3rd Week

Being a typical teenager means we are so accustomed to downloading songs, video clips and lyrics that we could sometimes do it with our eyes half closed. But today in the Resources class for the first time ever we were asked not only to find a song and its lyrics and its video clip but we were also asked to make a documentation of it using PowerPoint. It’s as if we are going to use our slides to teach some absolutely technology- deprived young ‘kampong’ teenagers.

It felt great because it was something that we all could relate to and it was easy. I also learned something new which is how to copy a web screen and paste it in a PowerPoint slide and then edit it. I’m sure this would be a useful trick to be used later when I’m preparing my teaching slide as it would make my presentation more interesting and livelier.


We were also introduced to the Moyea Downloader Software. It is a useful tool to download videos faster and utilize it more effectively. This software allows us to convert videos that we have downloaded into any formats that we prefer which means we have more options of playing the video in any player that we have. Another advantage of it is the download rate is much faster than any other youtube downloader.



This class has really shown that no matter how much time we spend on the internet and think that we know all there is about the internet world, there is still something that we can learn everyday and improve ourself.
