Assignment 7a (Open Office Impress) & 7b (Windows Movie Maker)

Assalammualaikum W.B.T

       Two weeks before our final examination, we still combat on a few assignments for this subject. Luckily, the task assigned for this week not so tough. Like before, we were assigned with two different assignments which are assignment 7(a) and assignment 7 (b).  Those particular assignments must be done in a frame time given based on the previous topic which is ours, Open Source Software (OSS).

        In assignment 7(a), we were required to come out with powerpoint slides by using Open Office Impress. The slide must be talked about the content in the previous Mini Research Project. Working with Open Office Impress was a challenging for us as we used to apply Microsoft Power Point for preparing out slide before. There was a slight different between them though both have been using as office suite tools. However, I found this chance as a great point for me in experiencing new skill and gaining a profound knowledge about ICT’s usage and its variety. After I tried using Open Office Impress, I realized that it will make you patiently works on your task. It has no wrong to explore something new in your learning process and perhaps it will be benefit us in future.  The more knowledge you have, the easier for you to answer any possible questions come you’re your community.

       For assignment 7(b), we were asked to produce our own commercial videos about the selected topic which is still on Open Source Software (OSS) by using Windows Movie Maker. I had used this software before for my assignment and entertainment. Thus, there was not so difficult for me to complete this task. We can add in or insert any pictures, videos and audios to make the video more interesting and interactive. For the audio thingy, we were exposed to the software namely as Audacity. It was new for me but I did not see it as problematic matter and it was easy to handle. Through this software, the user were allowed to edit theirs favourite songs either cut it, combining more than one song, changes the rhyme and so on. Finally, the edited audio must be imported to our Movie Maker. The combination of audio and video made our learning more meaningful and convenient. 

       Perhaps, all those things that I have learnt for this week will bring me a tonnes of benefit in future. As a future educator, we must have a wide knowledge about the ICT which could be used in the next day where the world’s technology growing rapidly in educational field especially.
