Week 6~E-book for children…

This week we were learning on how to produce e-book. But, for this time we were using power point to produce our own e-book. Now, talking about my own e-book, I decided to choose a story within a theme of friendship. You must be wondering why friendship? And why not others? It is because in my life I value friends as so precious. For me, to be friends and to have friends is a wonderful thing that ever happens to me. So that is why the theme “Friendship” is chosen. My e-book is about a little boy who makes friends with the sea animals and the story also portrays how the bonding of friendship between the little boy and the sea animals can save him from danger. I hope children will love the story. For me as a future teacher, producing an e-book like this will definitely make the process of teaching and learning become more interesting. This is because it is colourful, attractive and also has some moral values for the children to learn. Thus, it will make the lesson more meaningful and I believe that the lesson will be more effective and efficient.

week 5~crazy about PHOTO editing

One more thing discovered! Photo editing using fxphoto and Adobe photoshop. For me this technologies introduced was new to me. So, I it will consume much time for me to explore and try out the technology. But this is actually cool and interesting.. we can do a lot of photo editing, include effect, text and so on..I had also looking at our seniors piece of work. It was so amazing and great as they are able to combine pictures and make it looks so stunning with some effects added on. I hope to reach at that level soon! I am so excited to explore more about the photoshop and the fxphoto.Not only that, we were also being introduced with photobucket which I can say that it is some sort of album where we can include our collection of photos there. For me this class become so,so and so interesting week by week. To reflect as a future teacher, I should equip myself with the latest technology like this (fxphoto and photoshop) as to ensure I will not be left behind as my future students will be ten times better than me in technology. So, to meet the demand of this kind of student, I have to ensure that my knowledge in technology will be upgraded time to time. Now I have already found a place where I can enhance my knowledge of technology. It is here in RESOURCES class.Thank you ma'am for giving us the opportunity to get to know such technology:) I have also included the picture before and after it was being edited. I know it is not so obvious as I just changed the effect. But, I am ready to give myself another try.. Wish me LUCK!

week 4~No internet connection!

Sigh.....no internet connection for this week! So, we cannot do anything related to the used of internet..at the end, we were asked us to do some discussion on topic 2,3 and 4. But don't worry I still learn something towards the end of the class. I actually learn a lot from each topic. A lot of teaching materials and teaching activities discovered for each topic. It was so interesting! now i know where to refer to get the idea for my teaching experience next time. it's worth it! SMALL book with a HUGE knowledge inside:) let see what is the new activity found in the book.
One of it is....how to reuse your activity for to teach different skills. This is what I"m looking for..as a teacher we have to be SMART enough to reuse your materials to be adapted with your lesson. So, you don't have to prepare a new teaching aids each time you want to teach your lesson. Hurm...what a useful knowledge. Then another new activity discovered for teaching and learning in the classroom..which i think quite creative called "THE WASHING LINE GAME". This is a lively game in which the children are divided into two teams and required to line up in front of the classroom(like a washing line). Then the teacher will ask each representatives from each team to take one colour of clothes from one of the boxes provided. the first to take the correct colur of clothes will be the winner of the game.Sound interesting! I might consider this activity to be used in my lesson in the future. I believe the children will love it a lot. thank you Maam for the GREAT book:)
