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.

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.
