Reflection on hands activity and class session SKI 3013

Here I would like to write some reflection about hands on activity and class session for SKI 3013 course. I learned a lot of new and interesting knowledge in this course. In this course, I had learned about Blogspot.com, Wix.com, Prezi, Publisher, Movie Maker, Flickers and Chemsketch.

In my opinion, creating blog and flickers is so much fun. You can share everything you like in the blog and flickers that you had created. As for me, I shared a notes, simulation and video as well about chemical bonding topic these two softwares. Creating your own is easy and quite interesting. Blog and flickers is a site where we can say as cloud storage as well. For example, I uploaded notes and I can view my notes anywhere as long as I have the internet connection. I also can share my notes in fast and easier way to others. As a future teacher, I can share with my students so that they can view the notes as their reference in their home. Also, you can get followers and follow your friends site as well.

This is my first time on creating wix.com account. So, I am so excited to learn about this new knowledge. Wix.com is fun and attractive site that we can use as an online resource. By using this wix.com, we can share something with much more attractive ways. Students or readers will like something that is more colourful and attractive. We can create our own template in this site. We can design it the way we want and it will easier for us to use this wix.com. I had created my own site of wix.com and I shared it with people around the world. Interesting knowledge I had learned from this site.

Before, we always use the Microsoft Power point to make slide for our presentation. The function of Prezi is just the Microsoft Power point but it much more attractive by using Prezi. Prezi had advanced features that we can use as to make our slide presentation more attractive and cool. I really enjoy using Prezi to do my slide presentation. It will be more attractive especiallt it have various templates design that we can chose. The most important thing is that we can use it for free. As a student, we should be smart enough to improve our presentation without using money. We still have a lot of choices even we use it for free. But, when you have some money, you can pay for advanced one. It will be worth investment.

Publisher is where we can create booklet and so on in our design way. During the lesson, I learned about how to create booklet by using this publisher. I think it is much easier for us to design our own booklet or create our own template. This publisher are already in our laptop or computer and we can use without using the internet connection. It will easier for us to work. Publisher is software for suitable for graphic and design. As for the Movie Maker, we can create short movie or some short video by using this movie maker. Movie maker is different to others that I learned before as it creates video and I am so excited to create my own video. As a future teacher, I think that movie maker can be one of the important medium to deliver information to our students as it will be much more fun and more attractive rather than slide presentation. It will help them more in to understand some topic as they can see visually and no need to imagine by themselves.

Lastly, the Chemsketch that is very useful for science students and teacher or even the lecturers. Here, we can create our own molecule structure with easier way and some of them are ready to be use. It is more interesting as we can build and create our own set-up for apparatus that will be figured for the experiments. We can create it and it is so much interesting. This software can be downloaded with no price. It will be an useful software for science teachers and students.

I would like to thanks my lecturer for giving me and my friends this opportunity to learn all about these. It will be a beneficial knowledge that I can use it in future. That’s all from me.
