Reflection on Microsoft Excel




Excel is very useful to a variety of different types of people, making it meet the principle of equitable use. For example, Excel can be useful to teachers, students, business workers, moms and dads on a budget, etc. Excel can create simple spreadsheets, graphs, tables and can also generate percentages, formulas. Excel also has a low physical effort, meaning it is not too difficult to use and does not require much effort to understand. The rows and columns  are also re-sizable for whatever the users wanted size. This type of technology does not meet the size and space approach and use design since it does not require any additional components (in a physical way) to accommodate to a user’s body size, posture, mobility, etc.

TIME LAPSE


When my teacher tells us to make a time lapse I freaked out because that is my first time to hear the word "time lapse" and i really don't have an idea how to make it. It's a big challenge to me to take a thousand of photos for me to create a time lapse. I have so many subjects in my mind but I don't know how to start. My first idea should be animals or plants anything that has connection to environment. My first subject should be an ant, but there are so many hindrances. It’s too hard to take a shot from time to time because they are so many ways to bring their food. I thought that their just have one place to meet up and have a one storage of food. I also think that my subject should be sunrise or sunset but my classmates already choose it. So I changed my mind, instead of having relation to environment I choose to have a human being subject. I talked to my cousin to play with me a puzzle while my camera is set in a shutter mode to take us pictures. It took us 40-50mins before we finished the puzzle. After taking a thousand of pictures, it's time for me to create a time lapse. My classmates gave me an application called "videomach" it is time lapse video maker. It is easy to use because it will automatically arrange your pictures in proper order so that the pictures will orderly play from the first shot up until to the last shot. I can easily manage the application because it has an instruction and tutor. The only problem that I encountered using this application is it took me so long to wait while processing the video. I waited half an hour just to process the video I had made. I think one of the factors why it took me so long because my pictures have large pixels because I used digicam. Through this application, I can also put music in my time lapse. All i have to do is to drag the music that i want to put in my time lapse. I can adjust how long/short the music that will fit on my time lapse video. I can filter or put effects in every picture that I want to edit. I am really thankful to know this application because it helped me a lot in doing my time lapse video.

 Kindly watch it and enjoy! :) Thanks!

Quipper School


As a future teacher, if I will be given a chance to have a choice what online tool I will going to use Quipper.com. I will recommend it to my co teachers because it is easy to use. It was also entertaining to the students.  It is enjoyable and there's a game on it. One thing that I’d liked most on this online tool is it has already a lesson indicated. You can also make a quiz, assignments and exam. And the advantage on it as a teacher, you can easily download the result of the exams, quizzes, or even your assignments. It will automatically appear in excel type. Quipper can also send a copy of the results of the activities of your students through your email account as a back up or copy of yours. It is enjoyable because there's entertainment, the students or even the teachers can use this entertainment. You can change the background of your dashboard or even your profile but it has a payment, how can you pay it? Every time you open your account, your money will increase.  Your students will enjoy as well as they are learning. The students can also change their profile picture for you as a teacher can easily identify who is the student in your account. Another advantage of this online tool is not all students online can able to join your account because you as a teacher have a code that will serve as a password for them to join to your account. In teacher account, you can create a separate class in one account. Like for example, you want to have a separate class in your subject class in section 2. You can also create another class in your subject matter in other section in just one account only.

To create an account in Quipper, first you have to fill up the information flash in your screen. Its just an personal information so it’s not hard for you to fill up, there’s no computation or something. Just your personal information only.  Second, you have to verify your quipper account through your email account. If you don’t have an email account, I think it’s time for you to create. Lastly, you need to clarify the information that you indicate in your account. Everything that you had input in your personal information can also change in your setting once you already create your account. The code of your students will flash in your account after you created your account.
