The tutorial provided was a significant help in understanding how to use the Window’s Movie maker application. Even though it seems simple and easy to understand but without the pictures attain through print screen application and mere explanation, the true purpose would not be achieved. It takes quite some time to understand the tutorial as I am not familiar with the software. I believed in order to become a good computer user; one has to be daring to use try and error approach as mere explanation and facilitation will not guarantee success. But the try and error approach has to be based on foundation of knowledge and skill learned from experts, internet and books such as CHIP, HWM (which I usually read as it contains lots of current information particularly about consumer electronic hardware) and so on.

Even though we were the first to receive the dynamic video for assignment, I realized that we are fortunate because the previous cohort which is cohort 2 did not have the opportunity to learn this interesting application. For me, it was great because I am able to improve on my computer skills and knowledge that is lacking in my current condition. Thanks to the lecturer and tutors for helping me. I believed the application is important in today’s education sphere as it helps to avoid the traditional approach of chalk and talk and improve the pupils understanding and mastery of a specific topic or subject. In addition, if we are to be posted to the urban school, the anticipation of the pupils towards the teacher would be high in the sense that they expect us to teach them with something up-to–date and creative.

The process in creating dynamic video is as important as the product. Due to this reason, the good quality assurance and quality work criteria is ensured through the formation of group that helps each other so that they achieve the same good quality regardless of the topic or subject done. Every one has to focus on their topic and once everyone has finished their own dynamic video, other group members will work together in editing and providing the necessary feedback for improvement. In the end, everyone will get the some benefit.
