Video Editing
The week’s class did not just end with the submission of the tutorials, Ma’am also set us task which was to do power point presentation of the following chapter in the book and mail it to ma’am. That was the first task; the second was for us to do a summary of the research article that ma’am gave us in groups. That was all for the week’s lesson in MK2.
Tutorials.....
As for me of course I am going to use the picture of water lilies that I have edited. I am proud of that piece. I love it a lot. We have to ‘print screen’ the page and explain the steps taken in editing the pictures and audio. It is more like teaching another person how to do what I have done by typing and using pictures of the step through ‘print screen’ button instead of talking.
And the same goes for all the other tutorial; e-book. I used goanimate.com for my e-book, my rationale for using it is because it has more colourful pictures, characters. It is also user friendly. We also have to do a group audio editing. I was the leader of my group which consists of Haziq, Helmi, Fikri, Faizal, and Syafizee. There were altogether 22 songs that we have to edit, so we divided the songs and edited it. That was most of all for the week. Thank you for reading
E-BOOK
After editing photos and playing with FxPhoto the previous week, now we are doing something else. This week it is ‘E-BOOK’, I would not lie and say I do not know what and ‘e-book’ is but I never thought I would be doing one myself. I am a HARRY POTTER craze person. After watching the movies, I wanted so much to actually read the book(s) however I could not afford the books and could not also borrow any from my friends. Hence what I did was; I started saving money to buy the books. In the mist of my disappointment, I saw a shout out in ‘friendster’; a friend of mine who is also a ‘harry potter’ craze invited me to join the ‘Harry Potter’ Fan Club.
It was then, after joining the club that I was mailed the ‘e-books’ of harry potter. I was very happy and read the whole set more than 10 times since then. This is how is got to know about ‘e-book’. So I was expecting something similar to what I had read in the class and begun wondering how young language learners are going to enjoy it. That was my question, nevertheless ma’am answered my question by showing some samples of ‘e-books’ done by some seniors. Only then I realized that ‘e-books’ can be in a few formats.
The class was on what and how we are to do our ‘e-book’ based on the topics found in the KBSR syllabus. Ma’am asked us to personally consult her on our ideas of how we are going to do the ‘e-book’ and what is our focus. She helped me a lot by suggesting ways I can do the ‘e-book’. I, being a bit curious looked up in the net for more information on ‘e-book’ and this is what I found in Wikipedia.
It says that an e-book (short for electronic book, also written eBook or ebook) is an e-text that forms the digital media equivalent of a conventional printed book, sometimes protected with a digital rights management system. E-books are usually read on personal computers or smart phones, or on dedicated hardware devices known as e-book readers or e-book devices. Many mobile phones can also be used to read e-books. Technology had made many things possible in this 21st century.
When I went deeper I found out on more the history of ‘e-book’. I found that early e-books were generally written for specialty areas and a limited audience, it is also meant to be read only by a small and devoted interest groups. The scope of the subject matter of these e-books included technical manuals for hardware, manufacturing techniques, and many other subjects.
Numerous e-book formats emerged and proliferated, some supported by major software companies such as Adobe's PDF format, and others supported by independent and open-source programmers. Multiple readers naturally followed multiple formats, most of them specializing in only one format, and thereby fragmenting the e-book market even more. Due to exclusiveness and limited readerships of e-books, the fractured market of independents and specialty authors lacked consensus regarding a standard for packaging and selling e-books. E-books continued to gain in their own underground markets. Many e-book publishers began distributing books that were in the public domain. At the same time, authors with books that were not accepted by publishers offered their works online so they could be seen by others. Unofficial (and occasionally unauthorized) catalogs of books became available over the web, and sites devoted to e-books began disseminating information about e-books to the public.
That is all for this time round, there will be more so stay tune my friends…..
Fx Photo
This is before editing. How do you like it? I just love it so much. The editing picture symbolizes a very harmonious feelings and purity. Love the Purple colour and the white tooo...... That is all for the time being friends. There are more to come.....
Time Flies
Time flies so fast that I had failed to notice that it’s been almost a month I have been here in this university as an undergrad. Life is very challenging but despite the challenges I had a lot fun and memorable moments that I will never forget in my life. I had the opportunity to get to who are my true friends and who are those who have bee faking; parasites. I really thank GOD the ALMIGHTY for that.
This week’s class was a bit different as there were some problem with the internet connection in the MK2, so she had to resort to the traditional style of learning; the BOOKS!!! But not to say that we never incorporated some technology in the week’s lesson. We went into the groups and discussed for a few topic in the books at one go; we are very efficient and good students =)
We very more advance than the other class we did a few topic for the whole 3hours, we also had a chat with maam, who shared some of her experiences with us.
