Reflections on every week :)
- a short explaination on what we did through this semester-
Week 1:
On the first week, Dr Fariza ask us to send some picture in the Telegram group to know each other. All of my friends were sending their beautiful picture and Dr loves it. For this week we were only get to know each other's face. I am excited to learn this subjects. My lecturer explain some details about our courses to us.

Week 5:
Introducton of IT in learning and Teaching.
On the 5th week, our class was held on Zoom meeting. Dr Fariza was asking us a lot of question such as asking about where we are come from. We were so excited as it is our first class together. Dr Fariza asked us to open our cameras and everyone was shy at first but we managed to see each other via Zoom meeting. From this meeting, we were learnt about how technology provides students with easy-to-access information, accelerated learning and fun opportunities to practice what we learn. Information technology playing a major role for both, the students to achieve better understanding, learning and education while teachers to keep themselves up to date and improve their teaching skills. For now, I think it is important for students and teacher to master in technology because it will give them many benefit and easier their works.
Week 6:
Weebly introduction
For weebly introduction, Dr Fariza teach us on how to use Weebly sites. At first, I feel like it is a hard task but when we are doing according the instructions, everything goes smoothly. Dr show us about Weebly one by one to make us understand about it. We were very focus listening to Dr's lecture because dont't want to miss anything important. Weebly is a sites that manage your students account, accept student's works and assignment and keeps you parents up to date. Personally I think this is a good website for student to share their works and practice to be a disciplined person. Before the class ended, we checked on our classmates attendance and Dr gave us their YouTube channel to see the weebly infromation just in case we are forget on how to do the weebly. I have already subscribes Dr Fariza's account hehee because i love how Dr explained in all the videos that she had already published.

Week 7:
Learning about AR
This week, we learn on what is Augmented Reality. This is a new knowledge for me as I never heard about this before. From what Dr had explained to us, Augmented reality (AR) is one of the biggest technology trends right now, and it’s only going to get bigger as AR ready smartphones and other devices become more accessible around the world. AR let us see the real-life environment right in front of us—trees swaying in the park, dogs chasing balls, kids playing soccer—with a digital augmentation overlaid on it. For example, a pterodactyl might be seen landing in the trees, the dogs could be mingling with their cartoon counterparts, and the kids could be seen kicking past an alien spacecraft on their way to score a goal. With advances in AR technology, these examples are not that different from what might already be available for your smartphone. Augmented reality is, in fact, readily available and being used in a myriad of ways including as Snapchat lenses, in apps that help you find your car in a crowded parking lot, and in variety of shopping apps that let you try on clothes without even leaving home. Dr Fariza left us a homework which is to do Augmented Reality project using any application. My groups chose to use Blippar apps because it is easy to use it. We were excited to do the assignment.

Week 8:
Theories in teaching
Generally, there are five widely accepted learning theories teachers rely on which is:
Behaviorism learning theory.
As Simply Psychology puts it: “Behaviorism is only concerned with observable stimulus-response behaviors, as they can be studied in a systematic and observable manner.”
Cognitive learning theory.
Learning relies on both external factors (like information or data) and the internal thought process.
Constructivism learning theory.
The learner builds upon his or her previous experience and understanding to “construct” a new understanding
Humanism learning theory.
A “learner-centric approach” in which the potential is the focus rather than the method or materials.
Connectivism learning theory.
informed by the digital age, connectivism departs from constructivism by identifying and remediating gaps in knowledge.
These theories are important because it is part of the human condition to crave knowledge. Consequently, numerous scientists, psychologists, and thought leaders have devoted their careers to studying learning theories. Understanding how people learn is a critical step in optimizing the learning process.It is for this reason that teacher colleges or educator preparation programs spend so much time having teacher candidates study human development and multiple learning theories. Foundational knowledge of how humans learn, and specifically how a child learns and develops cognitively, is essential for all educators to be their most effective instructors in the classroom.
I have learnt about this theory on our second semester and we glad that we can refresh our knowledge learning about this again since Dr Fariza also said that we should know about all these theories.

Week 9:
Finishing AR project
On this week, Dr Fariza asked us to do our groupwork so that we can finish it faster. My groupmate talked about this assignment and decided to do a slide in Canve since it has so many attractive design. WE we divided our parts and we need to do video about what we had choose. I have to make three videos on me playing the traditional games and I was enjoyed it since its been a long time not playing traditional games. I asked my friend to accompany me to the park at the evening because we can record video there. After recording the video, we grab some food and drinks because we were so hungry. My groupmate updated their progress on our project through WhatsApp. We were agreed to finish the AR project on this week. We need to submit the AR project as presentation through the Telegram. My lecturer will give her feedbacks about it.

Week 10:
Learn about how to make a video
This week, we are discussing our storyboard and storyline. We had chose the "Lalai" as our drama title. My groupmate were acting as the character and I volunteered to edit the video. The scripts was edited in google words so that everyone can edit it. It need to be so careful to edit the video so that it will leave some effect to the viewers. We were taking this week to finish our movie.

Week 11,12,13:
Feedbacks on our storyline and Finishing our video
On this week, we were submitting our works to Dr Fariza to have some feedbacks. Our group got a positive comment but Dr asked us to make the scene in the video as in the storyline. We were so nervous to get the feedbacks. Overall, other group also receving the feedbacks from our lecturer. We were improving our storyline to make it more interesting.

butWeek 14:
Sharing some Completed video to Lecturer
It is the end of our class. My lecturer asked us the progress of all our assignment and project. She asked to share if other group have finish it. Then, there is one group voluntereed to share their works. Their video so amazing and the song match with the situation in the video. Their AR project also interesting and i like it so much. Our lecturer asked our progress and we said that the project are nearly done but still have to polish it. At this time, our lecturer suggests us to use Photobook to print our hard copy and we agreed to use it. But when we send the slide to make as a book, there are some problems and we need to ask lecturer some time. We were urged to finish our weebly account and all the assignment.
