Week 12: E-Book

In this week’s class, Puan Foziah taught us about E-Book. E-book is a learning tool that created using PowerPoint or other software. It can be used as teaching aids in the classroom. She also shows us some examples of E-Book. She then asks us to create our own E-Book using the PowerPoint software.

The E-Book must have message in it and we can use it in the classrooms. We cannot create E-Book that would not attract student’s attention, we must be able to create an interesting E-Book that filled with colours and pictures. We also need to include background sound and music into the E-Book.

We need to consider some criteria that were essential in creating the E-Book. The criteria were;

1) Theme of the story.

2) The setting (time and place)

3) Plot-conflict, climax and resolution

4) Characterization

5) Navigational tools (Teacher can go to the next and previous slide)

6) Colourful pictures

7) Sound

Luckily for us, Puan Foziah asks us to do the task in pair. That was a relief for me as it would be difficult to do the task alone. My pair was Sabrina. My partner and I have chosen the topic transportation. We began to collect some pictures or any materials that can be used for the E-Book. As I am more experienced in using PowerPoint, my partner prepared the picture and the sound needed, I just need to embed them to the slides. This was not an easy task, the picture must be big and clear enough for students to see. The sound must be loud enough and the timing must be parallel to each other.

These were some pictures from the E-Book;

All and all, although it was very hectic, with the workload and whatsoever, I have fun in doing this task. It tests my creativity in creating something new from what we commonly use in classrooms. Thanks to Puan Foziah for the task given.
