Powtoon Hello everyone! This week, we pretty much use the time we had in our class to explore and play around with Powtoon in order to finish our video assignment. Let me tell you one thing, it's easy to use Powtoon if and only if...you follow a certain rule and make sure you have a good internet connection. If you don't, it's going to be terribly difficult to finish up the video that you are going to make. Let's talk about the rules of using Powtoon. Based on my experience along these 2 weeks, the first rule that you want to follow is to make sure that you have the story of you upcoming video drafted and most importantly; your voice, to be recorded. If you make the amateur mistake of making the video using the Powtoon first, you'll face the risk that some of classmates faced - you might have to redo the video afterwards ( trust me, you don't wanna spend another several hours of your time re-editing the video again and again!) After you have yo...

Heyya everyone~~ This week, I learnt about Powtoon. From what I have learnt, I could say that Powtoon is more or less a sophisticated and mix up version of PowerPoint and Movie-Maker. In other word, you can turn your slides onto a video and walla, you can  directly post it onto YouTube and any other social media account that you have .  That way, everyone can share the knowledge that you taught in your video.

My friends ( Balqis, Aisyah, Along) and I decided that we are going to share about what we know on the subject : writing and personality. We have always been interested about the power of knowing one's personality. True enough, there are several scientist who actually have found out that our writing and the way we write could reflect who we are as a person. Now, knowing who we are as a person could have a powerful impact in a person's life an...

Hello everyone! In today's entry, I am going to talk about my reflection on what I have learnt about Podcast and Digital Storytelling in Language Learning.  To be honest, I knew a bit about Podcast before the lesson; but, I wasn't one of those people who actually use Podcast in a daily basis. The lesson help me understand that Podcast actually revolves around audio or video which can be played and downloaded through internet connection. So, you know - you can directly search for any Podcast that you want to listen to, downloaded it and have it played whenever and wherever you want.  Podcast is not limited to merely music but in fact, it offers a whole dimension of world and topics from story telling to tutorial to lessons or talks - my lecturer for instance loves to listen to historical review Podcast  on Victorian era! (he teaches literature, so it kinda make sense). The content in Podcast makes it possible for us - English Language Students - to ...
