Au Revoir!

Well, we have to come an end......


I must say that I feel sad because I find this subject is very unique and has helped me a lot in discovering new applications and software. I have truly had an amazing journey and I hope I can apply every lesson that I've learned in future.
I have some personal comments that I would like to share here. Firstly, I wish I could do more in those projects assigned for us but maybe I was lack of creativity. I'm afraid that I didn't contribute enough for my group members and I feel kind of disappointed  with myself but I'm willing to learn more to improvise.

Last but not least, thank you to everyone for the tremendous journey. I hope to see you again in the next semester.


Farewell,

SmartBuilder Progress

Hi there again! Today I would like to show some appreciations to my group mates  for our SmartBuilder project which are Zaidah and Hazirah. They're also my group members for Powtoon.


To start with, honestly they contributed a lot in completing this project. At first we had a thought of doing it at Cyber Cafe but because of our hectic schedule and time clashes, we did on our separate way and decided to compile every part of the project.

As Zaidah was in charge of doing the lessons and introduction, I found that she is more creative than I am. She is a fast learner and always ask our opinions before taking a next step. She used hotspot, button, shapes in the lessons. She even used Canva design to make it look interesting and colorful. I must say she had done a good job.
My other group member is Hazirah, another creative person that helped in completing our project. She was assigned to do the exercises and I'm shook because she did it very well. In my own point of view, she is really good in using colors in the exercise and if I were a primary student I will be very much interested in answering the question. Voila to these bunch!
Last but not least is me and I was assigned to do a drag and drop exercise. I did it on my laptop and to be honest, I've done my part but unfortunately the Smartbuilder version on my laptop is not compatible with them therefore it can't be copied. I was so devastated and I tried again but the result is the same. Only god knows how frustrated I was, I even mengucap a lot of times but nothing could be done and Hazirah came to the rescue. She helped me to complete the exercise with her Mac (of course it worked) and I did the report of our project.

To sum up, it was a memorable experience to have and I wish I could do more to contribute but I must by myself a newer laptop to do so. Thank you Madam Azida for your endless support and guidance throughout the lesson. You are very helpful during the process and I wish you only the best!

Smart Builder and Canva!


Back in previous semester, I used an application called Canva to do a presentation in French subject. It was so awesome and interesting because it has a lot of beautiful designs that could be used not only in presentations but for social networks posts, posters, covers for magazines and more. It is really a helpful application that can help a non-creative student like me to make my presentations and assignment fascinating! Therefore, I have created an informational chart using Canva, check this out!


What is Smart Builder? From my understanding, SmartBuilder is an interactive course ware that enable students to learn without the presence of a teacher. Madam Azida has taught us how to use most of the important components in the software such as button, page, properties, action and hyperlink and shapes. In my opinion, it is a useful software where by users can create an interesting lesson for students and they definitely will be actively participating. Although at first it was so confusing and frustrating because but after many trials and mistakes, I managed to use it well. The feeling is indescribable when I succeed in completing one step to another. It was really fun. 




Podcast!

Hello everyone! I hope you'll have a good day ahead.


I'm sure most of you have heard about Podcast right? We can talk about almost everything such as fashion, general information, people, technology and more. Basically, I'm not the type people who love to record their own voices and post it on social media. Well I can't really accept how my voice sounds like when it's recorded but when I was given a task to do a podcast, I took it as a challenge for me to complete it.

I am not confident to share my personal opinions about certain subjects therefore I chose a topic that would make me feel comfortable which is the story of Hachiko. It is about a dog that was very loyal until the death of his master. I find it funny and hilarious when I had to record my voice for many times because of the noisy background, sudden sneeze and weird stoppage.

One of the advantages of listening to any podcast is it will help to improve your listening skill. From my own experience, I have difficulties to listen carefully unless if I sit in the front row or the speaker's voice is loud enough for me. By listening to podcast especially when it is about education, you will be able to listen to every word and increase your understanding. As for my task, I've complete my own podcast and it's not a perfection but I hope it will encourage me to do more podcasts in future to share my thought and opinions.


Powtoon!


Hello everyone, what's good?
Today, I'm going to talk about Powtoon! First of all, I've never used this application until the day Madam Azida asked us to create an educational video by using Powtoon. I was so excited to create the video and my group and I decided to choose Offspring Animals as the topic for the educational video. Madam Azida helped us a lot in completing the video by giving us guidlines, ideas and she is kind to even suggest her opinions and without her observation, we might lose track.


After we divided our task, we kept trying an error to discover the functions of every button lol. Even though we had our downs but frankly speaking, it was fun! I feel proud of myself that I am capable of doing a video and recorded my own voice to merge in the video as well. After several attempts, we finally did it! I hope our video could help many students to have a better understanding of offspring animals. 

That's all for now, see ya!
