Tenth Class reflection

Assalamualaikum and hello.

The tenth class explored the use of Microsoft Publisher application in producing product such as the book cover, template or brochure, news letter and many more. Before that, we have to submit our assignment 2 to Izyan. All the necessary hard copy and soft copy was collected and put in an envelope which represented specific pairs. Thank you to Izyan for helping us with the process of submitting the assignment.

The exploration of some of the Window’s application is crucial for me in the sense that there are still lots of basic applications that can be put into good use of the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Before this, I thought that the Publishers application was insignificant compared to Word and Power Point. But as we go along and gain new knowledge and skills, all the applications created are definitely have their own specific use and advantages that differentiate it from the others. Since my Microsoft office does not have the Publisher application, I have to install it and this actually gives me opportunity to learn new knowledge of adding the feature or part of the whole system to the Office application.

In the context of the teaching and learning process, the publishers can be optimized its utilization, by proving the teacher and pupils resources, material as well as ways to produce something that can benefit all the parties concerned. In particular for the teacher’s part, they can use the brochure for instance, to grab the pupils’ attention in the specific part of the lesson by making it attractive, colourful and importantly meaningful for the pupil. For the pupils part, they can learn to produce the specific product like for example, news letter that can be used as a writing activity, published and pasted either in the classroom or at a particular advertisement board. There are still a lot more of the application that can be explored and utilized in order to produce a successful and meaningful learning experience for the pupils as well as teachers.

All in all, every application has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. It is up to us, the ‘homo sapiens’ created by the God, to think and use His knowledge for the positive side. Thank you.
