Learning Resources

1) Blogger

First and foremost Hi!  I'm a new member of the Blog Community. I am currently working on my blog as my assignment for Instructional Technology subject. I am forever grateful that I discovered  blogger.com with the help of my lecturer and friend. What I love about this website is that you can talk freely without being judged by anyone. I've been searching for a free blogging website for a long time now. A great website for anyone who is bored at home and wants to find a new hobby. Especially these days, we had to limit our movement only for important stuff and event due to the Movement Control Order (MCO). 

One of the best benefits that come as a result of blogging is that it allows people to express and hone their creativity. This can turn a boring paper into a fun creative process. Besides, it’s also a fun and innovative process in which they can combine much of what I have learned. Moreover, I think blogging can boost my confidence in writing and build sentences in English. My English grammar is not too good since primary school. This had made me lost my confidence in English. Luckily, I found a platform to express my feelings without being judge by others.

2) Snapseed Apps

Honestly, I love photo editing. The first time, I have my own handphone was when I am 18 years old. The first thing I eager to learn was editing photos. But, back then I have to focus on my lesson in college. So, I stop for a while because unconsciously, editing photo takes time too much. Besides, I'm also into photography, I love taking random pictures in different events and places. 

My current favorite editing apps is Snapseed. Snapseed from Google is a powerful photo editor that rivals desktop photo editors in terms of functionality and ease of use. This free photo editing app comes with a range of preset filters. However, unlike most apps, we can edit these filters and even create our own from scratch. It also has all of the classic tools, such as cropping, straightening, frames, text, vignettes, etc. And the sharpening feature does the job without making the image look grainy. Snapseed has precision masking, which allows you to edit the depth of field – photographers often do this to make the background blurry and bring the foreground even more into focus. There’s also a “Selective Adjust” tool. This lets you select a specific area of your photo and adjust the saturation, contrast, and brightness of that single point. What’s more, the photo editor app saves your edit history, so you can amend your previous edits at any point.

3) Wondershare Filmora

This is the video that I had edited using the Filmora Apps. Filmora is a perfect video editor for online social video editors, vloggers, home movies, and more. And it’s compatible with both Mac and PC users. If you’re someone who needs multiple sequences, the ability to edit different types of picture profiles, it’s not the software for you. The best part about Filmora is that you can get started today for free.

This software is one of the easiest software that a person can use. It basically includes almost all the features you need to edit a video. The best thing is, you do not need to have any sort of knowledge to use it. you will eventually figure out what to do. the platform is very user-friendly. It also features a lot of things like chroma key and other effects that you need to create a professional video. It also comes with those ever-growing effect packs which make the video look amazing. Filmora is my favorite video editing software because we can easily catch up with the features. I highly recommend this for beginners.

4) Google Docs Vs Microsoft Word

Real-time communication, a history of changes, track changes, auto-saving, work from anywhere, offline work mode, exporting, file storage, and more are all available in Google Docs. Most significantly, it enables us to remain organized and see the most up-to-date edition of your website content at all times.

With or without an internet connection, you can open and edit a Word document from anywhere. Many of the features are available offline, while Google Docs is reliant on the internet. Since it's a cloud-based word processor, you'll need to be connected to the internet to access the live documents and save any changes you make. 

5) Flipgrid

Flipgrid is a website and app that allows teachers to facilitate video discussions. The topic space serves as an interactive message board where teachers can pose questions and students can post video responses that appear in a tiled grid display. Guests can also be invited to participate with a link and a password. A variety of filters and tools allow for text, stickers, screen recording, and other possibilities. 

Because of Flipgrid's asynchronous nature, it's a great tool for every learning situation, from remote learning to BYOD classrooms, to classrooms with fewer devices than students. If you want to create a video for students to view but don't want or need to collect video responses, check out the simple Shorts tool. Because of its flexibility, Flipgrid gives students options around how they want to demonstrate learning, which can lead to more effective assessment and student engagement. If we aren't sure where to begin or how to use it effectively, there are a ton of ready-made topics in the Discovery area.
