ARGH~~ didnt know i should regularly update the blog..as i don't go online very often i rarely update anything as well. Urgh. Should really make it a point to do so. *mental note* >.<
on a teenie side note: i hate this designing module i'm taking 'cos it took up like majority of my time this sem =( ALL COS OF AN UNHELPFUL and MIA group mate. Urgh.
Anyway~~ getting back on track, so here goes:
Webquest:
Basically i was rather lost as to what should be included in the webquest till i started reading up on the examples on online. In the process of doing the webquest, i realised that there are many things to consider, for instance, who is our audience and how should we appeal to them and how to make it easier for them to understand (since we are targeting secondary school kids). It didnt really occur to me that what we have been learning in lecture applied to the webquest. As Alfred have mentioned, all the LDs and needs assessment are in fact steps that can help us build and base our design on. It was really rather fulfilling to see how the webquest have turned out and by doing a webquest, it really helped in embedding some of the concepts i've learnt in the lecture in my head. =)
Presentation Day:
I was really super nervous since we were unsure if we were really on the right track BUT with the reassuring looks from Alfred, Elmie and some encouraging as well as helpful classmates, it helped calmed my nerves A LOT. haha. Luckily, it was not as bad as i thought except for my shifty eyes and stutter at times. >.<
Basically, our problem lies in partly the aesthetics and we also need some reorganization here and there, but generally it does seem fine~~ =)
OH!! OH!!! AND When i saw the other presenting group's webquest, i was really taken aback!!! It's all so well done up!!! *jealous* haha.
So far, i guess the lessons have really been enjoyable with sweets and chocolates!!! haha. The lessons especially tutorials have always been very cheery, engaging and most importantly helpful cos it clarified many concepts that i was unclear about (given lectures are in early mornings when my attention span is rather short). haha. Though the workload may have been rather heavy at the start, but eventually it was still fine.. =) phew! heh.
