This week's focus is on the tools that are available on the Internet, specifically Google. We learnt about how to make better searches by using AND, OR and NOT which I feel is really useful, especially now when we're doing some form of research almost everyday for our different communication modules. For this week's post, we're required to do 2 things: 1. Make a movie on Windows Movie Make and 2. discuss one of Google's online tools.
I've decided to concentrate on Google Groups as the tool of interest. Although Google Groups was introduced to us near the beginning of the semester, I think it's worth mentioning again. Basically, Google Groups is an online tool where members of the group are able to have discussions, upload files and share ideas, information and etc. It has become useful especially for me and my group of project mates because since then, we have been using it rather often. For one of our communication modules, we've uploaded articles of interest, made announcements and put up our relegated work for our final group project. Clicking this link here will provide further information on the birth of Google Group. Anyway, I foresee further use of this particular tool just because it makes things so convenient. For example, instead emailing everyone an article, we can just put the article in the group and send out a notice mail. Easy-peasy!
Our second mini-assignment this week is to make a video from Windows Movie Maker. I've got to admit that I've fiddled with this software before on a boring, rainy day. It was easy and rather fun actually. However, it is rather limited compared to other, more sophisticated software like Adobe Premiere Pro (which I just love love love). Nevertheless, one can make a passable video or video montage from it and below is my amateur attempt at a tribute for the people who made my life in uni more colourful. I spent easily 3-4 hours on it and did not find it a torture at all. I just wished I could customize it even more. Oh well, it was one of the more fun assignments that I had to do for this module. So enjoy! And comments are welcomed!
