FREE PERIOD!!

Hallooooo!!!

 Thankfully, in this week’s class, my lecturer gave us free period for us to work on our personal project – I’ve mentioned about the project in my previous reflection ( Reflection 9 ). Just bits of recaps, we decided to build a smartbuilder courseware under the topic – under the sea. It’s a syllabus for standard 3 students and we thought that we wanted to build a courseware for this group of students; to those who are already exposed and very much used to the language. So, we used the time given to us to re-sketch and polish the storyboard that we already have. Afterwards, like a bunch of good kids, we divided our works respectively- I agreed to be in charge to build the lesson’s activity (let me tell you a lil’ secret, it’s a story telling session – hush!)

It's our lil secret!


The rest of the class, I spent it on experimenting and implementing the knowledge I’ve learnt from my previous class to build the courseware. It’s quiet exciting. I tumbled a bit when I was trying to use hotspot for my project (it didn’t work at first L ) but thankfully, I had my groupmates who’s sitting around me to help out. Apparently, I put the wrong encryption on the program (silly me!) and I just didn’t realize about it. Henceforth, I’ve learnt that I should be more careful on the encryption – if I insert the wrong details or wrong base on the program, it’s not going to work as properly as I want it to be.

I’ve also learnt that when it comes to picture, you can always use software on the net to remove the background and make it transparent instead. I always used the software that madam taught us in the class, so it was pretty good to know that I’ve always used something similar to what my madam used. By the end of the class, I’ve got sets of pictures saved on my google drive to be used for my project.


Stay tuned to see how it looks like later.

 See ya on the next post peeps!

Reflection 11: SmartBuilder – 50% Progress on Personal Project

                                                      Yay! I can do my work!! Hello everyone~~ This week is a free period to do our project again – yeay!  So , I’ve told you in my previous post that I have sets of pictures to be used for my project. Well, this week is about me finding the right tune with my courseware to make sure it works properly. Since we are doing a storytelling (it’s no longer a secret – I know ;) , over the weekend, I had Balqis recording her voice and I had to record mine as well. It was so funny because we had to use different kind of voices to portray different characters that we have in our story. Spoiler alert – Balqis is Sharkie !  Problem was, our voices had different range of voice and we used different devices, so Balqis’ voice turns out to be much softer than mine. Thankfully, we’...

Reflection 3: Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and ESL

Hello again!  So, in this entry, I am going to share with you about what I have learnt on topic Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and ESL. From the lesson, I’ve learnt that CMC is basically a ‘glittering term’ to explain interaction between people via separate computer through network connection. It’s literally a term to explain about what you and I have been doing for as long as we have internet – e-mail, WhatsApp; well, you get the idea. Interestingly, CMC has been adapted and used in education starting 1980’s to 1990’s (I was borne in 1990’s!) – what started as email and forum back then makes it possible for us now to have mediums for genuine communication, even distant learning to help in our own education. And hey, some universities even offered a diploma through 100% online learning.  Features of CMC As I mentioned in previous entry, I’ve learnt to understand that there are two forms of CMC: asynchronous (delayed form of communication lik...

Reflection 12 (13th Post) : Test and Final Touch on Courseware Project

Hey Everyone! It’s the final week!!!!!!!! So, this week is the submission week for our SmartBuilder project. At this point, all that is left do is the final touch of our project. I’ve finish my part and all my groupmates have finished theirs too, so, we just need to standardize, compile, polish and do several trial runs on the software to make sure that it works properly. Before I ramble on the courseware – this week is also the week where we have to sit down for our test. Let me tell you- the test is no joke, especially to one who is positively climbing her way to learn about technology (especially – me!). Thankfully, I did my homework 2 nights before and I studied with my friends. But, I am pretty sure if I hadn’t put in the effort to do my revision, I wouldn’t have been able to answer or ‘goreng’ whatever answer I could for the test.  Now, fingers crossed – I hope I do well on the test! (please God!) As for the courseware – I think we did pretty we...
