What do you like about blogging?

Blog, an online human invention that helps people to interact interactively through online. What a lame introduction aite? actually in a first glance there are nothing special about blogging. It was just a place for people to express what they felt and share it. What do i like about bloging? it is basically due to the personalized site that it offer, meaning that i basically can do what ever i want in my site of course with ethics and morale self limitation. Another thing that i like about blogging is we can include some interesting pictures and share it with the world! (lame again). For 'developing English student like me blogging offers a place where I need to use english whether i like it or not that all~

What you do not like about blogging?

Will you even read this? ahahahha joking only.. What do i dun like about blogging?

1. People in blog usually not realistic
2. Place where people can handle reality
3. So limited to internet user only
4. If you are intending to surf using mobile phone..think again
5. Sometime it is depressing

What have you gained from blogging e.g. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc. How?

Basically the percentage that i managed to gain / learnt or whatever just about 30%, we dun write blog because we are force to, blog are written through the cognition birth of ideas not a hammer and nail concept of you do you'll get mark and if you dont u are in trouble..get me?. Honestly i do learn something, that is you can do something in limited time if you are determined not to fail this course..come on don't try to deny this fact of working last minutes aite? yet all the stated skills are basically learnt in a forced way so you can imagine how many of it will stick. But there a re 1 positive part of blogging that is as long as it is free to write what ever you like, it is good even you are writing about not so good things which sometimes can be the ugly truth (sounds familiar aite?)

What do you like about this course?

Honestly i dislike this course, i dont know why because for me resources is not about saving things in your pen drive or even attaching file in email.. Come on even a standard 2 children nowadays bring laptop to their school. You don believe me? go and as Cikgu siva in SK Air panas near old klang road, I can even give you his number. Internet in basically a thing that almost all people know and please lecturer, please inspect thoroughly things that you assigned to us dont call up people and do a list of unnecessary things thus burdening the student with tons of work and what Islam dislikes, "wasting things".

The lecturer need to go increase the fitness before attending each class and please do not give any reasons for arriving late or what ever. COme on you are paid by government to teach so teach with the ample amount effort for the money that government spent get me?

Maybe my words seems a bit harsh but hey put a side the multilevel layer of student and lecturer and take a second to think about what I write. Maybe there are soem thruth in my words but I do admit that student sometimes can be immature and instinctive.

The thing that i like about this course hm...let me think...hmm...a minute please for me to digest..hmmm...ahhh... I like some exposure to the thing that I dont know for example photoshop ( which im quite bad at it) but i believe i learnt much about photoshop from my friends via "exploring" rather than being Scaffold~ sigh~

What you do not like about this course?

a lot and dont get me started on this..I choose not to answer this question.


What have you learnt from this course?

"Cooperation with friends" thats all ahhh... one more thing.. patiece and not to get easily provoked~

What have you learnt from this course that you did not expect to?

Seriously you want to know? Im quite shock after making and printing a colored e-book then someone come and tell to me hey why do you print it in colour? i answer It an assignment aite? I want to do it properly..and he answer hey dude..there are no marks for this assignment lah..in my heart..Oh mY..-fainted-

Not the Im not sincere in completing my assignment, government pay us to study so im prepared receive any work because I had signed an agreement wholeheartedly. But please and please manage the content of the course to be MEANINGFUL..yea..that the correct word, meaningful!

What have u expected but do not learn from this course?

Before i get in the first resource class i did not expect that we will receive a pile of work...yet im wrong but dont worry we are the mighty cohort 4 we can survive anything aite (dah mcm superhero plak)

If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate?

Maybe I will change list of task give to us. I will planned carefully each task given so that I wont burden anyone yet achieving the goal of the course. In college we are use to do lots of works and i think this portfolio is nothing to us but all the work are properly planned and not like this portfolio which will be altered, added without any warning.

