Are you smart and like to build? Smartbuilder is the place for you.

Wazzappppppppp ! Let's cut the chase and get straight to the point. This entry will have no puns or jokes. Smartbuilder is a tool that helps you to create your own "software" in a much easier way. You don't have to use the "c++" code to get started with Smartbuilder. This app uses a term "hyperlink", basically where everything gets started. Then, it uses "trigger" and "action" button to make everything works. Long story short, Smartbuilder is more or less like a lego. All you got to do is attach everything to its right place and it will work smoothly.

This entry will be the last entry from me. Thank you for reading my entries (sorry for the bad jokes) and I hope it can help you in the future. That is all . Chiao !

POWTOON

Wazzappppppppppppppppppp ! Ka-Poww ! Nope. Wrong entry. This entry will talk about Powtoon. Basically Powtoon is a web-based animation that allows us to create animated presentations (if you are the serious type, I highly suggest you to stop reading this entry). You can create the videos by using pre-creted objects, import your own images, include musics or your own voice cover (if you have great voice like mine).  As usual, you have to sign up, choose the category that you like and then let you creativity do the work.  So that is all for now. Go and explore. Chiaooooo !

CANVA

Wazzappppppppppppppppppppppp ! Hello readers. This entry will talk about Canva. This may be your first time listen to Canva so please read carefully. Canva is a free graphic-design tool and is easy to be used. It has millions ready-made pictures, graphics and fonts. It mostly used by non-designers (like you and I). First step in using Canva is you have to register. Do not worry. It's free. Trust me. Second step is, use your creativity and create any design, fonts and pictures that you want. So that is all. Chiaoooooooo !

PODCAST

Wazzaapppppppppppppppppp. This entry will talk about podcast. You may have heard about it but I don't care. I'm going to explain it anyway. Basically, podcast is a video or an audio file that can be broadcast through the internet. Funny info, the term podcast comes from iPod (we owe you Steve Jobs) and broadcast. Two main usage of podcast in teaching is to make students listen to existing podcasts and create their own podcasts. Existing podcast can be used for self study, listening in class and many more. If you want to make a podcast, all you need is an audio or online voice recorder or your smartphone (no excuse now huh). Other than that, you also need an audio editing tool (Google the tools please). Then all you got to do is upload it on YouTube, iTunes, Sound Cloud or Blog.

So below is my podcast. It is about greek gods (wait for the thunder, get it? Zeus, get it?). No worries now, I am still a Muslim. So that is all. Chiao !

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

Wazzapppppppppppppppppppppppp. So for this entry, I will talk about instructional design. So,what is instructional design? It is when you create instructional experiences which make the acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient, effective and appealing. Sounds great? Wait until you finish reading. It is also a mix between Behaviorist and Constructivist learning theory (note : read previous entry please). Instructional design also focusing on the learners' need. In needs to analyse the syllabus, survey,  free writing and public records. Besides that, it should have the outcome for example, what should the learners achieve by the end of the learning experience? Instruction design in CALL involves creating computer software for learning. PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) is the first computer assisted instruction system but it is an expensive system. The most important thing is the ADDIE model. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. So that is all for this entry. Chiaoooooooo
