Week 4


Podcast? What?
Hi again everyone. So this week, I learned about podcast. I actually never heard of podcast until now. I had listened to it before but did not know what it was called. So podcast is an audio or video file being broadcast via internet and can be downloaded. There are two main uses of podcast:
  • Students can listen to existing podcast
  • Students can record and post their own podcast
It can be one of the sources for students to increase their knowledge or improve their skills. For example, improving student's listening skill. They can search existing podcast on correct pronunciation so that they can pronounce better or might sounds just like a native speaker after a lot of practice. There are bunch of websites that you can access to listen to variety types of podcast. Example of podcast website is sound cloud. Aside from listening to podcast, producing one can be done easily. You just need to know the content of your podcast and having a good quality of sound. This two aspects are to make sure that your audiences understand and can clearly hear what you are trying to convey. To produce a good quality podcast, it need to have background music or sound effect to make sure your podcast is not dull. To do that, Audacity is the place for it! Audacity is actually an editing application that requires you to be patience and let your creativity takes over. Speaking of it, I have to make one of my own. I'm struggling to find a topic for my podcast but I will try my best to produce it. Stay tuned!

Week 11

OMG! It is week 11 already! Hi again everyone~ So this week we did not learn any new topics because we are focusing on creating our e-courseware. It took more than just an hour to finish creating one page. It really required our full attention and detailing. It really is a tedious work. It is kind of hard when it only can be done using one account. But we took our turn on creating it step by step. I really respect people that work in programming department or sector. We are already at our lesson and practice page on collective nouns for animals. Along the progress, it felt like we were refreshing our memory and knowledge by creating this e-courseware. We will upload our e-courseware once we are done. Until then, bye!

Hi again everyone! It is another week of update So this week we are required to draft our own e-courseware. It is not hard when you just need to draft it but it is a tidiest work when you need to build up your own courseware. We are required to use Gagne's nine events as our base in creating this e-courseware. As a group, we decides to make an e-courseware about collective nouns for students at the age of 10. Our major goal is to enhance students' ability in mastering collective nouns on animals and occupations in the specific time. The duration of time for students to learn is one hour and thirty minutes. In order for us to build the e-courseware, we are require to use Smartbuilder. Here is something I did to try out the Smartbuilder software. It requires details and focus because if it is not plan out nicely, the outcome will not be smooth. When it is not smooth, the students might find it boring and we will not achieve our goal. I will be updating the ...
