I'm here to wish all my dearest classmates who are going to sit for the semester's final examination all the best and may score the examination with flying colours. Good Luck and hopefully we still have the opportunity to share respective opinions as well as communicate with each other using English. Lastly, I also seek for apologizes if I did any mistakes or offences during the fourteen weeks. Keep in touch, and remember to "VOTE"!

Learning Experience In Making "Time Management" Digital Story Telling.

     We gained so many learning experience while doing our DST. This experience includes the aspect on language, teamwork, soft skills, technology, research skills, creativity and innovation. 

     In language, our group found a lot of new and useful vocabulary while doing our research. We also learn how to pronounce words according to the correct pronunciation.

     Teamwork is the most important essence in making our digital story. We learn to cooperate with each other and if any problem arise we tend to solve it together. Besides that, we learn how to communicate with other people, the right and correct etiquette to ask people to be our respondent. 

     We also had been exposed to the use of technology in making out DST. We had learn to use camera in shooting video precisely and accurately. We learn how to use video making software and audio editing software in editing and composing our DST.

     In finding information, researching skill is really necessary. We learned how to distinguish the important information from the raw information we get from the internet or books. We also learned how to find the right source of information.

     Lastly,creativity and innovation. We also tend to be creative and think outside the box. Instead of using pictures, we use video as part of our DST. Although it consume a lot of effort and hard work, we actually having so much fun in doing it.

That all of our learning experience and thank you for watching our DST.

our learning experiences

Description of learning experiences on the making of digital story

 When we were first assigned to produce a digital story, we decided to make one on various traditional dances in Malaysia. But, we were having a hard time in doing so because it will consume a lot of time and the digital story will also lose its main focus. Finally, we decided to do a digital story on traditional malay dances. 

Objectives of our digital story :

1) To educate people on various types and varieties of malay dances from different states in Malaysia

2) To preserve our malay culture by sharing information regarding malay traditional dances among the young 

     generation

3) To emphasize on the usage and importance of malay traditional dance in todays world

4) Present the colours and varieties in malay traditional dances

What we gained from the making of the digital story?

1) We got to improve our IT skills by using the computer. Handling Windows Life Movie Maker for the first     was an eye opening experience for us as we were new with the software. Finally, we learned to use it to produce digital story by trial and error. Learning to use to software would definitely benefit us in our future projects. We also learnt to use the sound recorder and cutting songs. 

2) We also learnt a lot regarding traditional malay dances in our movie making process. Our researching skills also improved by doing this digital story.

3) In terms on the language, the making of digital story improved our vocabulary as well as pronouncing the words correctly for the narration part. We get to learn the correct way to use and apply grammar.

4) Our team work also improved in the process of making the digital story. We get to tolerate and listen to others ideas as well as share ours with them. In a way, we got to know each other better and work well together.

5) Our confidence level improved and increased our soft skills especially in doing projects related to Information Technology.
