18th December 2015 was the last class of the first semester. That day we learned the last syllabus which is Microsoft Excel. With Excel, calculation will be more easier and it is time saving where Excel will do the rest of things after we insert some data. The usage of the Excel is very helpful for the teachers to get the data analysis for the students' marks, help to manage the expenditure and it is very helpful for each person to have statement for the early and at the end of the month. In my opinion teachers should be equipped with the skill of using Microsoft Excel and government should look forward to held workshop because not all teachers are capable of using Microsoft Excel. Previously, as a teacher, they need more work in calculating one by one student's mark and I remembered one particular time where my teacher ask me to help her in calculating my classmates' mark for the test.In addition, community should also master the skills of using Microsoft Excel so they will have better plan to manage their daily and monthly expenditure. After that this will result to the stable economy of the country because people might buy local product which is much more reasonable compared to all import things in order to manage their expenditure.In short, everyone should be able to use Microsoft Excel and gain a lot of benefit from it.
On 4 December 2015, the class went on only for one hour. The first thing that we have done on that day was to check on the progress of the storyboard. Dr Fariza approached from one group to one group to give us more ideas for the betterment of the video. The approach used by Dr Fariza is very great because by communicating in this way students who are introvert manage to interact comfortably with the lecturer. Second, Dr Fariza also taught us on how to make our video to be more fascinating and the trick is by inserting the element of suspense. For example, let the viewers puzzled themselves on what our video is all about because that will make them want to know more about the video. In my view,this is very essential in term of making movie because when everything is being very straight forward the viewer would feel bored and they can already expect what will be next. Third, Dr farieza explained to us about the free movie editor which consist of Wevideo, Moviemaker, and Filmora. Dr fariza said there are a lot of other free movie editor available and she asked us to discover on our own because she didn't want to spoon-fed us with all the things. It reminds me to this quote "The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see". This is very an inspirational quote to me and it is really meaningful for us as the future educators. I think those are all activities that we had done on that day before Dr Fariza let us free to discuss about the progress of the video. Thank You.
27th November 2015, the first thing that we had talked on that day was about our dreaming vacation Everyone was needed to present their dreaming place for the vacation. This is one the best activities where it can train students to be brave to talk in front of the people and improve their communication skills. We also got to know the characteristic and a bit information about the other places which consists of Japan, Korea, London and etc. As for my dreaming place of vacation i have chosen Peru as the destination. This is because my main intention is to see the cute little creature called llama or also known as alpaca. I have a lot of places that i wanted to visit too. I went to Dubai once when I was in Form 5 (2013) however, I wish I will get another chance to visit it once again because there are a lot of fascinating places at there that has grown along with the development of the world. Back to business, Dr Fariza also asked us to respond on Weebly Forum about what is multimedia? Multi brings the meaning of more than one so, multimedia means more than one media.There are a few elements of multimedia are audio, text, animation, video and graphic. By knowing all of these elements it can help the students to come up with a great combination of multimedia. Next, Dr Fariza briefly exposed us with the difference of jpeg, bmp, png and gif which can help us to change the format of the file. Last but not least, we were given the 7th assignment which is tke the video based on our topic for the previous presentation. In my opinion this assignment can help students to sharpen their talent in editing videos consist of few compilation of element of multimedia.In future, students who has this ability perhaps can use their knowledge to create more creative and good videos. Thank you :)
after having a week of mid-semester break, we had our first class on 20th November 2015. the class started at 10 and ended by 12 because Dr Fariza had to settle her work at UPM before the class. We have done a few things in the class which first, Dr Fariza checked our progress on the survey that we have conducted. She stressed again the contents of the report which are very important. She also showed her previous assignment. It is an early exposure for us in order to continue our study to the higher level such as Master or PhD. Second, she gave the new assignment from Microsoft Publisher which needed us to create a brochure about our dreaming place for vacation instead of stick with the only topics related to computer in education. I really love this topic and the way that Dr Fariza teach. What I mean here is she is not only a good teacher but she is also an expert teacher who knows how to attract student attention in learning by promoting various exciting topic to us. A bit about Microsoft Publisher it is the medium where we can create many things such as pamphlets, invitation cards or business cards. Nowadays everything is just on our finger tips where we can do everything by our own. Third, she posted in e-forum about our dreaming vacation place and asked us to respond. We shared a few pictures too. This is a good activity when your friends sharing various places that they wanted to go we also get the opportunities to know a bit about the places. As for me, I wanted to go to Machu Picchu,Peru to see the one cutie called Llama. teheeee. Before we end our class, Dr Fariza also talked about the youtube stream which provides our own channel if we want to upload videos on Youtube. I m here to say that I already have one :) hihi.. Thank you, that is all from me today.
