This is the last entry for my blog. Thus, as I reflect my leaning journey in this course, I find that I have gather knowledge about technology skills whereby which ultimately can help me to develop teaching kit/aids.



1. What do you like about blogging?

I like blogging because it can share and express my feeling in words and also the way I feel and also my point of views when I reflect from the lesson. Not only we can learn from ourselves and also people can learn from us. This is because, when I read my friends blog, it widen my perspectives.



2 what do you don’t like about blogging?

I like blogging but sometimes, it need some time to update and publish weekly entry. This is because to write a quality entry is not a easy task.



3. What have you gained from blogging?

By blogging it really helps me to be crtitical thinker. Moreover, I have improved in my English language and the way I write essays.

4. How?


In the each entry it requires me to express my thoughts, what I have leant during the class and the learning journey doing blog. Thus, I find it ultimately helps me to be critical thinker. Moreover, I need the good skill in vocabulary and grammar. The more I write, the more I improve my writing and excel it. I even start to write creatively at times. I mean at least I am taking an initiative.



5. What do you like about this course?

Week 14 (25 October 2010)







Today is Week 14. This is last week of the class. Time goes very fast. I have learnt so many skills in technology. Today, we basically do as in the following:

Session 1-Revision



We do some revision for exam with Puan Foziah. We have discussed about some topic briefly from the book, Teaching English in ESL classroom.
Today, I have continued with Task 2. I have chosen “One Malaysia Theme Song.”




Session 2-Video Presentation


Next, Puan Foziah shows us some videos. Then, Puan Foziah and us discuss and give feedback based on video watched. According to Puan Foziah, a video should have a message. I also realize that in order to create a quality of video, we have to think and plan well. We have to have a message so that it can it can give impact viewer.
Personal Feedback:
Video: By Adah and Haiqal
I like the video. But, I think I would like to know more about love rather than the interview.


Video: By Woo and Flora

I like about the message of the video, is all about father. However, I couldn’t hear the music.


Video: By Maha and Rafidah

I enjoy watching the video. However, I wonder why they have to put their personal pictures in the earlier stage of video.


Video: By Animal Extinction by Visva and Virmala

The video make realize that about animal extinction.They have work and do their best.


In short, I realize that to make a quality video, I have to make many considerations in term of message, quality, pictures, theme and etc.



Session 3-Tutorials & Discussion



Task 2

Each student should choose a song. Each student must have their own song and must not be the same with any other student. Using this song, extract the video, the pictures and the audio file from the song. Then, design a lesson where all those pictures, audio files and videos could be used as teaching aids. The lesson plan must be from a topic from the English Language Primary School syllabus. This task should be handed as soft and hard copy.



I also have discussed with my group members about Task 3.



Task 3
In a group of 4, choose a topic from the primary school English Language syllabus. Then use the materials from the task one and two and incorporate in the lesson plan. The lesson should consist of three single periods and one double period. The lesson plan should be handed in together as a group consisting of soft and hard copy.
We plan to choose topic entitled “Proud to be Malaysian” year 6. I am work on Reading skill.

Sunday, October 17, 2010

WEEK 13 (18 OCTOBER 2010)





Today, we have to:






1. Submit Module 2 Photo Editing(with the comments).



2. Submit e-book





3. Submit the lesson plan (groups of 4)







This is a video created by me and my pair, Utaya Devi entitled "What a Wonderful World"







During the lesson hours, we were also given the time for consultation on the task 2 which is on making video. Here, my partner and I have planned to create a video based on the beauty of world.


Puan Foziah comments that, we can improvise our video by:


(1) Personalize-Perhaps we can put some of our personal pictures in the video. Puan Foziah also suggests that we can use photo editing to edit picture.



(2) Put some lyrics- We can add some song lyric entitled “What a Wonderful World. The rationale of doing this is to lead viewer sing a long when they see the pictures.



(3) Rearrange pictures: We need to rearrange pictures so that it in line with song. For example, when “I see trees of green..” we should put a picture of trees instead of fish.




What a Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.



I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.



The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.



I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.



MODULE 4




About Module 4, as I go through, I notice that this module is very helpful for me to know more on how to use the software like:


• Any Video Converter


• BS player


• Cyberlink PowerDVD


• FLV to AVI Converter


• Free Studio


• HJ-Split


• Image Grab


• Power Video Cutter


• Prism Video Converter


• Real Player


• Riva FLV Encoder


• SID Video Cutter & Splitter


• VCD Cutter


• Windows Media Player


• Online Downloader


In short, I believe that this module can help me to upgrade my technology skills even though I have zero knowledge on video editing.

