WEEK4 - Podcast

-

Hello! Hello! 🙋 I’m back with another update of what I have learned this week. Podcast? What is it? I bet everyone knows podcast. So, the term podcast came from iPod (Apple portable MP3 player) and broadcasting. It is an episodic series of audio or video files that allow the user to listen or download the podcast that interests them. The user can listen to existing podcast or create their own. Fyi, YouTube, iTunes, SoundCloud, and etc. are the example of podcast medium.

As for this week lecture, Madam Azida introduced us to a new website which is http://podbay.fm/. Podbay.fm is one of the podcast medium where users can easily access the podcast that they wanted to listen without the need to visit multiple websites. I chose to listen to The 10 Minute Teacher Podcast by Vicki Davis under the categories of education. There were tons of episodes had been updated and “5 Ways to Battle Burnout” caught my eyes.

         The podcast started with the sound of bell ringing which suits the topic about teachers. The topic discussed was about ways a teacher could do in order to prevent mental and physical collapse due to overwork or stress. First of all, disconnect yourself from the world. Put away your phone so that you can relax and relieve stress. As we all know social media are very addictive, so limit yourself. Secondly, have a positive mindset. Make sure you are comforting people around you and vice versa by spreading positivity. Thirdly, find a thing that really fit your soul so that it will keep you engage with your life and stay motivated even when you are exhausted. Next, you have to balance yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Organize time wisely by sorting out everything to keep yourself on track. Lastly, establish relationship with other people well.

To conclude, the points were stated clearly and well-organized which the listener could easily grasp on. The host, Vicki Davis, did a really good hosting where she engaged well with the guest by having two-way communication. In addition, this podcast encouraged people especially the teachers to keep on learning and striving in order to do better for students. Plus, it took about 10 minutes which I found very ideal for me since I don’t really like to listen to a lengthy podcast. If you are interested to listen to this podcast, here's the link http://podbay.fm/show/1201263130/e/1550217600?autostart=1. 

Till the next post! Bye 💛

Hi peeps! I guess I look like a zombie now. I got a lot of assignments to be submitted :’) but never mind, I won’t forget to update my blog! This week, I learned another new thing which is E-learning ! E-learning is actually lessons that are conducted by using electronic media, typically on the internet. Apart from that, Madam Azida had introduced courseware that can be used to create e-learning course and it is called as Smart Builder . What is it? Okay, so Smart Builder is an e-learning authoring tool that is used to create an e-learning with scenarios, gamification, assessments, branching, and more. Sounds interesting, right? But I am struggling here with all the buttons that I need to click in order to produce my own e-learning courseware. However, I feel blessed that my lecturer is here to guide me from A to Z in using this software.

WEEK10 - INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Hello there! 🙋As for this week, I want to share about a new topic that I just learned which is Instructional Design . Instructional design is a systematic process of creating instructional materials, modules, or lessons. It is the combination of education, psychology, and communication in order to create effective teaching plans for students. The process of instructional design carefully considers the students’ needs so that they will be able to achieve their academic goals. From my point of view, instructional design is cost effective as it creates high-quality learning materials by considering the strengths and weaknesses of the students as it sets the stage for a successful learning experience. Above all, the main benefit that I could see from instructional design is that it encourages the participation of learners. Nowadays, living in the world with the advancement of technology, students are more interested with the use of technology. Thus, teacher-centred learning someh...
