Caution!!! Photos seen here might not be true....

Again, I felt a little reluctant to attend today's lecture because I was sleepy.......

Ok, no more lame excuses....

Our fourth lecture, not looking forward because the hours were too long........ 3 hours!!!

The lecturer ended up to be interesting because we were taught how to edit photo's using photo shop. Our lecturer uploaded edited photos of Wu Chun and Ella on ADEC as an example for us... As I used to be a fan of Wu Chun, I enjoyed it!!!

Next is our working time, we were all given a task to edit photos using photoshop.... Me.... Again..... Not a very techno savvy person had never used photoshop before so i decided not to start my task when i do not know anything about it.

I logged onto Youtube and watched several videos on how to use the software.

I also watch videos that show what a miricle can photoshop do to a photo. I can be as beautiful and as curvy as Miss Universe by the help of photoshop *laugh*!!

It was an intersting lecture and i hope that I can master the use of the software then i can do what ever i want with any photos..... HAHAHAHA!!!!

Josh, Bak, Connie and Ruby...... Beware of me and my photoshop!!!!!

The Third Lecture....

This is our third lecture of the course. We were required to work in our groups and discuss about our assignments. I was fortunate enough to be in the same group with Joshua, Khairel, Jez and Ayuni. As i am not very techno savvy and our assignments requires a lot of IT work, I am happy that i have my groupmates around to help...

For this assignement, we are required to choose a topic from the Year 5 textbook and a specific objective on what do we want to teach using technology and different reaources. Many were lost as we do not have the textbook with us. I was lucky enough that i taught Year 5 classes when I was in S.K. Taman Midah for my SBE. So our group chose the topic 'Travel and Adventure'.

Through this lecture, I start to see the usage of technology used in developing teaching resources. It will really help me a lot if i were to posted to a school in an urban area in two years time. Can't believe that I am going to become a teacher in no time.

I hope that the course would be able to help me make my lesson interesting and effective to ensure my pupils are all able to benifit from my lessons.

My main aim : Teach properly and do not ruin any kids' future...

Our second lecture

It was indeed a very hard time without internet access at home. No online TVB series, no chatting with friends, can't check my email and contact my aunt in UK....WORST-- Assignments cant be done....

This week, we are here at Makmal Komputer 2 for our lecture. This week, we are expected to get into our groups and start working on our assignments. It took the class some time to get the registration of the group done because there were several misunderstandings that occur like who should be at which group and everyone was bugging the lecturer to change their groupings.

Finally, my classmate came out with an idea and saved the day. Registering online, still a very new experience for me as we do not have this when we were still in IPIK. Looks like UM is really different from IPIK.

I learn from the lecture on how to edit photos. It is something new to me and it seemed interesting. I can make a lot of funny photos from that. Imagine cutting Joshua's head and putting it on Connie's neck.... HAHAHAHA!!

Sad that i still do not have internet access at my rented house. Waiting for the internet access and download the software to edit photos or add special effect!!!

Resources lecture.... M Loving It...

Welcome!

Finally, I manage to get myself here to write a sentence or two. This is my first post for this blog and it is also my first blog ever on blogspot. Not that I had never post or own a blog account before just that i had never took one seriously. Thanks to my Teaching Resources course lecturer, Pn Foziah, that I start to really look into what i can do in blogging.

Here, I hope that am able to learn more and share about blogging, teaching resources, teachnology, my experiences, thoughts and many others that I am not able to name them yet. I do hope that everyone can come have a look here and feel free to leave me a comment or related interesting links to share with others.
