ENTRY 12: I AM SO DONE WITH SMARTBUILDER


Hi everyone~

So, we are almost 80% done with the courseware. But I am still struggling with my Powtoon video because of my poor internet connection at my rented house. So, this problem has resulted some setbacks for me as I have to wait patiently for the internet and I came to the college early in the morning just to get a stable internet connection so that I can continue creating the Powtoon video.

The original plan was for us to combine all of our parts together. But I am done yet with my Powtoon video even though I have completed the rest of it such as the notes and instructions. Luckily, my groupmates were kind enough to give me a few extra days for me to do it as at that time I was quite busy editing our short film. P/S: you can check it out in the link/video below.


And finally, the Powtoon video is done!!!!!!


And today we were planning to combine our parts together under one project. However, the God of Technology apparently have abandoned us (T_T)

When we were combining our parts into Balqis’s laptop, we discovered that Aisyah’s part (Class exercise) did not work when it is combined with the rest of our parts. After we did some digging, we realised that Aisyah’s laptop has virus and this causes her SmartBuilder software could not work properly and cause the program to crash. Therefore, we have decided to do Aisyah’s part from scratch on a different laptop. So lesson for today is to always do a regular scan to our laptop to make sure these things won’t happen again.
These are a few snapshots of our courseware! You can check it out in the link below:

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...

ENTRY 7: ME VS POWTOON

Image
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, w...
