Assignment 2

At last, I am able to shout out load to the world that i had completed my second assignment in time!!!
Wait a minute, still too early to be happy... The assignment is not handed in yet....

I tried my very best to apply knowledge and skills that i had been learning throughout the semester like editing videos, editing audio downloading software and using it to convert files from one format to another... So I thought that it would be good if i am able to add in the latest technologies in teaching aids which is the SMARTboard as it has several features that are cannot be found in conventional power point presentations.

I got permission from my lecturer and start working on my E-book which is done on SMARTboard. Happily working on the assignment and feeling very satisfied that i had put an effort on my assignment as i always do last minute work but I started working on it more than a week before the due date!! I am proud of myself! =P

Sadly, I found out from my lecturer that my assignment is not accepted because it does not use the conventional software such as microsoft office.... Disappointed as all my effort on the assignment is dumped into South China Sea... I wonder secretly if it will find its way to Selangau so that schools there can adopt my work in their teaching and learning? Looks like my imaginations are going to far.... What to do? Just hope for the best and prepare for the worst...

Pray hard for me that i don't need to repeat this course!!

Moral of the lesson:Play safe with conventional stuff around and don't try anything new in assignments...

Assignments? Task? Which Is Which?

Assignments? Or is it just a task? Till now i still cant cope with the new learning style in UM... This that is why my seniors told me that life in UM is different from life in MPIK.

I am still trying my very best to complete every task given by the lecturer but still I tend to mix up everything and find it difficult to be sure of what am I suppose to do for certain assignments and task.

I had just completed one that I thought is a task, developing teaching aids for four skills but when I upload my file onto ADEC, I was surprise to see a row of words below the column to browse files. It is written ' send assignment for marking'?!! What!!! Its an assignment? Oh My God!!!

Will need to wait till tomorrow when I see my lecturer again to confirm whether I need to send it in as an assignment to be marked.

I hope we are able to receive clearer instructions for assignments.

Pray hard that i wont need to repeat the course next academic year because I am still lost...
