Canva vs me

Hi, we meet again! 🙌
Today, i want to share with you about Canva. 

What is Canva? 😶

Basically, Canva is a free graphic-design tool website that was founded in 2012. Yeah, it's been 5years. Canva is very easy to use.


Here is the link to the website ➤ https://www.canva.com/ 👈
BUT! You need to sign in first in order to start your design. If you don't have an account yet, try and sign up for it. The best part of Canva is, it's FREEEEEEE! 😉😛


As you know, it has a drag-and-drop interface and provides access to over a million ready-made photographs, graphics, and fonts. And it is used by non-designers as well as professionals 😱.
Then, the tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics.

Canva is soooooooo simple and easy to use as I said before, where you can choose your customized designs. You can choose any size you want.

Thankyou!

POWTOON as educational tools

Hello there! 🙋
Its been a long time I didn't write anything aite?
So, basically today I'll talk about Powtoon.

What is PowToon?😅

👉 PowToon is the world's leading, most user-friendly and most intuitive animation software.

In simple way to define is a web-based animation that can allow you to create animated presentations or videos by controlling pre-created objects, import your own images, provide music and can also add your own voice-overs. It is so fun to learn!

In class, we learned how to make an educational video using Powtoon. It's also a group assignment assigned for everyone in my class. I'm grouped with 2 other friends of mine, Yahbuhi and Iffah. Alhamdulillah we manage to settle it.

Here is the layout of PowToon.

Using podcast and digital story telling for language learning

Hi there!

Today's entry is about podcast.

What is podcast, again?
The term ‘podcast’ comes from 'iPod' and ‘broadcast’ *combination*
Usually, it is in audio form, with the format of (.mp3).

Yeah, you can see that podcast gives you 2 options; whether you want to use it as revision for listening skills, OR!
You can create a podcast yourself to enhance your speaking skill. *C'mon okay be real. leuls!

How to start a podcast? It's very simple.
👉First, record your voice using a recording tool/your smartphone/online voice recorder.

👉Second, edit your recording using Audacity/TwistedWave/AudioTrimmer/Windows Movie Maker/any audio editor.
I used Audacity 😛

👉 Third, upload/post your podcast via YouTube, SoundCloud, iTunes or even your own blog!

Okay, thats all. Thank youuuuuu!

Computer Mediated Communication

Hello there! We meet again 👉👈

So, today I want to share a new topic; Computer Mediated Communication (CMC)

Do you have any idea what is Computer Mediated Communication (CMC)?

Basically, Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) is any form of communication or interaction between two or more people via separate computers through network connection.

In other hand, it also can be concluded as any communication patterns mediated through a computer.

• CMC IN EDUCATION

Started in the late 1980s and 1990s with the introduction of Communicative CALL and after that, became widespread with the use of Email and Forums.

Furthermore, Internet Chat Rooms in the mid 1990s allowed direct communications and is implemented for long-distance teaching/learning, because of that, recently increase in popularity of e-tutoring through forums and video conferencing.

• ASYNCHRONOUS CMC

Communication is not synchronized. 

So, messages are not exchanged and replied to immediately (or not expected to).

Eg: E-mails, most social media, internet forums and message boards, blogs.

• CMC AND LONG DISTANCE LEARNING

CMC was implemented for distance learning in the late 2000s and E-lectures also becoming popular.

Synchronous communications allows teacher and learner to interact without being in the same location.

Eg: Video conferencing and E-tutoring.

• COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, where computers can help enhance peer

interactions and group work.

Not only discussions, but also collaborative production of works and problem solving.

Eg: Google Doc, Google Drive, Blogs Messenger.

• AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION

Learners can easily access and communicate with other, as well as native

speakers.

Basically the context and material of communication is authentic rather than simulated.

Search Engine?

Hello! I'd learnt a new topic and wanna potpet potpet about that, hewhewhew¬

So, yeah! Can I ask you... What is search engine?

Listen people 👂

    search en·gine

ˈsərCH ˌenjən/

noun
a program that searches for and identifies items in a database that correspond to keywords or characters specified by the user, used especially for finding particular sites on the World Wide Web.

• A web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find information on websites contained in its database. 
• Search Engines like Google or Yahoo uses software that collects data from the Web to include in its database.

Fyi, each search engine has its own database.

There are Four Parts of a Search Engine:

1. Database - which is simply the storage of all the indexed webpages
2. Web crawlers/Spiders - It is an automatic program that 'crawls' collecting info that then stored in database.
3. User interface - A user-friendly app/site/page where users may input query and search results are presented.
4. IRS (Info Retrieval System) - match user's query with right results and presented according to relevance.

Okay, that's all from me. 

Thankyou people! 

Love, Atennn 💛

The Evolution of CALL

Haluuuuuu, yeah today I would like to write about the evolution of CALL.
What do you think about that? Is that related with Charles Darwin's theory about Human?
*of course not, come on Aten 👀*


Let me tell you what i have learned about the changes and transformation occur in the topic, CALL.

There are 3 types of progression of CALL which are;

1. Behaviouristic CALL 
2. Communicative CALL 
3. Intergrated CALL 

Let's begin with Behaviouristic CALL?


Did you know that it has been developed in 1960's based from behaviourist learning theory.
It is primary used for Audio-Lingual method. The Programmed Instruction involves repetitive drill and practice. Which is this type of progression of CALL, also can be labelled as the ultimate teacher's assistant.

It was simply can be understood that it is a program to make the students learn into computer-based application. There's no need to bring the heavy textbooks to school or there's no more excuses of missing the worksheet. *excuses that people always use*
This is because it is a tireless drillmaster with a perfect pronunciation model.

____________________________________________________

Next, Communicative CALL.

It was implemented between 1970's and 1980's. So, basically the approaches based on communicative that teaches second or foreign languages. It focuses more on how to use the forms rather than perfect grammar.

There are THREE (3) roles of computer in Communicative CALL which are;



1. Computer as Tutor - which means computer as the teacher. For example, we use computer to do practice. The examples of programs is language games such as word search.

2. Computer as a Stimulus - which means computer are capable to stimulate thinking and etc. Programs that are designed to help in problem solving such as Sim City.

3. Computer as a Tool - which means we can use software in the computer as a tools for language learning.

_____________________________________________________


Lastly, Integrated CALL.

It is basically the integration of real-world materials into CALL. It began with the use of CD-ROMs to store large amounts of authentic media that can be used as materials.



Why the Internet and CALL was related to each other? It is because recent advances in CALL is dominated by the internet to access and communicate information.



Thankyou for read this people! Love, Atennn 💛

INTRODUCTION of CALL

What is CALL ?

CALL is Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).

This is a term a term used to refers to the area of technology and second language teaching and learning.

It is the search for and study of the application of computer in language teaching and learning and covers any process in which a learner uses a computer.

During my diploma in Tesl, I'd learnt a little bit about CALL and I used "Hot potato" software.

There are four program for CALL.

• CALL-Specific Software

Applications and programs designed specifically to facilitate language learning. It can include web-based exercises, ELT-Software, Games etc..

• Generic Software

Refers to applications designed for general purpose but co-opted for language teaching and learning.

These include MS-Word Processor, Power Point, E-Books, MS-Publisher etc..

• Web-based Learning Programs

Applications and stuff found on the internet co-opted for use as tools for language teaching and learning. It can include online dictionary, online encyclopedias, magazine and news website, blogs, wiki etc..

• CMC

Applications or websites designed to facilitate online communication.

1. Synchronous – Instant Messaging, online chat..
2. Asynchronous – Email, discussion forum and message boards etc..

For your information, this is very interesting and a creative way in order to attract the learners through online exercises.
