Electronic book...

When we hear about e-book, immediately we would think of a sophisticated way of getting reading material from the internet. As e-book starts to be one of the prefered options for reading, tonnes of e-books for youngs learners to adults could be found online. It is a new way to make reading more fun as it could encourage young children to develop the interest in reading. As teachers, we have to keep up with the changes that occur in educational world. Therefore, I think the task for this week that requires us to develop an e-book is a very good exposure for me and my other friends as we learn how to make it based on our own creativity to meet our pupils' needs. Besides, most of the ebooks from the internet require us to purchase them, which might not be convenient for us. So, it is a previllage for teachers to have the knowledge on how to produce an ebook.

By using basic program like Microsoft Power Point, I can easily design my own e-book. I make use of the skills that I gained from previous lessons such as audio, photo and video editing and apply them in this task. I did it at the last minute, but thank God I manage to finish it on time, thanks to my coursemate Joshua, for guiding me to finish up this task. I also discover new functions from Power Point, which is recording voice for narration. Nothing much can be said about the process, but I'm very happy to see the final product... now I know, if others can do it, I can do it too!!
