Reflection Week 10:3 in 1-"Hari Raya Mood,Presentations,Video Making Process

Hari raya is just around the corner and the mood of this lovely festival has engulfed the class for this week...There was a glow in each and everyone's face ..haha..The spirit of Raya and "balik kampung" mood was felt by everyone including me though i am not a Muslim...I was already making a list to which Malay friends' house should i visit..:D Well, you know..its the 1Malaysia thingy right?:D

Okay, now moving on to the lesson for the day..Well, there were 5 presentations on the topic "Technology Professional Development" by 5 wonderful groups.Personally i felt, all groups did a great job in their presentations, the presentations were clear and straight to the point highlighting on the main topic of technology vividly.In fact,the topic itself was indeed useful and practical for today's current world situation which is evolving drastically towards the era of technology(Thanks to Mdm Foziah for highlighting on this topic).Thus, to summarize from the groups' presentation, i deem that as the future 21st century teacher in which i will be handling kids from the digital era, I should equip myself with the knowldege and skills of technology whereby I can be a facilitator who demonstrates the vision of technology infusion in my future teaching & learning processes, utilizes and exhibits fluency in digital tools and constantly engages my pupils in technology based collaboration and communaction which enhances the teaching and learner process.Well, those are my views and understanding from the presentations and i bet it will come true someday.

Oh ya, apart from the presentations, Mdm Foziah also showed us a video clip that was rather short and simple yet the message conveyed were depicted clearly and struck our heart almost instantaneously.Therefore, i realized that the most significant element in a video is actually the message that is to be conveyed.It is very vital and that's the whole point of to make a video.Don't think so?By the way, below is a video that had impressed me a lot and i think most Malaysians too.It is one of my all time favourite video that will be deeply remembered in my heart.Although it is short yet, the video is very realistic and most importantly whoever watching this video tiled "Kisah Percintaan Tan Hong Ming" will definitely grasp the message that is being conveyed."Malaysian should all live in unity and harmony and race is not a barrier".(Believe me, you can watch it many times, and you won't feel bored at all!The expressions are simply awesome and superb!hehe...)

Well, besides that, Mdm Foziah too looked into our storyboards for the video that we are currently working on.As for the storyboard on our video( Taufiq and I) entitled "One Sound One Malaysia" which mainly higlights on how one rythm-"Negaraku" can bring all the races in Malaysiato live in harmony and peace , i was glad that Mdm Foziah approved and showed us the green light.Yeah!So we are hoping to put our best efforts to come up with a video that quality that clearly convey the intended message to the viewers.Hence, for me today's class was very meaningful and advantageous.

Well, as for Mdm Foziah and all my coursemates, wishing all of u "Selamat Hari Raya" and "Happy Holidays"!Have a great and wonderful celebration!

Reflection-Week 9 : Here comes video editng!Yahooooo!

Fun, refreshing,exciting and enlivening!

As usual today's class was revitalizing and interesting which also turned out to be a real eye opener for me.

As to begin with, Mdm Foziah showed us several videos of her favourite drama series -well, the one with "ella and chun" that were edited by some of her friends using a software called "one true media". So far, i have only known about windows movie maker, power director and photostory, but this time around the exposure to one true media seem to inspire and arouse the creativity and passion within me to try out this software. Upon looking at the quality,accessibility and the remarkable features in this software, i deem that this software is indeed fun and cool to explore which at the same time can create wonders in our video.

Thus, as i was browsing through, i came across with my all time favourite movie called "Jaane tu ya jaane na" video clip which was edited using this software..This movie about true friendship was indeed meaningful and really touched my heart and what more now after looking at this edited video.Personally, i really liked it and the person had done a good job!Kudos to him!

As for this second video, it is still from the same movie and it has really impressed me due to the awesome effects embedded in it .

Well, later after the video presentation, Mdm foziah assigned us to work in pairs (different gender) whereby we are to produce our own video which has a meaningful theme and message to be conveyed to the audience.As i was struggling to find a partner ( boy) , Mdm Foziah helped me to find one..haha..and it was Taufiq!Thank you ma'am, i think you have chosen me a very good working partner.So after squeezing our brains for creative ideas, eventually we came up with a theme called "One sound One Malaysia".We decided to focus on the natioanal anthem whereby we try to instigate that the spirit of patriotism in which this anthem acts as a strong and powerful element that bonds the string of various races into one.Well basically, It is all about the integration and unity of the various races living in Malaysia.

Ultimately , by the end of the class, we managed to consult with Mdm Foziah and she approved our concept.hehe...Deep inside, i was very happy and excited!Yeaah... Well now, we are in the midst of coming up with suitable clips, ideas and bits and pieces to enhance our video.Till then ..we shall meet again in my next blog..see ya!

Reflection -Week8: It's HOUSEKEEPING time!

Wow, today was indeed a great day for me! As i entered the class, somehow I felt very calm, cool and pleased, never did i know why..hehe..maybe it was after all the hard work for the past few days, we were finally we handing in our assignments...

Well, as for today's class, there was nothing much, it was more to housekeeping. Mdm Foziah updated, reminded and kept us informed with all the tasks and assignments that we are required to do. Thanks a lot to Mdm Foziah, luckily she did the housekeeping with us as now i realized that there still other tasks that i have to do which i have long forgotten...or else i would have been doing them in the last moment which is obviously not a good idea.SO,THANK YOU MA'AM..by reminding and constantly keeping us informed with the things to do is definitely a GOOD IDEA and an EFFECTIVE STRATEGY especially for the" forgetful kind of person" like me to cope up with the lessons...hehe...

Besides that, i was also pleased to lend a helping hand to Mdm Foziah in ensuring the assignments were well handed in.It was definitely a good experience as now i realized it is very crucial to organize and strategize the process of handing in each adn every assignments..I am very impressed by the way Mdm Foziah handle things like this.She is indeed a very responsible, diligent and conscientious lecturer and i think i should follow her footsteps in my future teachings later on..hehe..

Well, overall for this week's lesson, i totally had a great time and of course indirectly I learned few things as well.Till then, i am very eager and looking forward for the next class as we will be doing video auditing..Yeaaah..one of my favourites..hehe.
Ok, bye~cheerio~
