• As Kavitha says (April 13th, 2007), "designing and presenting the interactive represtation in one page, keeping in mind the audience is definitely going to be a challenge in this project".

we must consider this point carefully and design the most appropriate visual & interactive. We are looking forward to getting your feedback. Thank you for your comments!

Slider

Lession 8 is a good time for reflection on 17th April, 2007.
We have more opportunities to discuss and ask questions about our Group Assignment with our lecturer, classmates and group members.

We are planning to use slider to introduce Cambodia History of our Group Assignment "Daily Life of the Children in Cambodia" with my partner, Lidia.

The step by step video showing how slider is crated and used are useful for making the slider to introduce the "Development of Public Housing in Hong Kong" which is the topic for project learning for Form One students in my secondary school. I am planning to have collaborative teaching with Social Studies teachers. This slider shows us about the development of Public Housing in 1953, 1954, 1973 and 2002:

Your comments are useful during planning our collaborative teaching and learning.

Reflection on Lesson 7 "Photo Story"

After completing my Digital Photo Story ~ Functions and Activities of School Library, I really feel a sense of success and satisfaction. It is useful for a teacher librarian to introduce the school library to students and teachers, especially to the new students.

Enjoy your visit to a secondary school library in HK and nice to receive your comments!

Storyboard "Group Assignment"

In order to prepare a single representation display of storyboard, we use Flash instead of powerpoint to do our Storyboard with my partner, Lidia Ho, for our Final Assignment of "Daily Life of the Children in Cambodia". It is more attractive and effective.

The Digital Storyboard of "Children in Cambodia" shows more photos about the children in Cambodia ~ the children of Cambodia want peace, not war. The population of homeless people, namely children, countinues to increase in the capital city of Phnom Penh. They are thirstier for knowledge. However, the cost of a public education prevents many families from sending their children to school.

The Digital Storyboard of "Cambodia Tour 3" is about a 5-day tour in 2006 Christmas from Hong Kong to Cambodia organized by Happy Tree Social Services. We joined this tour because we wanted to visit Cambodia's children and sent Christmas gifts to them.

Interactive Map "Beijing"

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Beijing by Interactive Map. Beijing is the capital of China and it will be more well-known because of 2008 Olympia. I went to Beijing with my family in 2006 summer holiday. I am interested in using buttons and action script to introduce Beijing by Flash.

Digital Storytelling

I learnt from the 6th (online) lesson on 3 April, 2007:
http://www.learnactivity.com/ds/
especially the self-paced tutorial.

I hope I can design educationally effective digital stories with user-friendly technologies after more practices.

Daniel said "I recommend Microsoft Photo Story because it is powerful enough, free of charge and extremely user-friendly."
(Photo Story 3) http://www.microsoft.com/photostory/

Being "technologically literate" means not just understanding how to use technology, but also when and why to use it.

What is Digital Storytelling? It supports students' engagement, creativity, multimodal thinking and expression, collaboration, project work.

Storyboard

What is a Storyboard?

I got some ideas from lesson 5th (27th March, 2007) about Storyboard with various examples.

I am going to write the Storyboard of Final Assignment "Daily Life of the Children in Cambodia" with my partner, Lidia.

Lesson 5

Interactive Map of Hong Kong
It is a good sample to motive us to learn Flash and it is successful to develop our skills to design interactive materials with Flash.

I am going to use interactive map to introduce the capital of China, Beijing.
