Today we learnt about photo editing and plus, we were assigned with the third assignment, which is the e-Book. We are going to explore and create our own online reading material and display it to other people so that we would be able to produce a creative, colorful and tempting online reading material. Even though it’s a new thing for me, I figured out it is intriguing since it is related to what is current for the learners in order to learn language in an exciting way. So that the use of e-Book will attract the young learners to keep reading for they will be fascinated with the variety colourful illustrations. Furthermore, the use of colourful illustrations will enhance their understanding of the story line.
We discover that there are a lot of website that supply us with beautiful pictures to put in our e-Book, for instance, Flickr, Photo Bucket and Webshots. We also have to find out the software that will assist us to do photo editing, such as how to do red-eye-remover, how to make it smoother and so on. The functions of photo editing give us chances to the ranges of ways to come up with the most beguiling photos to capture pupils’ attention.
Other than that, we have to sit in a group thirteen in order to discuss the children’s capacity for indirect learning. Our group’s focus was the task versus language gain of the students, whereby, it is concerned with the subconscious and conscious learning. After that we have to present our input to our fellow friends of what are included in the particular topic. We are glad that we get positive feedback from Pn Foziah. I like this kind of activity for it helps us to brainstorm and cooperate with each other as well as share the information that we obtained throughout the discussion process.
