Proposal about Group Assignment

Proposal about Group Assignment

  • I am a Mathematics and computer teacher in secondary school , I will try to develop an useful website or interactive visual representation for my students to learn from it.
  • I will try to design an interactive visual representation using "Flash".
  • I will design more pictures less words in group assignment. Because I believe that well designed graphics are far more effective than words.

  • Through the discussion about the “rain drop” during the lesson, I strongly agree that get right information is a challenge and over-reliance on the internet might be problem. (I can not get complete information about the “rain drop”, as a result, the presentation can not achieve the goal.) On the other hand, I had learnt that variety of factors will affect the “rain drop” such as Air resistance, Gravity, Velocity, size, angle, wind and angle, Air pressure and surface tension…etc.
  • Also some key concepts about "Flash" were introduced. I am looking forward to learn more in order to design our group assignment.

  • Task two show that we can present a lot of information in a single screen and communicate complex ideas through visual representation.
  • Through classmates' visual representations, I strongly agree that creativity is critical to design of interactive and visual representations.
  • I understand the meaning of learning object as follow:
  1. Utilizes interactive nature of contemporary technology.
  2. Leverages on multimedia capabilities:text,graphics,animation,audio,video,etc.
  3. As a representation it is not a copy but it stands for something from the world or mind.
  4. It originated with pedagogical intentions and for educational purpose.
  5. It can be reused in different educational contexts.

Visual display of Task Two

Visual Display

Alan Cheng and I designed a single visual display to show the main ideas of the text, we hope all of you can understand what we drew and give us some comments.

URL of visual display : http://iln.cite.hku.hk/com/1374/users/ykwong5/task2.ppt

Steps to finish the task two:
  • Read the text (separation)
  • Discuss the text (combine)
  • Serach information and pictures (separation)
  • Design a visual Display (combine)
  • Apply PhotoImpact and PowerPoint to do visual display (combine)
