Ethics and Standard

Hi guys! Welcome to my 5th Blog!


Today we have learned so many things specifically on Ethics. Our professor reminded us that we must always keep in mind all of our actions before doing so.

Can I be more specific? For example in taking pictures, if your model is a person, you should ask permission to the person that he/she will be the subject of our photo. By the way our professor made a talk in guidelines and procedures in taking photo "all about photography" in our arts subject.

Another ethics that we should always imbibe with us is the natural laws (respect, courtesy, good moral, and right conduct). We should always bear in the other persons involved in our doings.

Why our professor saying these? Because our professor wanted us to learned immediately. Our professor wanted us as much as possible to bear this norms on our daily lives so that we will not experienced learning the "hardcore way." Hardcore way is you learned new things through trying to do the wrong thing to discover what will happen next. And it is not the thing that you wanna experienced.

Our professor also taught us to read, read and read. And as early as possible to be prepared with the Licensure examination for teachers. Again why read? our professor explained that as much as possible we read a lot because we never know what will be the questions that will be asked during the said exam. Our professor here is convincing us to secure our future, every meeting we learned new things, not only technical but also in moral aspects and decisions in life.

Moving on. Our professor also tackled about the ISO. She discussed what are the processes and the standards. She even explained that before "standard was only made for military purpose." As  the world attain peace Standardization was offered commercially almost globally, to simply what? To prevent chaos.

If you will think of it, there is no standard sizes of the things you buys, no exact volumes/weight of the food that you eat, everything will be tagged as "non-standard" and most likely will be out of the context because most of the countries nowadays is attaining to be ISO certified.

In TUP-T there is Quality Management System that is running to Plan > Do > Check > Act.  It would be difficult to explain but I wanted you to know that this QMS helps the university to be accredited and also for the process improvement of the said university.

Thanks to our professor who shared the basic process of Quality Management System in TUP to us her students.

Thanks for reading my blog guys. See yah on my 6th blog!

Educational Music Video using Powerpoint (Lyrics Song with bouncing ball)

Hi guys, welcome to my 4th Blog!

I'd like to share with you guys the fun that we felt thiss meeting, games are exciting. i know we are not a kid anymore but oh yeah this meeting gave us memory of being a child.

Why I am saying this? Primarily because we will do this games on our future students. This would create positive outlook of education, that learning must be fun and enjoyable.

This meeting we have executed our assigned report on our group which is an educational music video
material using powerpoint. But this is not easy as you think, because we are commanded to do it differently the way we do it before.

The twist is we will choose a song and we will change the lyrics by an instructional lyrics and then we will made a lyric video presentation with a "ball that is bouncing," to guide the students to sing along with. Interesting isn't it?

Me and my group mates agreed that we will choose chemical elements as a subject. And we sing along with the class, funny but it is true.

And I know you're interested also how to make one. No worries I'll share with you guys the video.

 All you need is a computer, lyrics, mp3 song.

Watch the video below made by Michael Peters "How to use Powerpoint to create "read-a-long" style animations to use with your class"

After watching the video you'll see that it is so easy to learn. First you got to prepare your own choice of song, second make an educational lyrics that your student will learn and remember, third apply it on the powerpoint presentation (add the text, insert ball, add animation effect and edit the timings).

This is one of the new things that we have learned while the other groups in the class presented: Educational Boardgame, Photo flash, Memory game (cards), and Picture Reveal. Most of the othr groups required us to participate in the games, and mind you it brought us so much fun.

I'm looking forward to use this instructional materials to my future students. Gracias  to my professor who is guiding us and leading us to explore more the technology that we currently have right now.

Well, that's all for today guys. I hoped you learned new things today on my 4th blog. See yah on my 5th Blog!

Black-out Poetry

Hi guys!

Welcome to my third blog :D

This day we made an activity wherein our professor divided the group into two groups. The first group will be given a magazine which they will cut the images of a person to be used in making comics. The activity was called "speech bubble story."

 The second group will be given a news article wherein they will use the words written on the newspaper to create a poem. This activity called "Black-out-poetry."

I belonged to the Second group. On my own perspective creating a poem is a little bit harder than the first group. But I took the challenge because it is very rare that I make poems.

It took me almost 3 hours to finish the activity, not fast because I am not really creative in writing but I can, so I stretched myself and give it  a try.

And this was the result.  I hope appreciate your time to read the poem I made :D

Women = sex(cross out the word "sex") Dignity and Power

Women = sex

Equation of powerful men

Unaware of his off-color jokes

Left scars who hear his jokes

Why would he change his ways?

When women continue to laugh at his ways?

