Video? Huh Finally....

I manage to complete my project within the time given. Thanks to lecturer and all the assistants for your help and guidance in my way to complete the video. Thanks for the sample videos you showed us earlier, and also thanks for all the tips given. They were really helpful for me in order to create an effective video for primary pupils outside. Hope that the video would be highly accepted by all thus, exploited it in teaching and learning (T&L) processes for the benefits of primary school pupils.

Let's see how many people will watch my video in youtube. I bet the number would reach thousands since I have 'famous imported actors' acting for my video. You know who they are right? =P

Educational webs

Fourth week lecture was presented by Miss Chin on some useful educational webs and portals such as EduwebTV, Cikgu.net, Portal Pendidikan, savethechannel.com, and many others to be explored in class for the benefit of both pupils and teachers. Teachers may explore the webs with pupils in class since the webs provide us with lots of activities to be discovered and exploited. Besides, the webs also offer updated information concerning on the educational issues. So friends, let’s us take this opportunity to explore and make full use of these webs in our way to be good teachers.

This week also would be a very busy period for me since I had to finalized my video project. For the project, I had chosen a very simple topic to be introduced to pupils. I hope my “Let’s save water” video could bring positive impacts in pupils life as they would start practicing what had been presented in the video. Let’s work on the video.!

A.S.S.U.R.E Model

Analyze Learners

State Objectives

Select Methods, Media and Materials

Utilize Media and Materials

Require Learner Participation

Evaluate and Revise

ASSURE Model presented had changed my perception about Teaching and Learning (T&L) processes carried out in class. When carefully looking at the model, I could see that teaching profession is not that easy as being claimed by people outside. To conduct a lesson, teacher has to consider the characteristics of learners, objectives of the lesson, the most effective methods and strategies to be used as well as the materials which will be utilized in the lesson. In addition, an excellent teacher will think and consider opportunities for the learners to participate in the T&L processes. All these elements are important in conducting a meaningful lesson in class. Excellent teachers also will spend some moments for reflection and evaluation on the learning process and try to find ways to improve their future Teaching and Learning processes.

Thanks and congratulations to Miss Chin for the very meaningful and successful presentation on the model. This would be a good start for me in my way of becoming a good teacher in future time.

Second lecture promises us with clearer and clearer views on our video project. Before this, lecturer had explained about the task but i myself was not clear about that. I understand the task but still did not have ideas how to shoot, how to create the video.

From the lecture, we had been exposed to sample videos and some programs @ softwares that we could use to create the video. From there, i had some ideas and i had determined on what i am going to do for my video. In fact, in my group, we have some experts in movie maker and also one of my friend is a good animator. By having them in my group, i feel more confident to complete the task. Hope i manage to create the video as soon as possible. Pray for me okay!
