Reflection (Week 10)

Assalamualaikum and hi !

     On this week, we just continue on our latest assignments which is the homepage, and also the digital story telling. For me, I gave more focus on the homepage since this week is the due week for us to submit the assignment. So, Nabilah and I decided to finish it earlier so that we can focus on other work such as finishing the script writing since digital story telling is a tougher job to do.

     We used Weebly to create our homepage. The topic, or the thing that we decide to sell or promote as our own product is bridal dresses. We decided to create a homepage that will provides information and sells collection of bridal dresses. It was quite hard since we need to find a lot of pictures and we also need to mak e a research about different materials and fabrics. But somehow we managed to do it, and we managed to create the homepage, with our own brand which is Bellasjasmine. You can click here - Bellajasmine Bridal Collections to visit the page.

     It was really interesting to create our own brand, and we need to be really creative in managing our own page that will promote our product. It was also very funny because we had a lot of ideas, following our own imaginations. Even the page is not really interesting or look like it was created by an expert, but we really satisfied with our own efforts. It was not an easy job to do.

     We have submitted the homepage and I feel relieved that another assignment was completed. Now, I am focusing on finishing the script and also we were planning to start the shooting of our digital story telling. We were also started to focus on our blogs, since Miss Amreet did the surprise review on our blogs in the class ! I felt quite embarrassed because when Miss Amreet checked my blog in front of other classmates, and same things she did with all my classmates' blogs, because I did not updated much on my blog. So we were asked to update our blog so that it will not burden us when we have to submit the assignments in the blog.

Reflection (Week 9)

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone !

     On week nine, we continued our class as usual, with lectures and assignments. We have submitted and finished a few assignments. Prezi presentation, interactive resume, and web advertisement. We have  a few assignments left which are homepage, digital story-telling and lastly completing our personal blog, this blog.

     On this week, we focused on our homepage and also the digital story-telling. Since the blog is an assignment that we need to complete continuously, we can just finished it one by one according to requirements for the blog contents.

      For the homepage, it was also a pair work assignment. And this time, we just need to stick with our previous pair so I was paired with Nurul Nabilah Baba. I like doing work with her since we can cooperate together and do the work well together. For the homepage, there were also few choices of platform that we can choose to create our own homepage and to promote a product or any things that we wanted to sell as our own product and we need to submit it on week 10. For this homepage, we choose to use Weebly, as it is really a simple platform to create a homepage. Thanks to Fatin Zalikha, our classmates who suggested Weebly to us.

     Besides that, we also started to discuss about our biggest, most challenging assignment, which is digital story-telling. For this assignment, we work in a group of four. My group members are Zarwani, Lyana Natasha, Nurul Nabilah and I. We need to create our own story and present it on week 13. So we decided to create a simple story, just like a video blogger. We thought the idea would be fine as long as we include all the requirements for digital story telling which are pictures, videos and audios. But when we showed the idea to Miss Amreet for her approval, she said that our idea would be boring and she wanted something more interesting. 

     So we came out with another idea and this time, we got Miss Amreet approval. We create our own story, and for me it seems quite hard to do but I know we would be able to do it together. So we started to divide our part and tasks, and I became the scriptwriter for this story and I am still working out on the script with help from all my friends. I am looking forward to this story to finish!

Reflection (Week 8)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone !

     This week, we were actually just got back from our hometown for our Eid Mubarak holiday. We got almost two weeks holiday and we were still in our holiday mood. But, assignments are still assignments. It is our priorities so we need to complete all the assignments on time.

     On this week, we focused on our interactive resume assignment. We were asked to create an online resume using any resume platform. We need to make it interactive an interesting since the resume is going to promote and represents ourselves and our expertise. Miss Amreet told us some platforms that we can use to do the resume. They are Opresume and Wix. These two websites are quite easy and simple to use.

      For this interactive resume, I decided to use Opresume as my platform. Opresume is a very simple and easy platform that allowed me to create my own resume based on my own creativity, or I can just use the templates provided. It is also free, so I can just register it for free without any payment and I can just sign up using my Facebook account, it makes thing easier for me to complete the assignment.

     It was a simple assignment and for me it should be easy to complete the assignment. But somehow, I was not really know how to promote myself, and I do not know how to explain my expertise so it became quite hard for me to finish this resume. Fortunately I managed to submit this assignment on time and I also got new knowledge in doing resume for my future career appliance. 

Reflection (Week 7)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone. 

     For week seven, we just continue the class with lectures and our assignment. We focus on Web Advertisement since the due date is on Friday, week seven. We need to submit the advertisement before we go back for Eid Mubarak holiday.

