I'm applying contextual learning in a journey to Nora's wedding!

yup. i'm applying contextual learning in a journey to Nora's wedding reception...! hehehe actually i'm taking a picture along the journey to my friend's wedding reception. a picture of what? of course... text picture... (TEXT IN MULTIMEDIA is my project topic). i'm taking an example the usage of text on our daily life... home.. workplace... and community. as we know, contextual learning helps us relate subject matter content to real world situations. these will motivate students to make connections between knowledge and its applications to their lives as family members, citizens and workers. so... that's what i do... here some of the example about text in our life... enjoy the journey!


Ticket please...!


"Kurangkan Laju" means Slow Down!!!
(it's a caution message. concise and clear. that all it needs)


Burger King... YummY!!! (logo)

To Nora: Be a good wife and mum ya!

here another eduweb that i found. this web is useful for malaysian secondary students because all of the topic in our syllibus was in this eduweb. here is the link:

http://www.brainpop.com/

Brainpop offers animated movies that teach about topics in health, science, math, English, and technology. Each movie has an accompanying online interactive quiz. well friends, unfortunately, it's not free... but you still can have a free trial... hehehe

It's interesting eduweb. Try it out!

Blogs: user’s voice on the Web

i'm back!!! hihihi hmmm dunno why today i wake up early in the morning, sent my mum to her office, and back home with a full motivation to blogging today... hmmm talk about blogging, nowdays, everybody know how to blog. and believe it or not, my dad himself have his own blog... surprise? yup! i'm surprise! because my dad is 50 years old....! talk about 50 years old... hihi this year he will be rich.. hahahaha

ok. serious. back to the topic. A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites that you want to remember.

What are blogs?

Web + Logs = Blogs???
A blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and
displayed in a reverse chronological order

• You write easily everything you want (without specialized knowledge)
• You are connected with other people (blogosphere)
• Primary textual, but no restrictions (photos, video, audio, etc)

Whatever you want to say to the world,
Blog can help you say it!

There are numerous instructional design models such as:

• ADDIE Model
• ASSURE Model
• DICK and CAREY Model
• HANNAFIN and PECK Model
• WATERFALL Model
• RAPID PROTOTYPE Model
• HYPERMEDIA Design Model
• MULTIMEDIA Design Model

So many models!!!

Hmmm...
How do you know which to use and when?

to be honest, i'm just familiar with addie, assure, and hannafin and peck models only. Other model such as hypermedia, multimedia, and rapid prototype.... hmm i'm not very sure about all of these models... oppssss! SOry Dr Zaidatun....

for my group project, in a beginning we decide to use Hannafin and Peck Model, but after we discuss further on the other models, our final decision was to use ADDIE Model.

WHY???

2 reasons:
1) we are quite familiar with ADDIE model beside hannafin and peck (actually both of this model is almost the same if you understand it)
2) i don't know why, maybe just because addie is the most popular and basic instructional design model compare to other model...

wanna a notes about all of these models? i've several links here...
