Citizen Journalism Workshop

1/13/2020

Taken place at Putra Business School UPM, the workshop was attended by officers from the Ministry of Information, Bangladesh. This time around, I was invited to conduct a workshop on Citizen Journalism - an interesting new topic! We had a good time exploring issues related to social media journalism, particularly on citizen journalism. I also learned a lot about citizen journalism in Bangladesh as well as other stories from policies, up to political matter.

As we had so many topics to be covered, three day workshop was not enough. Nonetheless, I am grateful and feel proud to see their efforts to produce a short video by just using mobile apps (Animoto and FilmoraGo). Well, some people might underestimate the power of mobile version of video editor, but FilmoraGo and Animoto prove that the perception is totally wrong. For those who are always on the go, but love to share things on their social media, these easy apps would be suitable options.

As for graphic design, Canva will always be my first choice. Comes in web and mobile apps versions, Canva will never disappoint you! Only with few clicks, your graphic is ready to be shared as it allows you to download the output in jpeg and other formats.

Speaking about ethics in citizen journalism, there are fews aspects that need to be considered. If you ever shared any news, information or views on your social media, you are considered as citizen journalists! So, as a journalist, there must be ethics that you should follow so as to create a harmonious and constructive sharing environment online.

My heartfelt thanks to Putra Business School for this invitation. I do learn a lot myself from conducting this workshop, and also through sharing information with these great guys! Thanks everyone for your attention and determination to complete the training days. I do hope you enjoyed your training as well as your visits! Till then, thanks!

Sekitar Bengkel Pembelajaran Aktif

11/29/2019

Alhamdulillah apa yang dirancang berjalan lancar. Saya pada awalnya agak risau jika masa tidak mencukupi untuk melaksanakan keseluruhan aktiviti memandangkan bengkel dijalankan pada hari Jumaat. Namun syukur sekali lagi semuanya berjaya dilunaskan dalam masa yang diperuntukkan. Syabas buat semua peserta yang sangat aktif dan cekap! Cuma saya menunggu-nunggu refleksi yang dijanjikan oleh para peserta namun belum kunjung tiba!

Flipgrid badge!

11/24/2019

Wohoo! I was surprise upon receiving an email from Flipgrid team, congratulating me on the accomplishment of having 50 videos shared on my Flipgrid account. Obtaining the badge was not my major intention, as the main reason why I used Flipgrid was to actually encourage my students and trainees to voice out their reflections. What I noticed most was that, not many of them are really open to express themselves in in front of others in their classrooms. By using Flipgrid instead, they are have time to record their reflection (some of them preferred to do it alone, in their quite room). I know that you guys do not really into writing your thoughts, so sharing your feelings and thoughts via the video would be a better option. Let's do it more often!

Thanks Flipgrid! ^____^

Bengkel Pengembangan Animasi 2D - 3D dan Visual Effect

11/23/2019

Bengkel kali ini agak istimewa kerana pesertanya merupakan 10 pelajar dari negara seberang, Indonesia. Mereka ini pelajar-pelajar terpilih dari daerah Aceh untuk menghadiri kursus pengembangan diri selama sebulan di Malaysia, tepatnya di UPM.

Saya dijemput untuk mengendalikan Bengkel Pengembangan Animasi dan Visual Effect. Alhamdulillah, semuanya menunjukkan semangat dan minat yang mendalam untuk meneroka sesuatu yang baharu meskipun kebanyakan mereka sedang mengikut program multimedia dan networking di negara asal.

Saya mengucapkan selamat maju jaya buat semua!

21st Century Learning Designer in AR workshop

11/5/2019

Sehari setengah berkampung di Kolej Komuniti Selayang untuk Bengkel 21sy Century Learning Designer in Augmented Reality - Flipped Classroom Specialist Designer. Para peserta merupakan para pensyarah Kolej Komuniti yang datang dari pelbagai negeri. Memang terasa keseronokannya apabila berada bersama kumpulan yang begitu peramah serta gemar ketawa ini! Apatah lagi penceramah juga kaki melawak!

Satu perkara yang saya perasan adalah aspek di mana para pensyarah masih kurang didedahkan dengan kemahiran dalam pedagogi serta perancangan dalam pdp. Let alone the concept of ID and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Namun alhamdulillah di kesempatan ini kami berkesempatan untuk membincangkan isu-isu berkaitan dan sekali lagi saya menekankan problem-based approach sebelum sesuatu perancangan dilakukan.

Kadangkala kesukaran untuk menghasilkan pengalaman pembelajaran yang bermakna berlaku apabila pendidik tidak dapat mengenalpasti 'performance descrepancy' para pelajar. Kegagalan berbuat demikian akan mengakibatkan pembaziran masa dan tenaga apabila bahan yang dibangunkan serta masa yang diluangkan untuk pdp tidak membuahkan hasil yang diharapkan.

Duh, masa terlalu suntuk. Malangnya saya tidak berkesempatan untuk berkongsi secara lebih mendalam tentang SoTL dan selok beloknya. InshaAllah jika ada peluang di lain kali kita bersua untuk berkongsi rasa!

Terima kasih kepada pihak penganjur for a great hospitality and fabulous food! ^___^
