self satisfaction

It was a great relieve after completing assignment2 which is the video clip. Mine entitled “animals’ space / why animals are different”. Please check it out ya!....ermmm, actually this is my first time doing this thing, the video clip. Never came across my mind I can do it. Even it is not so good and so creative, but at least it does give self satisfaction that at last I succeeded doing it. At first and when I was doing it, it was so tough for me. Plus the thinking box was not functioning well. As the result, I kept changing my storyline.huhu…later, I had to face the challenging of converting different files which I just explored. Of course not really expert on it. But then, along the way of completing this first masterpiece, the lecturer, Prof Maznah, the facilitators and friends help me a lot. For me, Prof and facilitators were very concern as they kept reminding about the purpose of the video clip which I think is so very important. Whatever we want to do, we should have path right? It should be clear at first step so that we know how we want to proceed. I also had been introduced with new software such as power director which I think was my hero at that time since I really need this kind of software because I found moviemaker does not have many choices. To make it short, even though there were some difficulties in completing this assignment, but it worth when I got a lot of beneficial knowledge and the experience was so priceless.

Practice makes perfect!!!

Smart Board

Salam and hi everybody..
Today is a quite miserable day for all of us, I guess. I am just making my own interpretation as me saw the sleepless face of my friends and everybody looks so exhausted. Actually today we have to hand in our assignment and I think most of us had burn the midnight oil to finish up our work. Duh….this is the students’ life. Even me myself was so sleepy….even though I have to go to the class with this kind of high affective filter, still I manage to fall in love with today’s session. All My friends also looks enjoyed with this course especially during presentation where some of us get the chance to use Smart board. The Smart board course. So cool… effective…applicable…interactive….fun…..encouraging…..Words that can be related to Smart board. I think this course is very useful for the teachers as this software is begin to be used widely nowadays and in the future. This is the tool to help teacher promoting interactive learning. At the same time teachers also can assess their pupils’ understanding by letting the pupils involve during the teaching process. I really hope can use this tool but actually still not have the confident to do so. huhu…. It looks so easy to use it but when we want to use it seems distracted. But, I know the answer is only 1…PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! "Knowledge without practice/application is like tree without fruits" .I hope when time we were given the assignment, I will able to explore the use of Smart Board and able to use it effectively. Not to forget, Thanks to Miss Fanny!

This week, the information I got was really teacher based. Actually, I was impressed that teachers can find so many information and resources via eduweb, tvpendidikan etc. At some point, I felt quite shame because I already 4 years at teacher trainee college but never take effort to check on it. But, better late than never right?hehe.. By the way after Miss Chin explain the way to find information via those web, I already determine and wish could get benefit from it and use them wisely.
At the same time, I am still in progress completing my video clip. Even though at some degree, I face difficulty, I am so grateful that my friends always help me. And now, I really thank iman and azirah as they introduce me ‘Power Director’ as initiative to ‘Windows movie maker’. Power Director relieve me a bit as it help me a lot in editing video, pictures and lastly to produce interesting video clip. Even though I have not explore all yet, but I will, step by step. For me, this course really helps me a lot in knowing all the software and link to improve my skill in IT. From a person who is not really know about IT, I am now learning towards it. Gambate!!!!!
