Audio Editing

This week, we have been exposed to audio editing. We were first served with music which is very sentimental, make us relax. Then, I'm so amazed to see how technology has changed especially in terms of audio editing, from merely using human senses to digital senses. I realized that audio editing can improve the quality of the music that we want to listen. We can do almost everything apart fom cut the music that we wish to use.

E-book...

Hello...

E-book, is it a book that we used to record something electronically? That is the first thing I have in mind when I first heard the word. However, during lecture this week, Mdm Foziah showed us a few examples of E-book which give me clearer idea of what E-book all about. It's an electronic book which can be a story book produced using technological tools.

Fire Drill...

Hello...

KRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody call 911, Fire burning on the dance floor....oooooo
But, in Malaysia, we don't use 911, we use 999...Today, I'm a bit late but then, when I arrived at Faculty of Education, there was a fire drill but does not look like so. Everyone was "lenggang-lenggok" getting out from the building. We have a briefing regarding the situation in which we are required to be more serious so that we would not be "burned". The interesting part is that we have fire extinguished demonstration which we enjoyed so much, some of us even took the opportunity to try extinguished the fire. Then, we have class as usual...Till then, bye..

Explore!!!

Hello...
This week, we have to continue with our internet skills tutorial. But, this time around, we have to do and explore it on our own. It is good for me in which I could learn and really understand how does things work especially the "Print Screen" functions. A lot of things can be done with that functions. The other thing is that I also realized that not all computers have that functions. Before this, I thought that all computers willl hav esame thing, but then noticed that it depends on the model and manufacturer...hehehe till then, bye...

Internet Skills...

Hello...
Last week, we have been exposed to the "Print Screen" skills which I have never done before. It is very interesting to learn that. However, we are not only learning that, we also have to come out with a tutorial on how to do each of the internet skills step by step. There are so many things to do and I'm not sure whether I can finish it within 2 weeks, but I will try... The other thing is that we also have presentation by two groups regarding Chapter 1 of a book given to us. We have to some sort of summarize and present it to our friends...I have nothing much to say, but I'm looking forwards towards next class..We will be editing photo, and I'm really love that kind of thing...
Till then, bye...

Theories & Modification???

Hello...!
My second week lecture is very interesting, something related to child psychology. We are required to prepare a presentation based on a reading material given by our lecturer. My group has done it right after given the task and it is very enjoyable. It provides us a channel to think of something, refreshing our background knowledge, tapping our schemata in relation to children's ability to learn language, though I admit that I may be facing difficulty recall back all the theories that we have learned. However, since we are dealing with all the theories in every semester, it is not that hard. I could even add a few new facts regarding children's ability to learn and acquire language. Continuous exposure also ensure all the theories that we have learned sink in our mind. Thus, it will remind me that I am an English teacher. After we have had enough with the theories, we are given general preview of what we will be learning for the next few weeks. I am really looking forward since I've never been exposed to this kind of thing. We will not only be exposed, but to practically explore everything on our own. I love this part because I believe that we need a chance to experience and discover for ourselves everything that we have learned. As a result, we will be able to fully understand what we have learned. I have not inform what we will be learning yet. Actually, we will learn a few basic skills on how to edit photo, viseo, audio and so much more using some softwarea and applications. I have almost forgotten that, while searching for something, I come across this video at YouTube, something related to how children learn langugae. To figure out more, watch it for yourself.

Blogging Academically???

Hello...!
First of all, I never thought that I would have to blog for academic purposes. It just happen that on my second day in UM, I have to produce a blog, by extension an academic blog. Before this, I thought that blog is solely for fun and leisure, but then noticed that it can also be used for educational purposes. Speaking of education, University of Malaya, were commonly known as UM will be my knowledge paradise for the next 2 years. So, I guess that in the next post, I maybe be talking about something which are related to my studies or even some sort of "academic post". Hopefully, all my rabid readers will enjoy the sensation of being exposed to various things related to my education. till, then, bye...