WEEK 12 (11 OCTOBER 2010)







This week Pn Foziah started the lesson by showing us some examples of e-books which have been prepared by her and some of our seniors. The aim of the showing some samples of e-books is to help us to get a clearer ideas on how to make an e-book which is interesting and attractive that can engage learning in a fun and meaningful way.



For e-book, there must be:

1) A theme to the story.


2) Setting (time and place)


3) Plot that shows the conflict, climax and resolution


4) Characterization


5) Navigational tools to make sure the slides can work properly (can go to next slide and previous slide)


6) Pictures must be clear cut and colourful, no different shades or shadows.


7) Sound to accompany the e-book reading.



Moreover, Puan Foziah also gives us some tutorials of continuation on module 2 (photo editing). Next, Pn.Foziah went around checking the eBook that we have done. Pn. Foziah also commented my e-book which is about My Pets.

Here are some snapshots of e-Book created by me and Utaya Devi.

















Finally, before the class ends, we were shown a video clip on CUN and ELLA.Puan Foziah told us that the the video comprises of photos which have been edited by their fans.


Videos related to Cun & Ella:












Pn. Foziah also assigned us with a new task which is to create a video based on the selected theme, in pair.

WEEK 11 (4 OCTOBER 2010)




REFLECTION-PHOTO EDITING

Today, I realize that with photo editing, we can do so many things in improvise the quality of pictures. As I read and try out the tutorial task in Module 2, I am interested in photo editing and I can't sop myself to edit pictures.






WHAT IS PHOTO EDITING?


Photo editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they be digital photographs, traditional analog photographs, or illustrations. Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium. Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3d modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images. Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch. To understand more, I have read about photo editing and I discover there are so many features of photo editing !


SESSION WITH PUAN FOZIAH PHOTO EDITING


Puan Foziah sharing with us the rationale of photo editing. She also have shows us some examples of photos that have been edited.

How Hui San asks some questions to Puan Foziah


From the session, I realize that there are so many features of photo ediitng which I find interesting and new for me.



FEATURES OF PHOTO EDITING



One of the prerequisites for many of the applications mentioned below is a method of selecting part(s) of an image, thus applying a change selectively without affecting the entire picture. Most graphics programs have several means of accomplishing this, such as a marquee tool, lasso, vector-based pen tools as well as more advanced facilities such as edge detection, masking, alpha compositing, and color and channel-based extraction.


(A)LAYERS

Another feature common to many graphics applications is that of Layers, which are analogous to sheets of transparent acetate (each containing separate elements that make up a combined picture), stacked on top of each other, each capable of being individually positioned, altered and blended with the layers below, without affecting any of the elements on the other layers. This is a fundamental workflow which has become the norm for the majority of programs on the market today, and enables maximum flexibility for the user while maintaining non-destructive editing principles and ease of use.



(B) IMAGE SIZE ALTERATION


Image editors can resize images in a process often called image scaling, making them larger, or smaller. High image resolution cameras can produce large images which are often reduced in size for Internet use. Image editor programs use a mathematical process called resampling to calculate new pixel values whose spacing is larger or smaller than the original pixel values. Images for Internet use are kept small, say 640 x 480 pixels which would equal 0.3 megapixels.

(C) CROPPING AN IMAGE


Digital editors are used to crop images. Cropping creates a new image by selecting a desired rectangular portion from the image being cropped. The unwanted part of the image is discarded. Image cropping does not reduce the resolution of the area cropped. Best results are obtained when the original image has a high resolution. A primary reason for cropping is to improve the image composition in the new image.


Before cropping




After cropping





(D) HISTOGRAM

Image editors have provisions to create an image histogram of the image being edited. The histogram plots the number of pixels in the image (vertical axis) with a particular brightness value (horizontal axis). Algorithms in the digital editor allow the user to visually adjust the brightness value of each pixel and to dynamically display the results as adjustments are made. Improvements in picture brightness and contrast can thus be obtained.


(E) NOISE REDUCTION


Image editors may feature a number of algorithms which can add or remove noise in an image. JPEG artifacts can be removed; dust and scratches can be removed and an image can be de-speckled. Noise reduction merely estimates the state of the scene without the noise and is not a substitute for obtaining a "cleaner" image. Excessive noise reduction leads to a loss of detail, and its application is hence subject to a trade-off between the undesirability of the noise itself and that of the reduction artifacts.
Noise tends to invade images when pictures are taken in low light settings. A new picture can be given an 'antiquated' effect by adding uniform monochrome noise.

