Pow-WOW



Hi, Assalamualaikum!

Must you wonder, what I'm going to share today? Come on, make a guess or two... I have shared something about audio editing, photo or graphic editing, so what is it this time? Yes! It's a video maker/editing/presentation time! The name is Powtoon and as you can see, it is multifunctional video maker software. 

Unlike other video maker, Powtoon lets us start from scratch and develop our way through it. It provides templates for us to use if we don't have any ideas on what to do. Working with Powtoon is much easier than doing the Audacity but either way, we still have to learn how to use those softwares, right?


So this is how it looks like on the homepage and as we can see here the featured templates are provided.

The main reason why the class learned about Powtoon is that we will have to do some assignments using this software so our lecturer wants us to get comfortable with using the Powtoon and can handle it well later. Mdm Azida, our lecturer, had given us the task to do which is to create short video of ourselves 5 years from now. Unfortunately, during the time the task was given, I have no access to my computer so I did not get the chance to do it as Powtoon is a big software that requires big browser thus, you cannot access it through phone. I guess that is the only downside of the software. Otherwise, everything is perfect. Luckily, I have enough experience with Powtoon in previous semester so I still know how does it work.

I guess that is all for now, we will meet again on the next entry with more interesting topic. Toodles!

XOXO

Mic Test..1..2..3..?

Hi, Assalamualaikum! It's finally hereeeee! EH? What is?  Ehehehe our very own podcast is finally here! We have to create a podcast by using Audacity software and publish it. Farra Nazira was my other half for this assignment and we put so much effort to making this work. For us, it is better if we both meet because to record a podcast with each other being milessss away is so hard and the sound quality will be worrisome. It is not like I came to KL solely for this purpose but I think, why not?  We have discussed the idea for the topic via WhatsApp before we met since we would have to get approval first and the reason why we chose to talk about books is because it is something that has been with us since we were a kid. It is something that is so sentimental to us so we both agreed to do this. Finally we came out with the name of the podcast which is the "Booktalks". It is where we shared our opinion on the books we have read and also to share our experience related to boo...

Computer-mediated Communication (CMC)

  Hi, Assalamualaikum! I have promised to elaborate more on Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) on my previous post so I can't delay that and gotta do it soon after. After all, CMC is something that is close with us and it is not that complicated despite the name itself so I am going to explain it short and sweet. Let's get into it! Computer-mediated communication (CMC) would be defined as any individual interaction by the use of two or more electronic devices. Although the term has historically known to these interactions that exist through computer-based formats (e.g. instant messaging, email, chat rooms, web forums, social networking sites), it has now been extended to other means of text-based contact such as text messaging. Computer-mediated communication can be divided into two types:  Synchronous: The interaction happens in real time. All parties are engaging in the conversation at the same time; even so, not all parties are usally at the same place. For example, Fac...
