This week our Instructor gave us a task that we must do a Play and Pause video featuring or introducing ourselves, i am excited for this activity because i always saw these kind of videos in my social media accounts and it get me curious about on how do i do it.
The aim of this activity is for maximize or explore what are the capabilities of our smartphone have because nowadays teenagers or adult use it often. I started downloading numerous video editor however i ended up using vivavideo it is useful application if youre going to edit and design or make a awesome videoslide. After preparing my smartphone by downloading a dope application i start cutting clippings as my tool throughout my video. The hardest part of making a play pause video is so much paper cuts everywhere and it is kinda messy.
Im using mono-pad as my companion in my video however when i was started capturing photos UNFORTUNATELY my iphone spread its wings and fly its way down (in the hard floor) that is why my iphone is shattered in pieces (kidding) only at the back. However despite worrying about the shattered iphone, the show must go on so i continue making my video. Ps. Every mistake is a lesson that is why my iphone now have a cover, hiding the shattering part of it.
Doing the video is so much fun for me even though its kinda make you put so much effort but then the output or the finish product is so much worth it. 30 seconds to 2 mins is the time duration given us by our instructor but mine is only 39 SECONDS ( i am the shortest video in our class). Now lets see my video, i am proud of this :).

At first Powerpoint is the only tool i used in creating a presentation but lately i have been introduced to Prezi. Prezi gives more exciting and new templates that a person wanted to see. However, Prezi have some limitations i mean the effects or effect is only fade away nothing more nothing less and then i found a new application that can also used in making a presentation called PowToon.
PowToon is Web-based animation software that allows you to quickly and easily create animated presentations with your students by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user created voice-overs. PowToon is used by businesses to create engaging, creative presentations that capture attention, and can be similarly used for educational assessment and content delivery. There is a free version available, as well as paid subscription that allows for more features.
When i was introduced to this application i felt excited because its new to me.
When i started creating my presentation in PowToon its kinda easy because there is a tutorial on how you will make the character enter at this time. I got a 2 day premium trial which means that i am allowed to used the templates or i am capable of using the premium power in powtoon. The only thing i dont like while im making the presentation is that my laptop is running slow so the whole time im patiently waiting for powtoon and the i succeed. i asked my friends if their laptop running slow while using powtoon the other one said yes while my other friend is perfectly doing fine using powtoons.
Here's some snapshot of how i created my presentation :
I find my powtoon time Enjoyable and Knowledgeable. I have the opportunity to experience this. The animation and the visuals of powtoon will help me as a future educator to educate my future students. i will use powtoon for exploring the capabilities or the imagination what they have and i know that they may find powtoon an interesting tool to play.
Until
the nineties, it was still possible to distinguish between instructional media
and the educational communication media.
Instructional media consist of
audio-visual aids that served to enhanced and enrich the teaching-learning
process. Examples are the blackboard, photo, film and video.
On the other hand, educational
communication media comprise the media of communication to audiences including
learners using the print, film, radio, and television or satellite means of
communication. For example, the distance learning was implemented using
correspondence, radio, television, or the computer satellite system.
Close to the turn of the 21st
century, however, such a distinction merged owing to the advent of the
microprocessor, also known as the personal computer (PC). This is due to the
fact that the PC user at home, office and school has before him/her a tool for
both audio-visual creations and media communication.
To illustrate, let’s examine the
programs (capabilities) normally installed in an ordinary modern PC.
Microsoft Office – program for
composing text, graphics, photos in letters, articles, reports, etc.
Power-point – for preparing lecture
presentations.
Excel – for spreadsheets and similar
graphic sheets.
Internet Explorer – Access to the
internet.
Yahoo or Google – Website, email, chat
rooms, Blog sites, news service (print/video) educational softwares etc.
Adobe Reader – Graphs/photo
composition and editing.
MSN – Mail/chat messaging.
Windows media player – CD, VCD player
and editing film/video.
Cyberlink Power – DVD player.
Gamehouse – Video games.
