DAY 5 (Video Presentation X Blogger X Last Day of Class) 07/16/16

YES! Last day of class and last day for the summer term.

Finally today we are going to present our promotional videos that we made using Microsoft Powerpoint. Every one of us are all excited to watch our videos that we worked so hard for this past few weeks. We are all given the opportunity to rate our classmates videos. We are all very proud to see the outcome or the finished material that we had made. Maybe if given a chance I will also present this video in our office. So far we enjoyed and entertained watching our own videos and hopefully our professor too.

Later in the afternoon we do our last activity for this subject which is making a weekly blog in www.blogspot.com. For this activity we are going to post our class experience and what we have learned on every activity that were given. Feel free to visit my blog and just leave comments and suggestions :)

I've learned a lot of new things and techniques from this class and I hope this can be applied in my field of work in the future. I enjoyed every exercises and activities that were given to us by our professor Dr. Roperos. Thank you sir for the fun learnings and for the wonderful experience. See you around sir and classmates :)

Below is our promotional video for our agency made by myself and my partners Ar. Angelo Tupas and Engr. John Bernard Zerda.

Enjoy watching :)

DAY 4 ( Adobe Photoshop X InDesign) 07/09/16

Last two meetings left and today we will make a magazine using Adobe Photoshop for picture editing and Adobe InDesign for the magazine lay-out. 

Adobe Photoshop is very familiar and widely used by graphic designers in editing and enhancing photos. I started using Photoshop back in my college years. I used it for making designs for t-shirt and tarpaulins for school programs. This software helps widen your creativity.






Adobe InDesign is new for me, before I used Microsoft Publisher for lay-outing magazines and other printed materials. Although there are tools that are similar to Photoshop but most of the tools are new for me. It is more advance than publisher because it has a lot of tools and features and it is more convenient to use. It is very important to know the basic tools in this software for you to have a good and presentable output. I am very excited to publish our first magazine online. 

Below is the link of our magazine made by me and my partner Engr. John Bernard P. Zerda.

TIME Magazine (MA 106)

Enjoy Reading :)

DAY 3 (Wondershare X Video Presentation)

Today is our third meeting and today our exercise is all about making a computer generated exam using Wondershare Quiz Maker.

In this software we can make different types of exam like multiple choice, true or false, matching type, sequence type and more. 

This application is very useful especially for teachers. The computer generated exam will automatically display the score of the students after they finish answering all the questions. No need to check it manually one by one. In the afternoon, our videos which we made last meeting was presented in the class one by one and we had the chance to rate our classmates work. The video presentation was very entertaining.

DAY 2 (Pre-test X Excel X PowerPoint) - 06/25/16

Second day of class and our professor conducted a pre-test to measure our knowledge about computer hardwares and softwares and different computer applications. 
Out of 100 items, I got a passing score of 75. 

After the pre-test our professor discussed our second exercise for the class which is Microsoft Excel. It is a very powerful application in which it can compute mathematical equations in just a click by providing the exact formula. In our we use Microsoft Excel almost everyday especially in our detailed estimates and project accomplishments for our on-going projects. We discussed some shortcuts and tricks in using excel faster.




In the afternoon session, making a video in powerpoint was discussed. I thought that power point is only for slide presentation, I am very amazed that we can also make a video presentation using this application. 
Dr. Roperos taught us the basics and techniques in making a video in power point. Later in the afternoon, we made a 5 slide video for us to familiarize the basics of power point.





This subject is getting more and more interesting every meeting. :)

DAY 1 (Subject Overview X Microsoft Word 101) - 06/18/16

Computer and Internet Application in Research is a very interesting subject for me. I always excited to learn new things and apply it to reality.

Today is our first day of class and we discussed the importance of computer and information technology in our society today and in our perspective field of work. We also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of computers. In today's time if you are a government or even a private employee you need to have a background of using computers or in short you need to be a computer literate.

Application like Microsoft word, excel and power point is very important in our office. Our first exercise today is familiarizing Microsoft word and doing some useful task using the application. We are given 20 exercises for Microsoft Word and will be submitted as early as possible. This exercises gives us more knowledge and techniques in Microsoft Word.

I learned a lot from today’s discussion and exercises especially some shortcuts and tips in using Microsoft Word application.
