3 Best Apps I would choose


1. Type while walking LITE
2. Flashlight for Free
3. Facebook

I would choose to have a "Type while walking LITE" for many reasons. First, it is free. Most of these kind of apps, which help people save time and be more comfortable, are have to be paid. But this app is free and useful so I would choose this app.

I would choose to have a "Flashlight for Free" for some reasons. As I like apps that are free, I chose this apps because it is free. I personally think that some of the free apps are better than paid apps. Also, this app can be really useful because flashlight is used a lot. It has many colors of flashlight in it as well. So the person who has this app can use many colors of flashlight at night.

I would choose to have a "Facebook" for 2 reasons. This is also a free app, and this can be really useful. It can make you connect with other people around the world and you can have chat with them. Also, many people in the world do facebook and it is really world-wide. You can send e-mails, put pictures and videos and play some of the games as well. I think this app is really nice and cool.

What kind of app would I make for ISKL?

If I can, I want to try to make an app that helps student find a class. I want to name that app as "Class Finder ISKL Ampang Campus" and if ISKL students think that this is really useful and helpful to them, I also want to make an app for Melawati Campus. When students first come to ISKL, they sometimes get lost in the middle of the hallway looking for their classes. Even I was lost and almost got tardy for my first math class because I was lost near the library. I wish I can make this app.

Comments for the i-movies

Gloria :
First, I loved your i-movie except for the pictures getting chopped up. Your xtranormal was really nice because your characters had many gestures that was really funny. But after that, your slides were all cut off. I couldn't even understand although there were pictures for each slides. I think you will have to adjust the size of the movie or else you will not be able to get a good grade. Also, I don't know why but your pictures and even your slides were a bit fuzzy. So I am suggesting you to put more information to your movie that the length of the movie can be near 3 minutes and adjust the size of the movie, and to make your slides and pictures clearer.

Diksha :
Your whole movie would be perfect if you can adjust the size of the movie. Because of the blogger, your i-movie is getting cut and I couldn't even understand your movie. Your slides were also cut so I couldn't see what you wrote for each reasons. Anyway, small things like music, background and others were really nice. So what you only have to do is to adjust the size of the movie from the embed code.

Claire:
I think that your i-movie is perfect. But, the sentences in the slides were hard to see because the size of the movie might be too small or the size of the letters are too small. I loved your xtranormal because of the gestures that you had put to the characters. It would be a lot better if you make some slides longer because some of the slides have a lot of information in it. Also, you can delete the part where the xtranormal thing comes up.

Script for my multi-media presentation

Hi everyone! My name is John and I am a world-wide technologist. I am here for you to explain to you, why the technology should be used in the classroom. These days, we can realize that our life is comfortable after a lot of new and smart machines were invented. Therefore, some schools are using technology in their classrooms. Now, I would like to talk about 10 reasons why the technology should be used in the classroom. As you are listening to it, you will really get to realize how easy and comfortable to use technology in the classroom.

First, the technology will save your time and space. Technology can be used in anywhere and anytime. You don’t need to do the works on your own. Technology doesn’t need much space. All of the machines are really fast. Technology is easy to be controlled.

Second, the technology helps students to understand better. By using technology, you can know a lot of things. You can gather up a lot of information from the Internet. You can also understand easier because using technology is still better than listening to teacher’s complicated explanations.

Third, if you use technology, it will be more comfortable for the students and teachers. Even there is no teacher, you can have answer from the Internet. Teachers can give assignments to the students that can be done with technology. Teachers will not be concerned about students not focusing or talking too much because using technology is really fun and fascinating for the students, which make them more focused.

Fourth, if you use technology, you can talk to other people even they are not in the same place. E-mails, cell phone, chatting system and other technology can make you able to talk to other people in the world. There is a technology, which allows you to meet face-to-face by using screens.

Fifth, in future, the world is going to be controlled by technology because people will try to invent new items. Even now, people are trying to figure out how to invent better items. It is really going to be really easy to have more comfortable life, using technology in future. Later, there are a lot of cool technologies and it will be better to learn about technology before.

Sixth, for the students, who don’t like studying a lot, they will be able to have fun in classroom using technology. Students get don’t stressed because they don’t need to do it their own and it is really easy to control technology. Class can use variety of technologies to help their class and that might be fascinated for the students and teachers

Seventh, the technology should be used in the classroom because there will be some students who are at better level of studying then others. And when you use the technology, the class won’t have to be slowed down just because of the students who don’t get the things quick enough and using technology will help them catch up because they also get to have some extra time when they are at home.

