step into resource world



The journey into the world of resource begins with a good start. As I know, the course is basically on how to create, explore and manipulate resources for the teaching and learning process through the usage of technology functions. Technology holds a big role here since everyone is aware of its beauty. I extremely feel that, technology will reduce the workload and stress of all profession. But let’s zoom into teachers. Previously in ancient time and even in the past 5 year’s time, there were very less facilities related to technology. Teachers may have to create their own material for their everyday lessons which contributed a lot of obstacles and it was time consuming. But in this era, there are millions and billions of teaching resources flooded in the internet. See how advance today’s world is. With a click of button, we will be filled with tremendous teaching and visual aids, clips and videos. So, this course definitely going to give me a lot of knowledge and ideas on how to approach my students in future. What I should do is just to select the resources according to students’ level of ability and work on it. But, I also have a confident that, these exploration will tend to boost my thinking and encourage me to come out with more creative and efficient ideas for the sake of my students. Obviously, I am going to gain many experiences throughout the stroll into technology. I am expecting a lot from you my ‘RESOURCE WORLD’. Hopefully things will go fine and I’ll learn more and more for the benefit of myself as well as my future students. So, let’s join this extreme journey with me, let’s all of us step into this wide world and break the mysteries and secrets in it.

Ingredients in RESOURCE 3102

The ingredients in resource 3102 are exceedingly very useful and meaningful for me as a future teacher, since the major element of teaching and learning is to attach relevant and appropriate resources. The first two classes were quite challenging for me as I don’t really understand the jargons of technology. Words like flickr, keepvid, pdf, utube and so forth. I wondered what they were. Since I’m a beginner, it should be fine. When time goes, of course I’ll be familiar with the procedures and root of this course. Basically, to my understanding, we will be learning on how to get through videos, pictures, movie making, saving files and editing which seems to be very new for me. This will help me to prepare and create my own aids and materials for students.
Seriously, before I attended this class, I don’t exactly know what BLOG is all about. But, I really got shocked when getting to know the functions and purposes of using blog. I feel that it is a tool for communication between teacher, classmates and even others. We can comment, give ideas and even provide suggestions for them in any field. It’s interesting rite? Every week we are to upload and revise our blog by sharing our knowledge and experience in the course. It is a way to express our intentions and expectations towards the course. This idea of creating blog enhances my knowledge since I have the opportunities to explore on videos, clips and other relevant materials to keep my blog updated. Through my walk into these findings, there are high possibilities for me to discover new items in technology. It will be valuable for me in my future upcoming. Hope I will explore more and be an expert of technology gadgets soon.