Women seems to be unaware

Women = power is his nightmare

Women don't know if it's just a pose

Or maybe that's his game to expose

Until we become inured to insults

End up accepting hiss posts

How pathetic to sale pitch

Women's bodies used on his pitch

Continually be shamed from his gaffe

Not keeping their peace and accepting his gaffe

Men cannot stand women who ooze power

Men cannot represent women the latest example

Alongside men, women have fought

Domestic and Foreign Tyranny have been toppled

Every women from all walks have power

Men cannot deny us these power

Men have taken down from his abusive behavior

Hence, Women = Sex (crossed out) Dignity and Power.

                                                                -----------------


By the way the 1st picture below is the news article that I've got from my professor. The "before."

This next picture below is the "after." Yuu will notice that we crossed out with a black marker the words that we did not use

Finally the picture of the written poem that I've made written in a piece of white bond paper. See the picture below:

There you have it guys. Thank's for reading my blog! See yah on my 4th Blog!

Being a teacher

Hi everyone!

Welcome to my 2nd blog in Edtech 2 😀

The meeting that we had from our professor was memorable.
Why?
Because she gave us tips how to become a good teacher.

Our professor advice us in taking board examination. She said "Think of it as if you will top the exam." A powerful message from her, difficult but it is true, if your dreams are higher you will pursue it high also meaning you will give much effort to attain it. She further explained the meaning of it that if ever you did not reach the top atleast you pass, she tough us not to think that we will pass only, she commanded us to think that we will top the exam.
We should also consider the review center that we will go to study with (specifucally check the percentage of passers)

Another advice from her is that when we become a teacher never ever put business in a class as it will  affect the main purpose of the student which is to study "not to buy your product or whichever business that you have taht involves exchanging of goods or service for money."

When we become a teacher we should always do this cycle that she have thought us which is "PLAN > IMPLEMENTATION > EVALUATION." In planning section it compose of having syllabus, lesson plan, ehile in implementation it must showcase classroom management principles of teaching, and instructional materials, and last in evaluation composes of examinations, quizzes/test.

We are also ask by our professor by "Where we will teach, Grade school or Senior High School?"

Another tip by our professor, she remind us to add spices the way we conduct our lesson (meaning we must add, fun, challenge, a litte bit technology that will enticed students during lesson).

From her advices we learned a lot from the meeting, we envisioned ourselves to become a good teacher, educator someday.

Going back on her class discussion about online teaching she advisenod to create online acct to be a teacher and to be a student to other members of the group. By the way our group is Contemporary arts, we are 5 members in the group, meaning all of us will create an edmodo account to be a teacher then the other members will join as a student. All in all, all of the members will experience to become a teacher on an online class and will upload 3 lessons, will give 3 quizzes (10 items each), 1 unit test (25 items) and 1 Final Exam (50 items). Since we are 5 members in the group, we will have a total of 4 subjects as a student.

Another great challenge to us her students to practice our teaching using the technology "edmodo." She also shared the technology that they have used before which is the "balabolka," wherein you just only need to type the words and enter it to the app and the app will read it for you. The balabolka is an app which is the main objective is "text to speech."

Our profesor again remind us to read and read as this is the main skill that a teacher must have.

Lastly she reminded us that we will know on ourselves if we are ready for the examination, if not take more time to be ready.

See the image below? It says "I will absolutely TOP the Board Exam."



There you have it guys, I hope it also inspire you to aim high! See you on my third blog!

Edtech 2

Hi everyone!

As I promised. You guys will be with me for the next term.

So I welcome you to the continuation of my blog for Educational Technology. Hooray!

Another journey for us. I hope everything will be accomplished greatly.

And now I am announcing my blogs for  Edtech 2 is now officially open. Hoping you guys will enjoy reading.

So let's start!

First stop. I'd like to share to you guys what happened to our first meeting.

Our professor, Mrs. Olivar evaluated us on our submmitted blogs last year. She gave some tips to all of our blogs. The most important tip that I remembered is...

Our blog should have at least have a touch of the topics that was being discussed every meeting, not too much personal.

She also added that we need to know the feeling of the readers on our blog, in short the blog should be concise, clear and somehow interesting to read.

Second stop. She discussed the major activities that we will be doing for this term. One of the activities that we need to start with is having an online class.

Like really?

It feels like we are applying what we have learned about MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)

On the online class we need to create an account that has an assigned teacher and students.

The groupings last year is still the same. The online class should have a subject, we have picked ARTS as our subject. The online class should have one teacher and the other members will act as a student, our professor should also be included to the online class and she will act also as a student.

The said online class should have attendance monitoring, 3 lessons, 3 quizzes (10 pts each quiz), 1 unit test (25 pts) and 1 term test (50pts). All of these should have time limits for the students to submit all their answers. These will be graded on the website.

Amazing isn't? we are going digital! Another challenge for us, future teachers.

