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.

Blogging and Wiki

Creating a blog for oneself was an interesting experience, I have been blogging since April, 2011 as a part of my online course. Today’s class was to create a blog for oneself, since I already had one and need not create another, I helped my friends and shared my experience to them on how to go about bogging. Our tutors, as I saw were busy with each individual participants explaining every detail of blogging, I felt that my online course was of advantage to me. Thanks to University of Oregon, American English Institute for offering this kind of course.

Today we were also introduced to Wiki and the purpose of it. We were very much eager to learn about it since most of us didn’t have one.  Practical demonstration were show by our tutor on how to create one for our self. A tutorial on how to create wiki was also linked on our vle page. After the detail demonstration we were left on our self to create one and submit the address to the common forum.   The main purpose of creating wiki for this module/session was to share among our groups on the two project work were supposed to carry out.    

Having learnt this application it gave me added strength to carry out my projects and other assignment from where I would be able to get it edited by our friends. I am sure I will bale to share not only ICT assignment but also other assignment I will be carrying.

Hope all of us here enjoy reading and share our ideas through the blog and Wiki and learn many new things.

Day V 9th July 2015

Today’s class was practical session on using Google Drive, Docs and Google Forms. Since I was familiar with Google Drive and Docs, I didn't have much difficulty in creating them again. Taking the opportunity of time, while my colleagues where still having practical session on Drive and Docs, I engaged myself in practicing the usage of Google Forms because I was wanted to more about it.

I regretted not having known this application before, had I known the benefits of this application I would have presented my past project work much more professionally.

With the detail explanation and demonstration I was still not very confident to carry out the activity. Having little idea on this application we were assign with an assignment which carried 10% weight-age of the module.

During the time of submission of this assignment I was very much sure that I had done it correctly, but to my utter surprise the following were the comments I got.

With little resources and Idea I was determined to learn the making of questionnaires using the Google Forms to the perfection as possible. Most of the participant as I seen had similar kind of comments given by our tutor and therefore,  I was very much worried where did we all go wrong.     

Since this activity is much needed for our further studies and might be useful for some I would like to revisit the making of questionnaires once again in detail. I would like to request my readers kindly correct me where possible. After selecting the Google Form I added Title to my questionnaires.  

After choosing background to make it look professional I start filling up the form. Providing my your questions and then choose   type of questions I wanted to use. I wanted to use add page break. While doing thi,s I really had to concentrate on what I am doing because this procedure was were I lost major chunk of marks for the assignment.   When I was done with writing of question for add page break I followed the following procedure;

I needed to customize the confirmation message by either :

·         Choosing link to submit another response

·         Publish and show a link to the results of this         form

·         Allow respondents to edit answers after responding

To share your form you have three options :

·         Share a direct link to your form with others

·         Share your form on social media websites 
     ( Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus)

·         Share your form via email

·         Or embed it in your classroom blog or         
      website
