Word Vomit (Week 11)

                          Today I'm going to share my work in our impromptu story or what we call word vomit in our class. Last time whenever we do word vomit,  we will create a story based on random words but this week we worked on constructing based on a picture. So here is my word vomit story for this week:


It was a beautiful sunny day but not until something was occuring in the ocean. The ocean started to make a big and heavy waves. It is not an ordinary waves. They are the waves that are forming and are bigger than a person. It is enough to take down a tall building. But not everyone is aware of happening. These big waves are silent killer. The disaster was onto them without them knowing. The black and furious skies were like agreeing to the waves eating the city. The waves finally reached the land forms. These giant waves washed off beautiful man-made structures. The silence is now broken. Cries, sobs, screams are everywhere.
“Tsunamiiiiiiiiiiii” scream of a woman in a business suit who saw a tsunami coming over their place.
“Evacuate everybody!” said the other employee.
Now you can’t understand what they scream for due to inaudible words coming out when they yell.
You can see the panic in their eyes.The thing that they think of is that this is the end of the world, the end of their life. Everybody rushed up to exit the building and it causes a stampede. Many did die because of the stampede.
 The other people in the other city where the tsunami is just coming over, you can see the awe in their eyes but frightened too. They immediately move and go to a higher and safe place to save themselves. Children, adults, men, women, everyone will be affected by this phenomenon.
   
                              I am learning how to write a story of what I can see to a picture. I know that my work is not yet enough because I didn't reach my goal but I will try my best to improve my work.

Planning to Make it!

                               Good day everyone! So today I'm back on my blog about my DTE learning. Last week until now, we are working on planning on creating an app. This is a group work and I am grouped with Devie, Warda, and Ofa. We called our group "The Superlatives".                                  

                               We had our discussion of what we're going to do for our project called 'Operation: Create an App'. We decided to make an app for the people who have depression but it can also be for everyone who will use it. We talked about what kind of app it will be and we agreed that it will be a chatbot. Then we started our actual scheme for the app.

Direct Learning Object:

Padlet
Coggle.
Reflection:
                              We used the websites Padlet and Coggle for our planning session. These websites are so useful because we can share it with each other and cooperate with the planning we are doing and they are also free!.Padlet is like a bulletin board but on the online way. You can choose what kind of wall or theme you want to use. You can put pictures, videos, links and stuff there which is good because it is in your hand what kind of wall you fancy for. The thing that I just didn't like about this web is that you need to refresh it over and over again when someone did some change or edit the work. It's like you are in the same place but all the things you do are complicated because it doesn't settle at the same time.
                         
                               While on the other side, Coggle is like a mind map to help you organize your plans and thoughts about a certain topic. It helps us to put our ideas together when we are using it. In fact, we added some more information in our plan when we used this website. I am fascinated when I used especially when a new branch is added (it's like colorful corals :) ). I just struggle how to use at first but overall it's convenient to use.
                     
                                I think I've picked the right group. When I was working with them I always smile and laugh. We suit for each other, we understand what stand every person in our group suggests, we collaborate our ideas to make a simple and creative scheme.I am not saying that we are the best group of most of all but I can say that this experience of working with each other is great cause everyone is engaged to participate and happy to work with. Our group is not perfect but we try as possible as we can to communicate to each other. Actually, I am the leader of this group and I am trying my best to be their motivator and the carrier of the team. Even though I am the leader, I can't feel I am the leader at all cause everybody is being given the chance to be the leader and I think what's more important. I really hope that we can start creating the app.
                         
                                 What I've got by doing this project of ours is that it might be hard starting making an app and we are still struggling but if you have people that are in your group struggling it will be worth it. This planning that we did is a good start for us and I hope we can continue to make it because it is really hard to make.I've learned that working hard is good to blend with fun. It does makes you enthusiastic of what you want to achieve.

Questions:
 Do you think we can accomplish to create our app? How about trying Padlet and Coggle on your education purposes? Good day! Thank you!

                     




Changed Our Minds

                    Welcome to my blog again my dear readers!. I think you're intrigued about what am I going to talk about today because of the title of this blog post.Don't worry it's not something serious it's just that we change our minds in our Music presentation.

                    Today we decided to finalize our decision about our presentation. So we tried different piece of songs to practice and chose one song at the end. Last time we said that I'm going to do the piano, Devie's part is playing the guitar and Tyrepa's managing the drums but the we altered the parts. Now me and Devie's going to sing and Tyrepa's going to play the guitar. And also we said 'See you again' is our presentation but we found it hard and we don't have much to practice it and we even changed it to 'A Thousand Years' but it didn't work. Our decision about our song is just to sing 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz which is happy and good to sing.

                                                                Here's the song:

                     I hope we're going to perform this song well. I know to myself that it will hard to stay in front of many people and be confident but I'll try to stay positive to perform on Thursday. Goodluck to us three!
