::MULTIMEDIA IN EDUCATION - Word Processor Software (BOOKLET) ::

Assalamualaikum and a very good day everyone.............

As a continuous task for my previous lesson, which is making a brochure by using microsoft publisher, we also need to construct a booklet. Same as every task, we need to construct booklet base on our topic which is web 2.0. So me and my partner Erna Lina had decided to construct our booklet with 6 pages.

The steps to make booklet are:
1.Open Microsoft Office Word
2. Click Page Layout
3.Click Margin
4.Click Custom Margin
5.Click book fold.

So, this is our booklet on our topic Web 2.0 in education.

::MULTIMEDIA IN EDUCATION - desktop publishing software (BROCHURE)::

Assalammualaikum and a very good day everyone...
During this week lesson, everyone need to construct a brochure regarding our topic that we have studied before which is web 2.0 in education. We need to do this task with our pair. At first me and my partner Erna Lina need to choose which design we want to use for our brochure, to construct a brochure we need to have Microsoft office publisher.

 After that click brochure on the Publication Types, then choose any design that you interested to. Finally, write any information that you want to add in the brochure.

So, this is our brochure that we had construct together.

::COMPUTER IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH-SPSS::

Assalamualaikum and a very good afternoon to all of you.....
For this week lesseon, we had learnt about how to key in data by using SPSS. Our lecturer had give a short brief on what is the importance of using SPSS in education. By using SPSS all the numeric data can be change into statistic data more easier. We need to key in the data based on the survey that we have carried out earlier, which is about web 2.0 in education. First off all we need to key in the data in the form of variable view, after all the data have been key in we need to calculate the numbers of respondent that have answered the survey.  Finally, we need to analyze al the data in the form of mean,median of=r frecuency.

This is our final frequency based on the survey monkey questionanire that we have done earlier.

 

::Multimedia in Education - 2D graphic editing software::

Assalamualaikum and a very good day everyone....
During our lecture this week, we learnt about multimedia in education. To be more specifix, we studied on 2D graphic editing software. 2D graphics can be divided into two which is vector and bipmap. Here is the example of vector an bipmap pictures.

As we can se vector an bitmap have their differences base on the sharpness of the image. Vector image is more clearer than bitmap image even if we zoom in the picture to 100%.
After that, we are ask to do some sketch of picture by using paint. We need to use all sorts of materials in the paint.

This is my painting during my computer in education class last week.

 

::COMPUTER IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH - online questionnaire::

Assalamualaikum and a very good day everyone. During our Computer in Education class last week, we are studied on how to construct a survey by using survey monkey. At first, we are ask to studies on the structures of that online survey. After that, we try to create a random survey on any topic that we want to. After we are getting better to create an online survey, we are ask to create a survey on a topic that we had discussed with our partner earlier. As you all know, me and my partner Erna Lina binti Tumadi were discussed on Web 2.0 in Education. So we had created a survey on that topic. Here is the link to our survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KP335QN I hope everyone can give their feedback and spend some of their time to answer our survey.
We also need to create  a questionnaire by using our google document. Me and my partner erna construct a questionnaire based on the topic that we have been discuss earlier which is web 2.0 in education. During previous lecture, we already list out the ten simple question for our task by using online survey monkey. So, by using the same questionnaire, we retype those questions into google document via creating form. After finished creating those questions into google document, we need to print the question and distributed it to any students in our campus. So, we decided to distributed the questionnaire to 10 respondents in our faculty.

::COMPUTER IN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH - research process on educational research rocess, literature review and plagiarisme ::

During our last two week classes, we are studying on a educational research process. Scientific research involves a systematic process that focuses on being objective and gathering a multitude of information for analysis so that the researcher can come to a conclusion. This process is used in all research and evaluation projects, regardless of the research method (scientific method of inquiry, evaluation research, or action research). Here are the steps to carry out an educational research process.

 

Besides studied on educational research process, we also studied on the literature review process. Based on my understanding, this website is a literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers. This website can enlarge your knowledge about the topic, writing a literature review lets you gain and demonstrate skills in two areas which is information seeking and critical appraisal. Information seeking is the ability to scan the literature efficiently, using manual or computerized methods, to identify a set of useful articles and books. Whereas critical appraisal: the ability to apply principles of analysis to identify unbiased and valid studies. These are some basic questions that we can apply when using the literature review websites.

