My Reflection on ICT



During my entire DE course, lesson on  ICT has been very effective and helpful to me. It has taught me many lessons that are needed during my current profession. For example:
*      on line survey using Google docs
*      saving personal documents in the Google drive
*       finding relevant information using advanced web search skills,
*      creating blogs and wikis which helped me to share my written articles that can be edited and pass comment by many friends,
*      using camtasia soft ware
*      creating a quiz with Wonder share creator,
*      ms word activities

1.      On line survey using google docs
-         during my RS in the College, I have learnt to create varieties of questions for the survey which will definitely help me and for my friends in doing survey work in the future.

2.      Saving personal documents in the google drive
-         choosing ICT as my optional course was not mistaken rather it was a fortunate to me since being in the course, I could learnt to save my necessary document in the Google drive that can remain till I want it and can be documented from it any time and everywhere.

3.      Finding relevant information using advanced web search skills
-         I have learnt to use advanced web search skills that I can use while preparing my lesson to my future students. With the help of these skills I can always make my teaching interesting and effective to my students. Therefore, I salute my tutor for providing such extra information and including ICT module in the DE course.
 
4.      Creating blogs and wikis which helped me to share my written articles that can be edited and pass comment by many friends,
-         earlier I was not knowing such type of facilities and with the help of this course I could learnt to create and use it to post my article to friends and do necessary editing and comment on my articles. This skill will definitely help my students and me to write articles in the future and do necessary work using friends.

5.      Using camtasia soft ware
-         during my DE 1st year course I have learnt to this soft ware but due to busy schedule I made to forgot the procedure but it was a blessing that an assignment using Camtasia was given to us which we recollect and design video tutorial which was interesting and helpful.

6.      Ms word activities
-         initially I thought I am perfect to use MS word,  inserting necessary shapes, photos, etc but while doing MS assignment, it was interesting and some of them was complicated which I have not done before. Therefore, I give my learning credit to my tutor for assigning such assignment. 

7.      Creating a quiz with Wonder share creator
-         Firstly I have learnt to download free soft ware and made that there are software that will expire its date. It was a interesting assignment that I can use every year to conduct quiz competition among the houses and classes. To be frank, my friends also enjoyed making class quiz for their classes. It is a soft ware that we can insert and use varieties of clips, videos, songs, and other interesting items that can make the quiz more interesting and enjoyable.
Finally I thank my tutor that, the assignment and information provided to us was healthy and informative with lots of practical exercises that can remain forever in use in near future. It not only helped me but benefited my students and friends too. So, I thank and Salute you, Sir for initiating and providing interesting assignments to enhance our learning.
                                                      Thank you

                                                         Using Camtasia Studio 6
Camtasia Studio 6 is a soft ware that we can use for producing video tutorial and it is use for 
 merging different clips and design as one clip. The same work was done with our group  combining different clips. The very same was done during FIT Module course in DE program.
This made me more confidence in using Camtasia. Actually we say " United we stand, divided we fall", but producing video tutorial was bit difficult since, our group members were from different Dzongkhags( Paro, Chhukha and Bumthang) and downloading video clips were again more difficult due to internet facilities. Still then, "where is a way, there is a will," and nothing is impossible.

It does not accept all the clips, therefore we need to first convert to its version and then import to it. Here we can add transition, captions and many other varieties to produce more beautiful tutorial clips.

                                                          Wonder share quiz 
             It is an interesting soft ware that teacher can use in the school while conducting quiz. Apart from that I have also learn to down load its soft ware and this same idea I can use to download other soft ware. This version helps to think about different types of question while setting questions. For instance we have think about the variation of questions such as:
                                          1. Multiple Choice
                                          2. Fill in the blank
                                          3.Multiple Response
                                          4. Matching
                                          5. Sequencing
                                          6. Blank page
                                          7. Map  etc...
In the process of making quiz, there are certain things that we have to do like
  1. changing marks,
  2. changing themes
  3. changing profile etc. This assignment made us busy finding more questions ,relevant videos and speech.
