Last Journal: Reflective Essay 😁

Assalamuaikum and good morning peeps 😊. Happy Sunday everyone and always cheer up. This morning I would like to post my last entry for this semester. I want to speak up my opinions or anything for 13 weeks I studied this subject: Internet Technology For Language  Learning.

Frankly,  I am not a fan of computer technology 😁. When I was registered for this subject last semester I felt helpless for this subject. I have no interest for this subject. For me language student like me do not need to learn any computers business like this. For me computer and technology only for Computer Science students. There is not significant for me to learn this subject (sorry Madam 🙏😂). I showed no interest on it.

When I entered the ICT class for the first time,  I told myself I cannot do that as I did not like this subject. But as it compulsory for me to take this subject,  I just followed the flow. I forced myself to keep on focused and try to accept it little by little. I was hard for me to adapt with it. But I tried been positive and surprisingly I could accept this subject. Even though it took times, I felt grateful for now.

Actually learning about computers and everything regarding to it is quite fun. I felt so thankful for having this subject for this semester. Now after 13 weeks I could see clearly the significant of this subject. Because of this subject now I know a bit about computer tools and programme software,  some history and so on.  I also be able to create a video using Pawtoon, create my own game and many more. Before this I never know the existence of these two software, Powtoon and Smart Builder. I am sure I will never know both of these softwares if I did not learnt this subject. Now I could use it in the future. And also I can improve my skills in computering 😂.


To Madam Azida thank you for your help and guidance 😊. You are the sweetest lecturer ever. Thank you for teaching me this subject and sorry for not performing well in your subject. And sorry also for not liking this subject but I swear now I'm in love with especially doing Smart Builder hehehe 😅. Hopefully I could use all knowledge you gave to me and sorry if I did wrong to you. Thank you for everything Madam Azida 😘💕

Journal 10: Creating Courseware using Smart Builder

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone 😊. So how was your day?  I hope everyone enjoy their weekends. Tonight I will keep on updating my blog to share my experience. But for this entry I am going to talk about my second assignment which is Courseware. Anyone know what Courseware really is? I believed some of you might know,  some of you might not know it or never heard before,  right? It's okay, let me tell you what is Courseware actually. Courseware is a computer program or other material designed for use in an educational or training course. For example:game.

Before I started to share with you how I managed to complete my second assignment, let me tell you all the requirements:

1. It is a group work (like educational video)

2. All students required to create their own courseware and need to choose one target learners before start creating the courseware. You can choose your own topic.

3. You can use any application or software (suggested to use Smart Builder).

4. Upload your courseware in this blog http://intechelt2.blogspot.my/?m=1

5. You must have written report regarding your courseware and submit it after you have upload your courseware online.

6. You are given few weeks to finish it.

These are the requirements and now let's get started.

Since this is a group work,  I sticked with my previous groupmates, Afiqah and Amni. Like previous assignment, before start doing anything,  a discussion among group members is a must! So we discussed about what topic we going to use for this assignment and who is our target learners. We cannot simply create a courseware without knowing anything about our target learners. After few discussions we decided to choose a topic entitle "Pet's World" and our target learners are Year 2 students.

This is our overview for our courseware 

After have all informations we stared creating our courseware. As been suggested by Madam Azida,  we used Smart Builder application to create it. Here's the link to go Smart Builder

Like Pawtoon, this is much more harder. This time we need to create a game!  Our own game! Like seriously? We also did not believed it when Madam Azida assigned us to create a game. We are in a big trouble this time. We are language students and we need to create a game!  That is so impossible to do! But we have no choice. But luckily Madam Azida helped and guided us through out the time on creating this game.

When I think back my first response when I was assigned with this task,  it made my laugh burst out. I was freaking shocked at that time and I cannot accept it. It took few days for me to calm down and start doing this task. Alhamdulilah everything went well and create a game is simple. I am not going to show off or anything but seriously it was easy (when I knew everything). I became addicted to work more on it and I felt something wrong if I would not be able to finish it. As for beginners like us,  it took about 2 weeks for three of us to finish creating our game. Maybe later when I master it, I could finish it in a week. Who knows right?  Seriously you should try create your own game because you will feel satisfy when you publish it online and people keep on playing it. Before I wrap everything, I just want say do not be like me!  Giving up before trying! You should try it first before give up. Once you tried it then you will know your level. So go to this application and create your own game. Do not underestimate yourself!  Be confident and be happy 😍💪

Journal 9: Educational Video using Pawtoon 🎥🎬

Hi and we meet again hehehe 😁. As been mentioned in previous post, I was assigned with two assignments right?  Educational video and courseware. So for this entry I will share with you guys my experience created the educational video from beginning till it's end.

Before I start let me tell you the assignment requirements:

1. This is group assignment.
-Each of group need to have at least three or four members.

2. Every groups are required to create our own education video and publish it in this blog http://intechelt2.blogspot.my/?m=1

3. The duration for the video is not least than a minute and we are free to choose our own topic.

4. The submission date: 2 weeks after received assignment.

Now let's get started.  First thing first, I need to have a group. My group had 3 members only included me. My group members were Afiqah Syazwani and Amni Umairah. After that,  we discussed what topic we wanted to use before creating our video. As we have freedom to choose our own topic,  we decided to use topic that related to three of us. We loved to hike so we decided to use that topic. After narrow down it bit more,  we came out with the title for our video which was "Steps on Hiking for Beginners".

To be honest both my groupmates and I have no idea how to create this educational video.  Even though Madam Azida did guided all of us using Pawtoon,  yet we still did not know how to do it. All this time we only use Power Point for any presentation and use Movie Maker to create any videos. But this time we need to use Pawtoon. We did heard about this software before but we never used it. But since this assignment required us to use it, then had no choice.

After we gathered all the informations about our topic,  we started to use Pawtoon. It was hard for three of us because we knew nothing about it. Slowly we tried to explore it,  and it was not easy like using Power Point. We need to try and error to make sure we able to finish this task.

Day-by-day we managed to use it much more better. We already knew a little bit how to put images and texts,  how to do actions and motions,  how to put audios and musics and etc. We felt very excited to explore more. And Alhamdulilah we could see our progress on this video went smooth. And we managed to finish it by time.

From this experience, I could say it was fun. Even though it was hard at first,  but at the end you will find it more exciting than you expected. Because of this assignment I am be able to explore more and gain more knowledge. Pawtoon is much more interesting from Power Point by the way. In there,  you could create anything you want based on your sketch and ideas. So, I do recommended you guys to use this Powtoon software because it really exciting. I will make sure you would not regret once you try it. Don't miss and try it now. Good luck peeps 😍
