The document discusses what the student learned about technologies through constructing a media product. They used a non-school camera that allowed them to explore different camera types and produced high quality images. Editing software like Premiere was useful as they had practice with it from prior tasks. Additional equipment like a tripod, microphone, and iPhone voice recorder enhanced audio and video quality. Blogger was effective for planning, research, and presenting work. YouTube supported research into film codes and conventions as well as uploading drafts. Prezi provided a creative way to present evaluations.
I chose to answer Question 6 using a Microsoft PowerPoint, and talked about what I have learnt about different technologies from the process of constructing my product.
This is our practice film pitch of a horror film called The Lurking which we envisioned. This practice is so that we know what to do in our final piece.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Evaluation Question 6: What have
you learnt about technologies
from the process of constructing
this product?
2. Strengths and Weaknesses of using
the camera equipment.
The strengths are that we used a non-school camera and we feel this let us
explore the use of different types of cameras. It was also a great quality of
image, allowing us to show off facial expressions and the features of the
setting’s and location.
The weaknesses were that because it was a new camera that none of us
had yet used, it took us time to adjust to the way the camera worked. Also
some shots when edited had to have warp stabilizer applied because the
camera was hard to keep still in some shots.
3. Problems we faced when filming and
how we resolved this.
Although we had to get permission from the train station to allow us to
film there it was not a problem and they were very supportive of our
media project.
The only small problems we had was that in some shots members of the
public looked right into the camera. In some cases this meant we had to
film several times in order for the shot to be perfect and have a ‘natural’
essence about it. Further limitations of filming came when a train arrived
we got told to stop until the area had cleared. This made sure we wasn’t in
the way of people trying to get past but on the other hand, when filming it
was sometimes stop and start.
4. Did we get to use new equipment in
order to enhance our media product?
As apart of our filming we got to use a tripod, this meant that
we could secure the stability of our shots. When it came to
the panning in some shots; the tripod allowed us to complete
this transaction fluently and also decreased the chances of
unwanted movements of the camera.
We also used a microphone in order to increase the quality of
our diegetic sound because our camera couldn’t capture
natural sounds when filming. This meant that our final
product sound features were very clear to hear.
5. What did you learn about the editing
and what effects were useful?
After having some practice of using Premiere in our prelim tasks it
allowed us to know how to work it. This was very helpful when it
came to the editing of our film opening as it would of taken our
group a lot longer to edit if we didn’t have previous experience
with it.
In our film opening we learnt how to apply exponential fades to
the end of audio clips, we used a fade in to portray a potential
romance between the two characters. The fade out was then used
to signify the conclusion of the film opening.
Warp stabilizer was applied where we had to stop the shakiness of
the shot so the camera pan was smooth.
We also increased the speed duration of the train clip which kept
the tempo of the opening up.
6. Phone
Apart of our foley clips we used the voice recorder on the Iphone 6 as the sound
quality was relatively good and need to be applied to some sound in shots.
The first time we used this was the diegetic sound clip of the music after Tez has
taken his earphones out. It was effective because it picked up the diegetic sound
of the music that would be heard if you were with the character.
The second time we applied this was the footsteps of Alicia when walking down
the high street. In this instance it was really effective as it was hard to pick up the
sound from the original shot of the camera.
7. Blogger was the centre of all of our planning, research, evaluation, construction,
reflection and prelim tasks. At first I was a bit unsure on how to use blogger as
editing the template and embedding links etc was new to me. I felt that blogger
was a great site to use after practice because it kept all work together in a
presentational way that looked really smart. The way you could put your own
twists onto blogger to make it unique to yourself was also really effective way of
expressing your own personality. The access to the groups blog when copying
their designated post was easily accessible and saved a lot of hassle trying to get
work off them.
Blogger is one of the best technologies I have used and has been fantastic in the
whole of my Media experience.
8. Youtube
Youtube was one of the biggest parts of our research as it allowed us to
explore film openings which helped when discovering codes and conventions
of Drama and Romance films. We took notes from watching the videos and
was a very important part of all our research.
Furthermore, youtube was used when we as apart of our music research and
the music within our final product opening. This was ‘Skepta- Nasty
(Instrumental)’ and ‘Power of Romance’.
Evaluation Question 7 involved Alicia vlogging about the progression from the
Prelim task which meant she had to export it to youtube. This was also the case
when Evan discussed which film institution we chose.
Youtube was where we uploaded our first draft and final draft to and was easy
and efficient in doing so.
9. Prezi
We used Prezi on Evaluation question 2 where we spoke about how our
product represents social groups. It was a unique and creative way of
presenting our work. Chloe had never used Prezi before and found it easy
to start working on which sped up the process of the evaluating.
Scribd was used as apart of our planning stage that consisted of creating a
script. Although we had very little dialogue in our opening it was still good
to refer back to and a presentational way of displaying the script.
