12th Week : Technology adds excitement to a simple story book !!!

This is how the equation goes:

Technology (Photo editing + Audio Editing + Power point ) + Simple story = e-Book.

We were taught on how to produce an e-Book. Basically an e-book is called as an e-book because it is controlled by electronic device such as computer and it is designed in a way that integrates some other elements rather than mere words. Those elements are sounds such as songs, animation, Gif images which can move, etc. An e-Book is a good resource to encourage primary school pupils to read. Reading, as we know, used to be said boring and tough by children will be easier and as they are motivated by the additional criteria offered by e-Book. 

This is a pair work and I'm working with Mahalingam and our story is Four Blind Men and An Elephant.

Puan Foziah informed us about all these features. There must be:

1) a theme to the story.
2) setting (time and place)
3) plot that shows the conflict, climax and resolution
4) characterization
5) navigational tools to make sure the slides can work properly (can go to next slide and previous slide)
6) pictures must be clear cut and colourful, no different shades or shadows.
7) sound to accompany the e-book reading.

 

All in all, it was a very good experience as we learn a lot to use technology at its maximum to enhance teaching and learning. TECHNOLOGICAL resources such as e-Book will certainly made life as a busy teacher easier and cool.