(F) REMOVAL OF UNWANTED ELEMENTS


Most image editors can be used to remove unwanted branches, etc, using a "clone" tool. Removing these distracting elements draws focus to the subject, improving overall composition. Introduced in Photoshop CS5, the "Content-Aware Fill" could be used to select an object (unwanted branches) and remove it out of the picture by simply pressing "Delete" on the keyboard, without destroying the image. The same feature is available for GIMP in form of the plugin "Resynthesizer" developed by Paul Harrison


(G) SELECTIVE COLOR CHANGE

Some image editors have color swapping abilities to selectively change the color of specific items in an image, given that the selected items are within a specific color range. Image editors are capable of altering an image to be rotated in any direction and to any degree. Mirror images can be created and images can be horizontally flipped or vertically flopped. A small rotation of several degrees is often enough to level the horizon, correct verticality (of a building, for example), or both. Rotated images usually require cropping afterwards, in order to remove the resulting gaps at the image edges.




(H) PERSPECTIVE CONTROL & DISTORTION


Some image editors allow the user to distort (or "transform") the shape of an image. While this might also be useful for special effects, it is the preferred method of correcting the typical perspective distortion which results from photographs being taken at an oblique angle to a rectilinear subject. Care is needed while performing this task, as the image is reprocessed using interpolation of adjacent pixels, which may reduce overall image definition. The effect mimics the use of a perspective control lens, which achieves a similar correction in-camera without loss of definition.


(I) LENS CORRECTIONS


Photo manipulation packages have functions to correct images for various lens distortions including pincushion, fisheye and barrel distortions. The corrections are in most cases subtle, but can improve the appearance of some photographs.


(J) ENHANCING IMAGES


In computer graphics, the process of improving the quality of a digitally stored image by manipulating the image with software. It is quite easy, for example, to make an image lighter or darker, or to increase or decrease contrast. Advanced photo enhancement software also supports many filters for altering images in various ways.Programs specialized for image enhancement are sometimes called image editors.



(K) SHARPENING & SOFTENING IMAGES


Graphics programs can be used to both sharpen and blur images in a number of ways, such as unsharp masking or deconvolution.[2] Portraits often appear more pleasing when selectively softened (particularly the skin and the background) to better make the subject stand out. This can be achieved with a camera by using a large aperture, or in the image editor by making a selection and then blurring it. Edge enhancement is an extremely common technique used to make images appear sharper, although purists frown on the result as appearing unnatural.

(M) SELECTING & IMERGING OF IMAGES




Photomontage of 16 photos which have been digitally manipulated to give the impression that it is a real landscape. Software used: Adobe Photoshop
Many graphics applications are capable of merging one or more individual images into a single file. The orientation and placement of each image can be controlled.
When selecting a raster image that is not rectangular, it requires separating the edges from the background, also known as silhouetting. This is the digital version of cutting out the image. Clipping paths may be used to add silhouetted images to vector graphics or page layout files that retain vector data. Alpha compositing, allows for soft translucent edges when selecting images. There are a number of ways to silhouette an image with soft edges including selecting the image or its background by sampling similar colors, selecting the edges by raster tracing, or converting a clipping path to a raster selection. Once the image is selected, it may be copied and pasted into another section of the same file, or into a separate file. The selection may also be saved in what is known as an alpha channel.
A popular way to create a composite image is to use transparent layers. The background image is used as the bottom layer, and the image with parts to be added are placed in a layer above that. Using an image layer mask, all but the parts to be merged are hidden from the layer, giving the impression that these parts have been added to the background layer. Performing a merge in this manner preserves all of the pixel data on both layers to more easily enable future changes in the new merged image.



(N) SLICING IMAGES


A more recent tool in digital image editing software is the image slicer. Parts of images for graphical user interfaces or web pages are easily sliced, labeled and saved separately from whole images so the parts can be handled individually by the display medium. This is useful to allow dynamic swapping via interactivity or animating parts of an image in the final presentation.



(O) SPECIAL EFFECTS


Image editors usually have a list of special effects that can create unusual results. Images may be skewed and distorted in various ways. Scores of special effects can be applied to an image which includes various forms of distortion, artistic effects, geometric transforms and texture effects, or combinations thereof.