Ask yourself questions like these about each book or article you include:

1. Has the author formulated a problem/issue?
2. Is it clearly defined? Is its significance (scope, severity, relevance) clearly established?
3. Could the problem have been approached more effectively from another perspective?
4. What is the author's research orientation (e.g., interpretive, critical science, combination)?
5. What is the author's theoretical framework (e.g., psychological, developmental, feminist)?
6. What is the relationship between the theoretical and research perspectives?
7. Has the author evaluated the literature relevant to the problem/issue? Does the author include literature taking positions she or he does not agree with?
8. In a research study, how good are the basic components of the study design (e.g., population, intervention, outcome)? How accurate and valid are the measurements? Is the analysis of the data accurate and relevant to the research question? Are the conclusions validly based upon the data and analysis?
9. In material written for a popular readership, does the author use appeals to emotion, one-sided examples, or rhetorically-charged language and tone? Is there an objective basis to the reasoning, or is the author merely "proving" what he or she already believes?
10. How does the author structure the argument? Can you "deconstruct" the flow of the argument to see whether or where it breaks down logically (e.g., in establishing cause-effect relationships)?
11. In what ways does this book or article contribute to our understanding of the problem under study, and in what ways is it useful for practice? What are the strengths and limitations?
 

we also learnt on the structures of plagiarism websites. Plagiarisms can be define as  "the deliberate or reckless representation of another's words, thoughts, or ideas as one's own without attribution in connection with submission of academic work, whether graded or otherwise." (Instrument of Student Judicial Governance, Section II.B.1.).When you commit plagiarism, you will most certainly be guaranteed to lose all of your credibility. Though you do not think that you will be found out, you will actually be found out a lot quicker than you realize. There are a number of tools and technologies that can be used to detect plagiarism in as little as five minute’s time. Just think of how blown you will be when your teacher or someone comes to you to inform you that they know you committed plagiarism. Then, the word will get out, and your credibility will be completely and totally shot. These are some ways that we can use to avoid ourselves from being a plagiarisms victims.

1.  Paraphrase - Never use someone else's words - substituting synonyms is also a no-no. Don't use their sentence structure either. Write everything in your own words as you understand it. The best way to do this is to go through the required reading material and then put it all away when you start writing. Refer to it only after you are done to check if you have got all the facts right.
2. Quotation Marks - If you need to use what someone else has written or said in your writing, write their exact words and put them in quotation marks. If you are omitting certain sections, put '......' in between words to indicate this. If you are incorporating a word or words so that the sentence makes reading sense, put those words in square brackets '[like this]'.
3. Cite Sources - You can either write 'According to Professor so-and-so....' or 'Professor so-and-so states that....' or you can provide links to websites you have referred to or you can list the sources after your article or do all the above.
4. Manage your time - If you have to meet a deadline, start work early. So you have plenty of time to research and write. Lack of time is one reason many people - especially stressed-out students - intentionally or unintentionally plagiarize.

 

::COMPUTER IN TEACHING AND LEARNING - web 2.0 in education::

Assalamualaikum and a very good day everyone..For assignment 1 every pair need to choose one topic to be discussed. Me and my partner Erna have decided to choose the topic WEB 2.0 IN EDUCATION. Web 2.0 can be define as a technologies that provide teachers with new ways to engage students in a meaningful
way. "Children raised on new media technologies are less patient with filling out worksheets and
listening to lectures" because students already participate on a global level. Web 2.0 is focusing
on the ability of people to collaborate and share information online. The lack of participation in
a traditional classroom stems more from the fact that students receive better feedback online.
Traditional classrooms have students do assignments and when they are completed, they are
just that, finished. However, Web 2.0 shows students that education is a constantly evolving
entity. Whether it is participating in a class discussion, or participating in a forum discussion,
the technologies available to students in a Web 2.0 classroom does increase the amount they
participate. Web 2.0 consist of Blogs, Wikis and web services. Using this method, learning would become more easier an efficient.