On a scale of 1 – 10, please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.

before 5
after 5.4

This is not a joke because if we really want to study technologycal skills resources alone maybe just 0.1 % of all or even less..Therefore I'm quite glad that I manage to sail through this course. Hope that the lecturer read this with a Bismillah at the start and an open mind because this is basically what the student want to say but they are trying to avoid to. But considering this maybe for the everyone benefit I write it all down ( not all but almost half)


I would like to thank Pn Poziah for the knowledge that she shared and all mY cohort 4 for the knowledge that you thought me..Only God can repay you guys and with that Wasssalam~~

It is the last class for this semester. How can I describe it? hmmm..it is quite sad to leave this sem.
First of all thank you dear lecturer and tutors for the valuable experience and thank you for being apart of our memories now and forever...Beside, it is also resourceful where my course mates would share links, videos and information about anything that is beneficial for me especially when I’m doing the assignments. For example, the video assignment was a big challenge for me because I never had been exposed on how to do video, what software should I use and so on. All in all, I am glad an relieved this semester has come to the end because I’m really need the long holidays...I couldn’t wait for that..however before I could reach cloud nine..I need to face the worst of all that is EXAM..huarghhhh...To all my friends, let us pray and hope the questions would be easy to score and I wish everyone the best of luck

Thx to Pn foziah for "contributing a little bit in the process of building up this sem's knowledge..at least she did give us some tips before going into exam

this is the week that I hate the most..It is mainly because of the submition of asgment that we need to do..A i expected our asgment was not accepted by the lecturer, plus she even add up the number of things that we need to do...haiya...more work..

but surely she had her own justification on doing it and we as a student just have to obey it even how bitter it taste..hmm...not so in the mood ah..later I talk more ok..=(

Haaa...this week we need to submit our video..the class starts with a bit of chaotic situation, I think the student and lecturer need to take note that for every class their attendance will be counted as zero if they are later that 15 minutes from the time class started...therefor there no need to be angry at each other lah..huhuhu

Luckily our video was accepted by the lecturer..hehehe this video was a pure tribut to my pop hero, a legend and a world icon~ Micheal Jackson!

If i not mistaken this week's class starts of with presentation form every group. Luckily my group managed to finish it. After the presentation pn Foziah asked us about our progress of assignment 2 and 3. iTs kinda shoking because I had no manage to do any single of it..hhuhuhu..

but after some clarification we manage to understand and be a bit clear about what we need to do~ =) thx to my group mate~

We are assign in to pairs to make a vidoe regarding our own interest..first of all we need to design a story board. Storyboards are graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence, including website interactivity.

The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today, was developed at the Walt Disney Studio during the early 1930s, after several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation studios. My partner and I had decided to make a video about The life of MJ..haizz...need to sattle the tutorial lg..sigh~

this week we did something on video editing..based from my understanding Video editing is the process of editing segments of motion video footage, special effects and sound recordings. Motion picture film editing is a predecessor to video editing and, in several ways, video editing simulates motion picture film editing, in theory and the use of non-linear and linear editing systems. Using video or film, a director can communicate non-fictional and fictional events. The goals of editing is to manipulate these events for better or for worse communication. It is a visual art.

Early video recorders were very expensive, and the quality degradation caused by copying was so great, 2 inch Quadruplex videotape was edited by visualizing the recorded track with ferrofluid, cutting with a razor blade or guillotine cutter and splicing with tape. Improvements in quality and economy, and the invention of the flying erase head, allowed new video to be inserted cleanly into an existing tape. This technique was referred to as linear editing. If an early scene needed to be lengthened, all the later scenes would need to be added again. Multiple sources could be played back simultaneously through a vision mixer to be mixed or keyed.

Modern non-linear editing systems are computer-based, though there was a transitional analog period using multiple source VCRs or LaserDisc players. Footage is played and captured on a hard drive. Content is ingested and recorded natively in the approriate codec which will be used by software such as MAGIX Video Pro X, Avid's Media Composer and Xpress Pro, Apple's Final Cut Pro, and Adobe's Premiere to manipulate the captured footage. High definition video is becoming more popular and can be readily edited using the same software along with related motion graphics programs. Clips are arranged on a timeline, music tracks and titles are added, effects can be created, and the finished program is "rendered" into a finished video. The video may then be distributed in a variety of ways including DVD, web streaming, Quicktime Movies, iPod, CD-ROM, or videotape.

For the home market, consumer-friendly products such as MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, AVID Express DV, CyberLink PowerDirector, Final Cut Express, Sony Vegas, Pinnacle Studio, ULead VideoStudio, Roxio Easy Media Creator, and muvee autoProducer have come on the market with the emergence of computer video editing for the home PC. Two free programs that are bundled with computers are Apple's iMovie and Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker. There are many other free opensource video-editing software, too.

im pretty sure after this we need to do some thing related to this..=(