(P) CHANGE COLOR DEPTH


It is possible, using software, to change the color depth of images. Common color depths are 2, 4, 16, 256, 65.5 thousand and 16.7 million colors. The JPEG and PNG image formats are capable of storing 16.7 million colors (equal to 256 luminance values per color channel). In addition, grayscale images of 8 bits or less can be created, usually via conversion and down-sampling from a full color image.

Sample of image after include special effects



(Q) CONTRAST CHANGE & BRIGHTENING

Image editors have provisions to simultaneously change the contrast of images and brighten or darken the image. Underexposed images can often be improved by using this feature. Recent advances have allowed more intelligent exposure correction whereby only pixels below a particular luminosity threshold are brightened, thereby brightening underexposed shadows without affecting the rest of the image. The exact transformation that is applied to each color channel can vary from editor to editor. GIMP applies the following formula[4]:
if (brightness < 0.0) value = value * ( 1.0 + brightness);
else value = value + ((1.0 - value) * brightness);
value = (value - 0.5) * (tan ((contrast + 1) * PI/4) ) + 0.5;
where value is the input color value in the 0..1 range and brightness and contrast are in the -1..1 range;




(R) CLOR ADJUSTMENT

The color of images can be altered in a variety of ways. Colors can be faded in and out, and tones can be changed using curves or other tools. The color balance can be improved, which is important if the picture was shot indoors with daylight film, or shot on a camera with the white balance incorrectly set. Special effects, like sepia and grayscale can be added to a image. In addition, more complicated procedures such as the mixing of color channels are possible using more advanced graphics editors.
The red-eye effect, which occurs when flash photos are taken when the pupil is too widely open (so that light from the flash that passes into the eye through the pupil reflects off the fundus at the back of the eyeball), can also be eliminated at this stage.

PRACTICALITY OF PHOTO EDITING IN ESL CLASSROOM




1. I can use photo editing to edit a photo based on the teaching objectives or purposes. The rationale of doing this is to ensure:

 The photos/images that I used will look more colourful and attractive.
 The picture clearer from the original.

2. Moreover, I can use Photo editing to create a storyline by adding text on the picture

Today, we are also asked by Puan Foziah to carry out the tutorial task for Module 3.



After finishing the module, students should carry out three projects.

Task 1

a. Choose a song, and then edit it by isolating the chorus of the song to make it in a ringtone. The song could either be a Malay, Mandarin, Hindi or an English song.



b. Save it on CD and hand it in together with the module.



Task 2

1. The next task is to cut and paste two songs together and make it sound nice.




2. The evaluation criteria will depend on the quality of sound and the tempo of the song.


Task 3

i.The third task is to edit a song and to change the quality of the song to make it sound better. The editing must be done for the song ‘dua insan’ sung by siti and M.Nasir. The intro needs to cut out the clapping sound and the end of the song, cut out the clapping sound as well as the introduction of the singers.




SELF-REFLECTION


I learnt many new skills in this module. These are some examples and description about tools that I have used in this module.

Microsoft Paint overview




Paint is a drawing tool you can use to create simple or elaborate drawings. These drawings can be either black-and-white or color, and can be saved as bitmap files. You can print your drawing, use it for your desktop background, or paste it into another document. You can even use Paint to view and edit scanned photos.
You can also use Paint to work with pictures, such as .jpg, .gif, or .bmp files. You can paste a Paint picture into another document you've created, or use it as your desktop background.

Common tasks: Paint

Draw a straight line

Draw a freeform line

Draw a curved line

Send an image using e-mail

Draw a rectangle or square

Draw an ellipse or circle

Draw a polygon

Show or hide the toolbox

Undo changes

Acquire an image from a scanner or a digital camera


COMMENTS FROM PUAN FOZIAH

I also get some comments from Puan Foziah regarding my task in MODULE 3. In Task 1, the ringtone entitled "What you waiting for" by Mizz Nina and Colby O Denis, Puan Foziah commented that I need to edit in the introduction part.



In Task 2, Puan Foziah also commented that I need to improve on my second choice of songs. Finally, in Task 3, Puan Foziah also comments that I need to edit in the introduction part and ending part.




I would like to say thank you to Puan Foziah as she give me a chance and great opportunity for me to edit and re-do my task.


These are some snapshots, during the session with Puan Foziah who are so helpful in giving us comments on how we can improve our Task 1, Task 2 and Task 3, Module 3.



















In conclusion, I have learnt new skills that enhance my skills in technology. I hope from what I have learnt from Module 3 and guides from Puan Foziah, it will help me in creating my own teaching aids for the school.