4th November 2015, Wednesday. We had a class at Lab 2 near Dewan Budiman. the lecture today took time from 9-12 .There are a lot of things that we had learnt today and I really enjoy receiving those information from Dr Fariza. First, we were taught on how to make report on our findings. Let me tell again, my group mates consist of Alia Aifa Bt Norharmi, Nur Izza Hazwani Bt Rohizad and I ( Izyan Safira bt Ibrahim. We had chosen 21st century skills as our topic for this assignment. Dr Fariza taught a very detailed process in order to make report for our findings.The report should be included introduction, literature view,research objectives,methodology, sample,data collection,data analysis,findings, discussion and conclusion, references and appendices. Each components would need us to be very transparent on what we have done. A little bit about our research, we managed to get 40 respondents who had answered our online survey questionnaires. Apart from that, Dr Fariza had shown us a few fascinating features from Microsoft Word such as, how to make table of contents, Navigation page,page break,page number and also how to use features. All of these features would help us in term of time consuming. I can tell that most of people including me only know the usage of Microsoft Word as a medium for editing text. If we explore it, we would be able to know more fascinating features that Bill Gate has included. Thank You.
On 30th October 2015 we had a discussion on the structure of survey questions. Dr Fariza had checked our survey questions from Google Form. My group created 20 questions based on our topic that we presented in previous class which is 21st century skills. First thing that we have to correct is in term of the answer choices, where it supposed to be in a form that can easily be analyzed. Second, we should have a leading question as the introduction to the topic. For instance you may ask a question regarding the understanding of the respondents about your topic accordingly. Third, do not make your question too general, because earlier before you construct your survey question you must have a research question which direct to what you want to know from your respondents. Fourth, your survey questions should contain description of a few terms that might not be familiar to the respondents and you can also give some examples to give your respondents a brief explanation regarding the topic you have chosen. All the criteria taught by Dr Fariza in constructing the survey questions can be help us to make a very good questionnaire and next could help us to improve our skills in ideas contribution. I think that's all i could tell from today's lesson. Thank you
On 23rd of October 2015 we had a class at usual. On that day, Dr Fariza had presented about Open Source Software. The term "open source" refers to something that can be modified and shared because its design is publicly accessible.Open source software is software whose source code is available for modification or enhancement by anyone.Because open source code can be accessed in public way , students may also try to make better software by studying what others have posted or written. Students can share their results of work among their peers too. besides, the others would be able to put comment and critique. This would enhance the collaboration among the students themselves. In addition, open source does not mean something with free of charge because Programmers can charge money for the open source software they create or to which they contribute. From this aspect, students would be able to know that they can actually make profit from the software that they created. But it is preferable whether you want to make it free or charged. looking from the other aspect of life "the open source way" means a willingness to share with other people, cooperating with others in ways that are transparent, embracing failure as a means of improving, and expecting—even encouraging—everyone else to do the same. These are some of value moral values that can be seen from the "open source way" and we can implement it in our daily life. At the end part of class, Dr Fariza asked us to make unless 20 survey questions in Google Form. This is another medium that you can create questionnaire instead of Survey Monkey that some of us might be used to. By doing this survey it encourage us to practice higher order thinking skills because it needed us to think from various aspect according to the topic that we have chosen. That is all from the class of today thank you
On 15th October, each group had presented their chosen topic during the evening class.My group consists of Izza Hazwani, Alia Aifa and I were lucky to be the first group to present our topic which is 21st century skills. The learning outcomes from the class today are we get to know more information on the topics presented by other groups such as; ICT, Thinking Skills and ICT, Original and Licensing Software, Open Source Software, Web 2.0 in Education and e-learning and mobile learning. Furthermore, all the things that have been presented today are all beneficial for us the future teaches to equip ourselves with the knowledge regarding sophisticated technology of today. In addition, it also enhance our communication and collaboration skills as we have to cooperate among the team mates and we have to present in front of the class which involve the interactions between the audience and the presenter. At the end of the class, we were asked by Dr Fariza to check whether our slides fulfill the requirement of CASPER or not. This is very important as each concept by CASPER may help presenter to get good slides for their presentation and next we were assigned to prepare 10 questions according to our topic. Some questions might be chosen to be in the final exam questions. This is also good because the students will be able to come up with the questions with different difficulties which required them to have a critical thinking. That is all for today and Thank you :)
On 9th October 2015, Dr Fariza assigned each group with different topics and my group consists of Iza, Aifa and I got a topic of 21st century skills. We were asked to prepare the slides regarding the topic. But were are not using the Microsoft Power Point. yes no longer. Now we have learned another feature in Google which is Google Slides. It is much more convenient because you can create a new presentation and edit with others at the same time. the interesting part about the Google Slides is the auto-save part. you do not have to worry even your internet to offline because it will auto-sync whenever you are back connected to the .Next, using the google drive you can prepare with a very simple slides. To me the simple slides are more interesting to be seen compared to the wordy slides because it takes two things to be listened and read at the same time.As a future teacher, we could share this with our students soon because this is one of the way we can make them integrated with the use of technology in ICT.
On 25th of September 2015 we had our very first class with Dr Fariza. Dr Fariza assigned the first assignment for our class T1 to have a google mail using our real name instead of having "glamour name" for the email address. Next, we were asked to create our signature consists of ; full name; programme; Faculty address; and phone's number. This is very important to ensure your official email and by having some information in your signature,the people who accept your email will know who you are and this can help to prevent from the fake account that might have certain intention. Everyone who has email account should have the official one because this can help you in academically.For example ; if a student wanted to hand the assignment through email, the lecturers would be able to recognise which student is and prohibit them from marking the wrong people.
After creating the email, our next task is to create a Dropbox account. Dropbox is a personal cloud storage service where it is widely used to backup any file. It is a secure action if you have a backup which may help you in case u lose any of the files |