Lastly before our class ended, our professor gave as another opportunity to do greenscren film. Another project to make 🙌

Me and my groupmates the "Investigative team" were challenged because we have less exposure on green screen. So we need to maximize the use of green screen on our next film!

Well we say "Challenge accepted!"

So that's it for today guys.
And of course I wont be leaving you hanging without any inspirational quotes to ponder.

I want to share these beautiful quote from George S. Patton "Accept challenges so that you will feel the exhilaration of Victory."

For me, without any challenges you will not feel any improvement, life will be boring. Challenges makes our lives beautiful.

Thankyou for reading. See you guys on my next blog ❤

Edtech1 - Filmora (Investigative Team)

Ohayo!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my 12th blog!

I am very please to inform you that our video presentation was finally uploaded!

It was a great pleasure to be part of Investigative group in Educational technology 1.

I am very grateful to God for having these people to be with: My group mates namely Ms. Gecelene Estorico, Ms. Mary Rose Gabrielle Habla, Ms. Antonette Mendoza, Mr. Terquin Dave Godinez, Mr. Joward Bendijo and Mr. Anthony Cyrus Extra to their wonderful talents and efforts to make this video presentation possible! And of course to our dear professor Mrs. Angelica Olivar.

I have nothing to say! I am very honored and speechless as I have watched the video. You won't believe me but honestly though the video presentation has a tragic theme I was smiling at the beginning until the end. Why? Because primarily I really enjoyed watching the video, it really showed our efforts and this will be in my heart forever. Maybe you're thinking the reason why I am saying these because I am part of the investigative group, but no. The real purpose is because I am very proud to be a part of this astonishing video presentation project of our team. And of course we cannot do this alone without the guidance of our dear professor Mrs. Angelica Olivar. Me and my group mates wanted to express high gratitude to her shared talent and skills though the entire term.

I know you guys are excited and cannot wait to watch our video presentation! There you go and click the video or link below:

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to you guys that you've been with me for this term reading through my blogs and  I'm sorry to inform you that this was my last blog for this term, but don't you worry we will still be seeing each other again next year! Why? it is because we do have Educational technology 2. Exciting isn't? Well, me too!

As a practice I won't be leaving you hanging without any inspirational thought, read through and I am looking forward that you will be inspired to: 

"Look for the best in people to build a fantastic team," by Richard Branson

That's what I have learned working with my group mates, they were very talented persons, very fun and responsible to be with, we must always acknowledge and appreciate each others efforts and talents. By these our team will be fantastic indeed!

Wishing you a very prosperous Happy New Year! Sayonara!  See you next year guys!

Lovelots,

Shooting

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my 11th blog!

This day was very memorable for us the Investigative team, dated December 9, 2017. It is our official filming day !😀

Why is that I am so happy to post a blog about this?
Primarily because this is my first time to have this kind of activity in my entire life!

Like seriously? Yes it is! And it was so cool, it feels like you have reach your goals. It was very fulfilling. Why fulfilling Aveleth? Well, it was my first time to shoot in a green screen, capturing scenes, acting in front of a camera, it feels like your an actress doing a project.
Normally you will only see it on T.V. shows and now I am very proud to say that I can also do it. Dream come true isn't?
I don't know maybe your thinking i'm a too shallow person, but no. For me it was a great achievement! I have never experienced it in my 22 years of existence here on earth. Too much exaggeration if you would say.

"Great things comes with great responsibility." What I am trying to convey is that I really do appreciate this kind of activity that was given to us by our professor in Educational Technology 1 (EdTech1), not only for the fulfillment of the academic requirements, but as you know you will get along with your classmates setting goals, having a teamwork and of course building network. It is somehow a preparation for us in the future to be more sociable with our future colleagues and students with inclination to modern educational technology.
All in all this subject made me feel like learning is fun! Full of challenges and success!

I am really grateful and feel honored to be part in Prof. A. Olivar's class.

Moving forward here are some pictures that was taken during our Filming:

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Picture 4

Picture 1 and 2 was taken while we are filming our scenes in a classroom setting. Picture 3 was taken while we are doing our green screen. Picture 4 was taken to give credits to our camera man and director.

So that was it, it was a bit hard at first because we are not that comfortable acting infront of the camera, but we have successfully did our part. And I am thankful to my groupmates who are willing to show off their talents and creativity during the activity.

And there you have it guys, that was a glimpse of our film. On my 12th blog I will be including our final video clip for the Investigative group in EdTech1. 

Of course I'm not gonna end this blog without any inspirational thouhgts to ponder, here it is: "Great things never came from comfort zones." 

Truly with the help of this subject I know we came out from our comfort zones. Thanks a lot for reading, see you on my 12th Blog!
