This is my first post in respond to Dr Izaham's question in class.
1. A quick introduction, I am Aimi Syafiqah Ghazali, the youngest of my family, and also a cat freak. Even though I am a cat freak, I've never had one due to my mother's hatred towards these feline creatures. My bad.
2. Well, I guess I am in between the border in which you define a geek and a savvy person? In other words, I am able to explore about certain softwares on my own but some of the basic ones are actually quite alien to me. I skip the basic, but I can handle the difficult ones :)
3. I am more towards designing and video editing. I can handle adobe photoshop, illustrator, and elements. I can also handle auto-play and have done quite a few projects using this software in my previous semesters. However, I don't know much about CSS that is used in auto-play, so I only utilize the basic features of the software. I am still learning about Sony Vegas Pro and I am clueless about Adobe Flash.
4. Yes, I did. I think it was in high school in which I had to answer questions using a courseware for the novel The Pearl. I also occasionally answer grammar questions online.
5. Yes, I did. I tried using Prezi as an alternate to powerpoint. Since the school has limited computers, I was not able to carry out any activities using computers. Furthermore, the number of students is almost 50 per class, and the amount of noise would be unbearable.
6. That depends on the number of students. To have almost 50 students in a class, it is almost impossible to control them. They would end up opening facebook, twitter and many more on their computers rather than learning through courseware on their computer. Unless if it is in a form of a video game
7. My expectation? Creating a courseware, which provides the best learning experience for students. Rather than having a boring courseware, I want to create something less formal and more interactive. Something that will make the students feel entertained at the same time.
8. My topic for AE is 'The Effects of Graphic Novels in the Teaching of English'. Why? Because I think that learning through graphic novels has its pro and cons when compared to traditional text. As someone who learnt literature using traditional text, I feel that the new generation would miss a lot of things if they were taught using graphic novels. The structure and pattern of the sentence, the picture which we imagine ourselves using the description in the text, and the joy of reading the emotions just from words, not pictures, are not present in the graphic novels. Of course, there are also pros in using the graphic novel, but I prefer the traditional text better. My supervisor is Madam Norsiah and I plan to finish my AE by having frequents visits to my supervisor. Which I haven't done yet right now. Ok
