LAST ENTRY FOR PBEY 3102~ BLOGGING~
1. What do you like about blogging?
What I like about blogging is that it is very convenience. I can make it either as a diary or as a report. It would be fun as anyone read my blog and express their thought in it. Maybe they could share their experiences as well.
2. What you do not like about blogging?
When I express my opinion through blogging, people tend to criticize a lot. Most of them are negative. They like to do that because it is easy for them to express it compare to face-to-face interaction. I found this very unprofessional. It is like a bad conference. The problem is that when people do that through blog, some of the messages do not deliver effectively. There is no tone, not clear expression, and so on. This would lead to conflict which I do not like to face. If it is a good conflict which have a solution, then it would be fine. What if there isn’t?
3. What have you gained from blogging e.g. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc. How?
To me, I have developed my critical thinking and reflecting thinking skills. When we try to comment on others, we should do it in professional way. This is how I developed my thinking skills. I must be thorough in giving reflection to other people so that people will not misinterpret my comments. In term of technology skills, there is not much to improve because there is too much task to do than to actually learn it. Although most of the task are easy, but frankly speaking the task are tedious and not well explained about the purpose of each task given to us.
4. What do you like about this course?
There is not much that I like about this course. Only that we are exposed to variety of softwares and ways to find resources from the internet.
5. What you do not like about this course?
What I do not like about this course is the professionalism that was supposed to be shown in this course. We are human being but when it comes to work, tasks, or assignment, everyone has to be professional. We should not involve emotional state, biasness, or criticism in work. However, when it is related to the term “human” we should put the term professional aside. This is to make sure that we will not treat or being treated as a robot. Plus, there are so many confusion in this course that to me, should be made clear from the beginning so that we will not feel burden to complete the task. This course is also costly. Although we are well known that we are learning and we should not be stingy when it comes to learning, but perhaps to mention that we are students and not all of us have enough money is not too much I guess.
6. What have you learnt from this course?
From this course, I learnt about finding resources from the internet, using softwares and editing resources.
7. What have you learnt from this course that you did not expect to?
This course provided a lot of software as a tool to edit the resources. There are too many that I do not even expect that internet skills are essential. I did not expect the use of Photobucket, Youtube, and so on are taught to trainee teachers because I thought they are not related to the word “resources”.
8. What have u expected but do not learn from this course?
What I have in mind is about this course is how we will use resources and manipulate it in class. To be precise, to adapt it into the primary school classroom. For example, how we use pictures to teach about animals, how to make puppet from socks, how to search for song, poems, rhymes that are suitable for primary school classroom. Pupils like realia, or things they can manipulate from the lesson using their motor skills. However, I could not find it in this course.

Introduction
MOHD. YUSREE BIN JUMPAAN
PEH080037
hi. my name is written above. nothing much about me. oh ya, my motto is "we build humanity". this is very interesting term to me actually because when we mention "build", it always refers to architect and engineer. actually that was my ambition before. until i realize that i am in teaching institute, there is no way i can be an architect or engineer anymore. after this i will deal with human which is the children. my job after this is to develop them. that is why "we build humanity" i my motto. = )

13th reflection
one more week to go and we are on the end of the semester. Okay, for this week class, we were asked to submit all the task that we had done:
E-BOOK, LESSON PLANS and also MODULE 2 (Pictures Editing).
the next task is the lecturer asked us to edit video. This has to be done with a partner, so..still working with the same partner (Farah Husna), we decided to make a video about FRIENDSHIP. we chosen to use windows movie maker as an experiment to make this video. it was hard at the beginning because we need to select the pictures carefully and make goes in a flow. it will look more like a movie later on. secondly we chosen our friends as the main character in this video because later on, maybe 5 or ten years later, when we see ourselves back, we would remember all the joy we have, sad we shared and tell them to our children.
want to watch the video? click the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha5VwLxh8Dg

12th reflection
as i mentioned last week, i am going to show you our e-book. before making an e-book, there are few characteristics that we need to consider to make our e-book as creative and interesting as possible.
the characteristics are:
(a) the e-book must be appealing
(b) using big fonts
(c) colourful and bright pictures
(d) interesting- put animations, sounds etc.
(e) the language used must be suitable to their proficiency
it was tough work to us with just limited guide to make one e-book. however, my partner and i decided to make it simple. before we make one, the most important thing to do is to plan. thus, this is the thing that we do first in order to plan.
(i) select a theme or a topic
(ii) choose the setting-time and place
(iii) think about the characters and their characteristics
(iv) the plot of the story-conflict, climax, resolution
(v) navigational tools to make sure the slides can work properly (can go to next slide and previous slide)
(vi) selection of the sounds and animations to accompany the e-book reading
our topic was SEA ANIMALS as our theme.
Title: The Adventure of SpongeBob and Patrick
Theme: Sea Animals
Year : Year 2
this are some of the snapshot. i took them from Farah Husna. this effort actually goes to her because she made all the design and all. beautiful isn't?

10 reflection
For this week, there were 3 things that we need to do:
1) To cut the chorus part of any song to make it a ring tone to make it a ring tone
2) mix two songs together
3) To edit the song "Dua Insan" by M.Nasir and Siti Nurhaliza
From the task, we all now were urged to learn about audio editing skills, where we need to alter and modify the audio to suits with our needs particularly in teaching.
The software used for this task is audio-city program or AUDACITY, and after learning these editing skills, I know that I can do something better to enhance my teaching next when I become teacher in school.