     Nabilah and I choose Powtoon as our platform to do the advertisement. At first, we drew out the main things that we wanted to insert in our advertisement. The purpose of the advertisement is to promote the Diploma in English programme in UPSI and attract people to join the programme. We decided to include the benefits of joining the programmes. We also include all the courses that have been provided under Diploma in English programme.

     For me, inserting the information was not the tough part in this assignment. The harder part was when we are treasuring the Powtoon. It was our first time using the Powtoon so we had to discover everything by ourselves. It was quite hard to understand all the functions in Powtoon but somehow we tried all the functions one by one. Me managed to understand all the functions and we also managed to finish the advertisement in quite short time and submitted it in Wikispaces.

     But unfortunately when I was in class on Wednesday, I have heard some of my classmates asking Miss Amreet about contents that we must put in our advertisement and I found out that our advertisement has left out a few things of the contents so we need to edit it again. It was really hard to edit the advertisement in a short time but gladly I managed to do it. Here is our advertisement, you can click here to watch ! 

     It was quite a hard task for us since it was our first time doing the advertisement but I’m glad that we had the experience and it will be useful for all of us if we would need to do anything that related to the platform again in future. 

Reflection (Week 6)

Assalamualaikum and hi to all.

     On sixth week, we still continue with some people left with Prezi Presentation. But on Monday, I did not attend the class because of the Nuzul Quran’s leave on Tuesday. Since I was in hometown, I skipped the Monday class so I did not listen to the few last Prezi Presentation by my friends.

     On Thursday, I went to class as usual and we were asked about the attendance on Monday since there were many of us skipped the class without any valid reason. We continue the class with Miss Amreet explaining about another assessment which is web advertisement. It was a pair work assignment. I got into pair with Nurul Nabilah Baba.

     We were asked to do a web advertisement, promoting the Diploma in English programme. We needed to create the advertisement using any platform that we prefer. We were asked to include certain things in order to promote the programme, to attract readers to join the Diploma in English programme in Sultan Idris Educational University. Nabilah and I decided to use Powtoon as our platform. It is an interesting platform to create a simple yet interactive advertisement. 

      We decided to use Powtoon because it seems really cute with many cartoons and animations and I know we would be able to create an interesting advertisement yet it is quite simple to use. But somehow we need to treasure this application by ourselves since it was our first time using it but for me it would be an interesting and valuable experience. If I were asked what platform that I will use to create an interesting advertisement, I will surely suggest Powtoon !

Reflection (Week 5)

Assalamualaikum and hi to everyone !

      On Monday, we continued with the Prezzi presentation. On this day, a few people volunteered to present their topic and fortunately I managed to present my own topic as the last person for that day presentation. I presented about Korean Traditional Games or in Korea they call it as “Jeontongnori”. At first when I started my presentation, as I mentioned my presentation topic, all my classmates said that they had no idea about my topic. It became more interesting since they were wondering what was “Jeontongnori”.

 For my topic, there were three games that I have chosen to highlight in my presentation. I chose these three games because I think they were easy to be played at home and the rules of the games are very simple to be understood. I focused on certain basic information for all the games such as the history and way to play the games. I have chosen Ddakji, Alkkagi and Yutnori. I explained all the steps and rules in playing the games using pictures and also videos. But for the last game which was Ddakji, I prepared the Ddakji disk, the disk that is needed to play the game, and I show how to play the game by myself in front of the class. Even I was very nervous at first but I managed to control my nervousness because I was so excited to share the games with my classmates.

The presentation continued on Wednesday and there were many people managed to present their topic. One of the topic that I found interesting was about Korean Cuisine presented by Lyana Natasha. Since the topic got related with Korea same with my topic, I was really interested in the Korean Cuisine that she had showed us. 

Many people presented on this week but somehow we did not manage to finish all the presentation so the rest of presentations were continued in the following week.

Reflection (Week 4)

Assalamualaikum and hi !

        In the fourth week, the Prezi presentation had started. Miss Amreet asked for any volunteers to present their topic rather than calling our name. The first person who volunteered was Nuraminah Rashid. She presented on the topic Face. She told us about different types of skin and problems that usually faced by person according to different types of skins due to usage of products. She also told us how to make our own mask that is good for our skin problems.

        Next presenter that presented an interesting topic was Nur Anis Aimi. She presented about lipstick and the information that she had shared with us was very interesting and it became a new knowledge. She told us about the substances that has been used to produce lipstick. She also shared the suitable colours of lipstick on different person with different skin colours as well as tips to make our lipstick last longer. 

There were many interesting topics that had been presented by my classmates on that day. But there was one topic which I found really interesting. It was about 'Bucket List' presented by Nur Syahira Anuar. She showed us about what is bucket list and the reason that we need to have a bucket list ! It seemed really interesting because it will be the things that we really want to do at least once in our life.
