Group Project Work 2.

Playing and fiddling with movie making software was my interest since long time back. I will not say I did perfection with all those software but have confident in using the applications. I began my basic using window Movie Maker 2.6 sometimes in the year 2006 when our school was supplied with the first computer. Since I was very much interest in these software, introduction to Camtesia Studio to us during our residential class  was much more interesting than movie maker 2.6. With interest and thrust to learn more on movie making, I took opportunity to work with Mr. Penden Dorji, a film director/editor during my break. During my stay with him   I was familiarize  with CS5 and CS6 movie making software and audition 1.5 software. I never knew that my learning on this software would be useful during my DE course. Thanks to my uncle for his guidance and facilitation.

This project works was to be carried out in a group where we were asked to use Camtesia studio 6, record and produce our own Video Tutorial of 15 minutes time on any particular lesson/Topic. we needed to edit and add some of the effects to our video tutorial.

Like the activities we carried while making quiz,  we once again were brought together via various Wiki. Everybody shared their thoughts and finally we had a presentable lesson plan. After the lesson planning and the distribution of the roles, we decided for deadline for compilation of clips which I volunteered and shared my dropbox to all the group mates. I was able to collect all the clips just before two days due submission date.
means. We did defend our ideas of planning lesson plan on our own comfortable topic but unanimously agreed on planning for Diagonals and Symmetry. Lesson plan was drafted by Ms. Sonam Choden teacher at Kuenselphodrang Primary School, Thimphu which was shared amongst our group member through

Although I was familiar with the software, I found it very tough in bringing in all the clips together due to different file format my friends had shared. It took me longer time than I thought I would take. With the little idea I had on using the software Camtesia Studio I was able to upload our immature video tutorial on Diagonals and Symmetry for grade IV.


I am thankful to my team mates for cooperating in making this video tutorial a presentable one or otherwise a good one. Thank you dear friends.

Group Project Work 1.


“Create interactive Flash-based quiz using Wonder share Quiz Creator. In your quiz there should be 20 different questions having minimum of two questions each form 9 different question types. You have to add animated images, Flash movies and sound effects to polish and enhance your quiz with comprehensive properties”.
As soon as we had this instruction, we initiated in creating a small group in WeChat, namely ICT friends. In this group, still a very active social networking, it is always used for discussion of ICT learning in our schools.
Carrying out this project was fun, we divided “The question Type” amongst our self.
Ms. Lhamo: True/False and Short Essay type questions.
Ms. Sonam Choden: Multiple Choice and Multiple Response.
Mr. Sonam Tenzin: Fill in the blanks and Word Bank
I got Matching, Sequencing and Click map question types when we dived it during our residential class.
This project was similar to the activity we carried out during our residential class. the only difference is that this was to be carried out as a group activity when we are far apart.  Although apart, technology helped us work together, we shared our individual work through wiki, drive and mostly through wechat.

This project work helped he learn how easily we can create a quiz for our children, it was fortunate for me to carry out this activity since this year I am suppose to carry out school quiz competition sometime at the end October.   The quiz unlike last years will be certainly different and I am sure my colleagues and children will enjoy it. With the idea and the application I am sure I will be able to improve on it for further use.
