5th Class Reflection

  Hello there, I'm back for my 6th post here.

  Today's class started with MUSIC. I mean the topic 'Music as the supporting learning tool'. Ofcause are those classical song, not those that we are listening in our phone right now. Hahaha. Although i myself didn't listen much classical songs, but im still in love with my 'Marriage D'amour'. Definitely will give it a try next time in my class. I really do agree with using this as a 'count down' for student's activity. Hopefully, i could manage to design out a playlist that end exactly at 15minites, 20 and 30 minutes. ( see when i have the mood to do so, maybe next year? Hehehehe) It is really a good idea to use music as a timer for activities, rather than you shouting and yelling for 'Times up, times up, stop writinggggggg..'. It is much better that you could train your students to follow the music. Once the last music is played, students know how many minutes more they have. I believe students will enjoy this kind of class rule too.

  We talked about the objectives and outcomes for lesson plan. And ofcause, from there, we have a forum to be completed by next class. Which is create a PowerPoint slideshow for 1period class of our own discipline. I think i'll be taking Form3 Mathematics, Topic 3: Circle. I think only, still considering.... Opps! I still have to crack my head for the objective and outcomes for the PowerPoint i will be creating.

  During this week class, lecturer talked about 'Slide'. What is a good slide? And what is a bad one? I think that, to create a good slide, you must fit yourself in others shoe. What i meant is, take yourself as the audience, and ask your own self, ' can i see clearly for the information presented?' and 'can i understand?'. This is important. Asking yourself can you see clearly included the aspect of background colour, front size and colour and must not forget, the quality of image. Your image or pictures inserted might look fantastic in your computer but when it is projected on the board, it's much different! Remember that!!!

  This week reflection task is................

"Choose one set of PowerPoint from 'Internet', then 'fix' it!"

Additional of this question was "If you think the PowerPoint do not needed to be fixed, explain why with 4 reasons"

  Well.. As i am so lazy to crack my brain for the 4 reasons. I decided to take a needed to fix PowerPoint. hahaha. Here i start my task.

  As mentioned above, I am lazy. I choose to take a 8 slides PowerPoint which i download and uploaded again in my own SlideShare account. Here is the link : Creating Your Future(Original Version)

  Okay, I assumed you had viewed and look through the slides. Let me introduce the slide first. This slide is created for the purpose of presentation BUT not the type of presentation we used to have here. It's from a friend of mine in USA. They had their presentation by passing around their laptop to show their classmates the slides. The original version was, it has timing, and background music. ( i have no idea why after i uploaded this to slideshare, i do not know how to play the music and the timng thing, can always ask me for the slide, i can show you personally). So, this explains why the front is small, the background of the slide is yellowish, and the quality of image is not perfect.

  Here come the edited version : Creating Your Future(Edited version)

  I changed the design of the background, to white. So that we can see the information on it clearer. I enlarged and Bold-ed some of the front to make things look clearer and to contrast them. I did cut off some words too, because some of it was too long. I changed some front colour to dark red to emphasis the important keywords. I couldn't change the quality of images because those images were many years back which the quality of the images considered quite GOOD during back time.

  In a conclusion, whenever you are creating or designing a PowerPoint, I understand that it would be awesome if there are many images and being colourful. BUT, simple always is the best, Whatever you wanted to add in or enhance your slides, DO always remember ONE point. "Can the audiences see and understand them?"

  Thats all from me today. Mini reminder to stress myself up, 1 more class till my mock teaching. =O Scary? I do not know. Hahaha. Off to complete my forum now. Hmmm. feel like eating the latest Mcflurry--GreenTea McFlurry. Tried to find HIM yesterday but unfortunately, that MCD branch do not have it. So sad... Lets try again. Hehehe

  Procrastinating my Totto-Chan ;p

  Bye everyone. Do looking forward for all the feedback and comments to upgrade myself. Thank you very much and much appreciated :D
