This is pretty much the finished narration of the video..

Script on Video Narration in Final Video


1.Our world has seen a number of crazy technologies that are capable of things that people would’ve only dreamed about just a few decades ago.

2.It’d start to revolutionize the way we communicate, travel and live.

3.But how far has technology evolved in the field of education?

4.Unfortunately, in our part of the world, technology has not yet been fully implemented to good use in our education system.

5.If only we could bring our netbooks, smartphones and PDAs to school, wouldn’t it be easier for students to learn in class?

6.For a typical local student, it sounds too good to be true.

7.Imagine if we could abolish the boring conventional ways of learning in school and transform the learning system entirely with a little added creativity and the aid of multimedia technology.

8.Students with individual netbooks could download an entire syllabus and study them at home.

9.Multimedia programs can help students learn without the presence of a tutor.

10.A networking system in school allows bulletins and announcements through to people.

11.Students should be free to bring their hand phones or laptops or mp3s to class.

12.They should even be able to choose not to attend class since the need for them to be physically present is not required and when they could do something more productive with their creative tools all in the comfort of their own homes.

13.When we think about it, the idea of an establishment that gathers students together in a classroom is starting to look ancient when we consider the fast advancement of our communication technology. It may seem like a farfetched idea but now is the time for people to realize that our fast-paced race to a more sophisticated civilization will advance to the point that education will have to be rebuilt on the grounds of multimedia technology as a necessity for a more creative generation.

 

Method

As we all know random association is Random Word technique, the most basic and obviously creative technique where we use a random word to generate new ideas. By getting a random word as a prompt and forcing our self to use it to solve our problem we are practically guaranteed to attack the problem from a different direction to normal. We take a word from a random word generator, extract its underlying principles and then apply them to our problem to see how they can help.

Statement or Problem

The deficiency of the local education system has to be reconsidered. The recent educational system has to be entirely rebuilt alongside the growth of technology to make the most out of students’ lives with the help of multimedia technology.

Essay

A New Creative Take on Education

   Many people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television because we human being always afraid of testing or applying new thing in our life and the habit of doing something can’t be change easily. All of these can be used inappropriately, but all of them have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used-- interactively and with guidance-- they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.
   Few decades ago our world was testing lot of crazy technology in different field like in medical treatment, communication, transportation, management, government safety, arms, weapons etc. It’d start to revolutionize the way we communicate, travel and live. But we still afraid to use the multimedia technology in education then still we go to school with the lots of books, pens,  pencil or the school bag is more bigger than the children size. Why we still afraid of using new creative way of learning? Why we still afraid of using the multimedia technology in our learning system?
   If only we could bring our netbooks, smartphones and PDAs to school, wouldn’t it be easier for students to learn in class? We feel that it sound too good for local student because students can learn with fun. And the knowledge with the fun can remember for long time which is proofed by many scientists in this world. That’s why we always try to make fun in class. Here we are talking that why we don’t use that multimedia technology which will make the student life more colorful and enjoyable.
Imagine if we could abolish the boring conventional ways of learning in school and transform the learning system entirely with a little added creativity and the aid of multimedia technology. Students with individual netbooks could download an entire syllabus and study them at home. Multimedia programs can help students learn without the presence of a tutor. A networking system in school allows bulletins and announcements through to people. These types of technology are nothing new in the realm of the higher education, in colleges and universities. Why we still afraid to use the same concept in our school system. Where, students should be free to bring their hand phones or laptops or mp3s in classrooms. Because it is not only the device of communication or entertainment it can be used to learn. Why we don’t think it positively and we allow the student where the students can use such device to enhance their knowledge.
   Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures. Both of these have their place, but such use does not begin to tap the power of these new tools. In this area, students will learn how computers can be used to stimulate and develop writing skills, collaborate with peers in foreign countries, do authentic kinds of research that is valuable to the adult world, and do complex kinds of problem solving that would otherwise be impossible.
   As we know children from as early as 6 go on to spend 12 years in school just to learn as usual the same thing. Yes we appreciate that there are some grade in school and they learn something different in different grade. Still we are pushing our old model of education on them and trying to make our student to learn without their interest. So here why we don’t use the technology so students can learn from anywhere with their comfort life, which will create more interest on studying and make better people for our great future. As we know the education is given for the production of good and educated candidate for the nation development. The government always want to have the most talented people with them but why they still afraid of using the greatest creative multimedia technology on our education system.
   In conclusion, we have lot of creative technology in this world unfortunately, in our part of the world; technology has not yet been fully implemented to good use in our education system and we still afraid to apply on our education system. It may seem farfetched but the time already come where people is realizing that our technology is advance to the point that the education system will have to catch up even if it means abolishing and revolutionizing the education system in its entirety.

Drawings & Work Progress




 

Logical Mind Map





Progress 3

The third meeting for our group discussion, we had clarify some problem and how to solve the problem and some method from our chosen topic. We had found the solution to solve the problem, which we learned from the lecture lesson. For our solution, we used random association to solve this problem.

According to schedule we have to consult to our lecturer about our assignment progress during the class time. So today we make our consultation to Mr. …………………………….. at 11:15 am in the classroom. Where he accept our idea and he said he is happy with our job but he still want to see our method and step of generating idea clearly. He also mentioned that he was really interested to see our final product on our blog. And he suggested that we all have to post same thing in our blog.