Eighth, another good thing about using technology is about weight. The weight of the textbook and other extra files can be over 25lb easily, but if you use something like a laptop, it weighs only about 5lb so it will be easier to carry for the students. Textbooks and other books, only have limited amount of information inside, but technology will allow the students to gather up a lot more information than textbooks. Also, the students won’t have to have a backache everyday, holding their textbooks and other things.

Ninth. For students, they need to write, read, communicate, organize and schedule. SO it means they need the similar tool as the other knowledge workers. Even though they don’t use it at home which will make their own lives more comfortable.

Last. For one thick textbook, it usually costs about or above 120 dollars and the students will need to buy about 3 textbooks, which will cost them 360 dollars in total. But for laptop, the cheap one could cost even 350 dollars in 2007. 1This means that buy0ing a laptop than a textbook is much more easier and comfortable for students to afford. And if students buy a laptop, they can even download some textbooks sometimes without using money. This shows that that technology for the students is really important to them.

Feedback For The Environmental PowerPoints

Claire & Megan

I think your powerpoint was great. You wrote a lot of explanations about each person. But sometimes, the description was chopped up because of the size. But beside, it was really good.

Diksha & Gloria

Your powerpoint was really good because there were a lot of informations and small details that is important to each person. There weren't any mistakes so I think it was really nice.

Favorite movie trailers

I think this movie trailer doesn't have any tension in it, but it still had put some highlights of the movie and also some of funny parts of the movie because this movie is supposed to be quite funny.

The length of the shots were different. When it is the boring part, the shots were longer than the highlights. The highlights were shorter probably to make viewers become curious about the movie and make them watch the movie.

I think that putting the highlights and the boring part in the movie trailer effects the movie trailer by making the movie longer by putting boring parts and making it interesting by putting highlights of the movie.

I think this movie trailer doesn't have any tension it it, just like a trailer above, and it also had put some highlights of the movie and some of funny parts. The type of movie is humor, so the movie trailer had funny parts. It barely showed highlights and I think it was because the movie trailer producer wanted the viewers to be really curious to watch the movie. I think the shots in the movie were getting shorter as it went, same as the one that I watched to count how many shot effects there were. (Night at the Museum 2: Battle of Smithsonian)

I think this movie trailer has many shots that are different length. The highlight of the movie trailer was in the middle of it, and each shots were short. But other shots were pretty much the same length . I think this movie trailer is really effective to the viewers who is curious about this movie and for them to watch it.

Reflection

Are all the shots the same length? What is the effect of this?

No, the shots from the movie trailer were not the same length. As the movie trailer went, the shots got shorter and shorter, and I think it was to create tension. If the shots are the same length, the viewers will not have any interests in the movie but as the movie trailer made viwers tense, and show not too much about the movie, it will make the viewers become curious what is going to happen.

Extra 3 New panels

Plan how I am going to make my 3 new panels

I think I will have to connect the panels because for the readers, it might not make sense for them if I leave it this way unconnected. Also, as the most of commenters said, I will have to put the characters a bit closer to the screen in the 3 new panels.

Feedback for Claire's Bitstrips

I think your characters were really creative and cute. You also put cute facial expressions to the characters to show the feelings to the readers. There were no spelling or grammar mistakes. I think your Bitstrips is perfect!

Feedback for Brock's Bitstrips

I think your characters were cute and the story was good, but there were a lot of spelling mistakes. In the first panel, you said 'were' instead of 'where', you put 'your' but it was supposed to be 'you're. Also in 4th panel, you said 'were' instead of 'where' again, and you put 'lets' but it was supposed to be 'let's'. But anyway I think the characters were really creative.

After coming to ISKL, I am finally having a chance to learn about the computers. Although I had an IT for the after-school activity, I really didn't learn much about the MacBook. As it is a lot more different from the computer that I use in home, it made me hard to get used to it. My tech skills are pretty much lower than the other students, and I think it is because I get confused easier than others. When I was in Elementary school, I was always angry with the computer because I was the only one who didn't really know about the MacBook. I think I am lucky to be in IT, because I always wanted to be in IT . By this chance of being involved in IT, I guess I will try my best to learn as many tech skills as I can.

The first picture shows that I like to The second picture shows that I an emergic and

learn with the computer and I love being in IT. learn enthusiatically.

The third picture shows that I like to collaborate when I work.
