ENTRY 7: ME VS POWTOON


I had a rocky beginning for my Powtoon. The story began with me trying to create Powtoon and do my part. For the first half an hour, it was good. I managed to do almost half of it until the WiFi starting to slow. Too slow up to a point where I couldn’t even load the homepage. I asked my group mates if they encountered the same problem as me, and most of them said they do. After that, I gave up trying to load the page and went to sleep and just pray that all my work has been auto-saved.

The next day, I logged in to my account and thank the lords of auto-save, my project is still there!!!!!!

When we told Madam Azida about our issues with the Powtoon, she told us that most probably it occurred because we have to ensure it was auto-saved every time we made the changes. This is because if we did not do it every now and then, the server might crash due to it trying to save a lot of info at the same time resulting it to crash and the webpage couldn’t be loaded.

On that day, we had a two hour gap and we ended up going to the cyber café to finish our Powtoon because we do not want the same problem to occur if we do it at home since none of our house has a steady WiFi connection.

Next is recording our voices for the video. As for me, I have trouble in my pacing. This is because I am a natural fast talker. So I found it hard to slow down the speed of my speech and I have to be conscious with my speed so that I will not speak too fast in order for people to understand my part. I received comments from my previous lecturers that I need to slow down with my speed because I’m talk fast like the LRT! What I did to ensure I stick to the normal pace, I asked my friend to be my “conductor”. She will give me signs when to slow or speed up my speech (special thanks to Atul!!!! You rock!).
I think that’s about it for this week~

ENTRY 13: Here Comes Goodbye~

Image
Here we are again. When there is a beginning, there must be an end. This week is the last week of class for this semester and the last entry for this blog. I feel sad and at the same time I am glad that this semester is coming to an end as it has been a roller coaster ride for everyone with assignments etc. I think this course has taught me a lot of things that I found useful in my life such as I learned on how to create a courseware, podcast and Powtoon. Other than that, I discovered that how little does Aisyah knows about technology and she does not know how to do some stuff that I found easy to do. However, it has taught me that there are some people who are tech savvy like me and there’s “dinosaurs” like Aisyah and Kak Nur who do not know most of the techie stuff. But I have learned on how to be patient and tolerate with people like them. Other than that, this course has given me some ideas on how to incorporate technology into lessons. I found it useful as I can us...

ENTRY 9: NOT AS SMART AS SMARTBUILDER

Image
Hello netizens! So today we continued our lesson with SmartBuilder by learning on how to insert audio and creating hotspot in the courseware. To me it is quite difficult to do at the beginning as I couldn’t really see what Madam was doing because I sat at the back row. But luckily Bal know what to do so most of the time I rely on her to do that. I guess it is time to change my spectacles prescriptions. Like I said last week, creating the command for the SmartBuilder is the same as coding. You have to be precise with the command/code. If you made one mistake, the command could not be executed and in my case, I always forgot to tick the “False” option for the hotspot. But that is not the end of my problem with SmartBuilder. As for inserting the audio, it was okay. I was able to do it for my first project. However, when it comes to the second project that I created, it couldn’t be played. And I discovered that it worked in the first project and not the second project is because...