Progress 2

The second meeting, we had discussed to divide the task for the production of this assignment 2.
For the first stage we had to create a Logical mind map based on creative studies as the major view for this assignment 2.Then, we had to deepen the topic for our focus mind map (A NEW CREATIVE TAKE ON EDUCATION by using motion graphic).

As we discussed on our last meeting today we have to make our focus mind map. But we have to choose the topic for the focus mind map where we discussed and decided to make the uses of creative multimedia on education. Then we produced another focus mind map. Where we just focus on our topic “uses of creative multimedia technology on our education system.” We finished our meeting for today after we decided to see tomorrow for the essay writing.


*attach discussion pics here*

Progress 1

We are in group of five, Syed, Ashraf, Faizal, Hafidz and Bishnu.We had given a task to create a creative thing for this assignment 2.So for the first group meeting, we had discussed many topics but we are still in blur with the task given.After a couple hours, the leader had explained everything and we had chosen a topic. The topic of our group is A NEW CREATIVE TAKE ON EDUCATION by using motion graphic.

Today we have the first meeting. As we know we got another group assignment for creative studies. Our theme is “creative multimedia”. We have to make a presentation based on this theme and we have to follow one of the methods of idea generation with the correct step of creative studies. Then today we did the first logical mind map which is general mind map which include the basic information about the creative multimedia. Finally we decided to make the focus mind map on our next meeting.

Random Excercise

For this task , we have to combine any two animals which can survive in short period .For this task choose a duck as a face  and  fish  as a body. For my opinion i choose this both animal  because fish has small body and duck cant dive.

Random Association

Another task giving  that is we were supposed or create a "Scary Images" that will fear people through out the ages.


Eyes- scary eyes to scare enemy
Sound- laud sound 
feet- run faster
paws-scratch victim

Analog Exercise

for this exercise, we have to relate  picture into word such as a poem or anything.. so let me give a try..

Pain
Ice Cream - Pain and death are part of life,its like an ice cream
To reject them is to reject life itself.


Love


Red Chilli - Love is like a red chilli ,
its hot and spicy,the much you have it,the stonger 


Happiness  

 Clock-Happiness is like a clock,its nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Like the clock which not stop ticking for 24hours and 365 days.

Metaphor, Simile and Analogy

we have studies about this subject and im going to explain a few thing about this topic.
Definition of:

Metaphor-is a figure of speech that uses one thing to mean another and makes a comparison between the two. The key words here are “one thing to mean another.” So, when someone says “He’s become a shell of a man,” we know not to take this literally, even though it’s stated directly as if this person had actually lost his internal substance.

Simile-A simile compares two different things in order to create a new meaning. In this case, we are made explicitly aware that a comparison is being made due to the use of “like” or “as”

Analogy-An analogy is comparable to metaphor and simile in that it shows how two different things are similar, but it’s a bit more complex. Rather than a figure of speech, an analogy is more of a logical argument. The presenter of an analogy will often demonstrate how two things are alike by pointing out shared characteristics, with the goal of showing that if two things are similar in some ways, they are similar in other ways as well.

creative!!

this is an  image that  found from  oh tidak! website I wanted to share with you all .It's kind of funny but creative :)


Juxtaposition

Let me write about Juxtaposition today,
  • Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing two things close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences
  • In literature, a juxtaposition occurs when two images that are otherwise not commonly brought together appear side by side or structurally close together, thereby forcing the reader to stop and reconsider the meaning of the text through the contrasting images, ideas, motifs,  
let me show a few example (image)

Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking

Hello !Hello! welcome back to my blog. (happy after Spain win the world cup 2010 :)well for the next topic I like to explain a little bit about creative thinking in Convergent Thinking and also Divergent Thinking that I had learned in my previous class.

Convergent Thinking
  • From my studies , I believe that convergent thinking is just focused on solving problems that have a single correct solution
  • For example , if we given a multiple choice question then we have to use convergent thinking because we only have to find the correct answer to that question.(single)
Divergent Thinking
  • As what I know ,Divergent thinking can define as thinking outwards instead of inward.That mean we can able to develop original idea and come up with a problem solution
  • For example, I took a story from Albert Einstein . Einstein asked himself what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. It took him many years of thought experiments, however the answer helped him develop the special theory of relativity.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." ~ Albert Einstein





Novelty, Innovation and Invention

hello I'm back, last week in creative studies class, i learned new thing . It is about novelty, innovation and invention.let me elaborate about this new topic .

Novelty

Base on what I have studies, novelty is about the quality of being new or unique I notice that novelty have two different types that is subjective and objective novelty.
  • for subjective novelty is - Point of view of anything and everything being new or different,meanwhile objective novelty is a progression about something new through generation
Let me show an example of novelty ..

Innovation

  • for me innovation is the ability or process to turn some existed thing into something new
  • accepted by the public or community
  • Innovation also need to be satisfy the particular need of everyone.
This is an example of innovation..

as we all knew this might be the old version of chair ,but in this new era, many designed chair that also have a another function besides just sitting on its such as..


awesome table chair

Invention

In my opinion,invention is a process of creating the new idea from the knowledge or experience that we learn from day to day to create or produce a something new and useful for everyone to use it in everyday life

"Make a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought."
