Flashcard Reflection

A flashcard or flash card is a card bearing information on both sides, which is intended to be used as an aid in memorization. Each flashcard bears a question, number or a picture on one side and an answer on the back part of the card. During the making of my flashcards, it is not really that difficult for me to make because I have already the idea on what topic I am going to use through flashcards. Also, I printed the pictures so what I did was only cutting the pictures out of the paper. After cutting the pictures, I covered the entire picture with a scotch tape to make it more durable. But I made an extra careful in taping the flashcard because it might damage the entire card if it is not properly tape. The topic I chose in presenting a flashcard was not that difficult, in fact it is predictable when the learners saw the pictures, they easily guessed. I learned that in flashing the cards, it should be in snappy for enable the learner become attentive and can think abruptly.
I conclude, that using a flashcard is an effective way on how the learners interact the lesson presented. The flashcard that is being presented must be related with the topic discussion so that it will add an interest to the learners about the discussion matter.

Contrived Experience Reflection

Contrived Experience is edited version of direct experiences, design to simulate to real-life situation, examples are model, mock up, objects, specimens, games and simulation. Together with our group we decided to make a contrived experience about an ecosystem.
During the making of contrived experience, I felt excited on what would be the outcome of our group activity. I felt like we are a scientist at that time because we are experimenting things we don’t usually do. One of the things I never forget together with our group was the time we looked for a styro cup as one of our materials needed to make an ecosystem through contrived experience. I did not hesitate, I asked some customers inside the food court for their cups after they finished drinking. I feel no shame during that time. What’s on my mind during that was to finished the contrived experience on that day because in our group we are all working students, so we need to finished the activity as soon as possible.  The activity was interesting. We collaborate our efforts, ideas though there were some materials lacking because of abrupt decision to make out of it. But, at the end we created the activity with much fun though it takes time to create an ecosystem but after seeing the result of our contrived experience, all our efforts were paid off. We come up with a beautiful and creative ecosystem out of not so expensive materials.
I conclude, before doing the activity make it sure that all materials are ready and accessible whenever there are materials are lacking. The ideas also must be concrete. If you decide to make any contrived experience or any activities, you should not make out of the plan activity for enable not to waste the time in thinking again with other ideas. The next time if I am going to make a contrived experience or any activities, it should be in line with my interest or through curiosity why I come up with an idea so that the result would be more creative, adventurous, and knowledgeable for all types of learners.

Comic Strip Reflection

Comic strip is a series of adjacent drawn images, usually arranged horizontally, that are designed to be read as a narrative or a chronological sequence. Words may be introduced within or near each image, or they may be dispensed with altogether.

My experienced in making a comic strip was a bit disappointment. I took 3 nights to make the whole story. The time I decided to have a hard copy of the story I made from the Pixton site, I was so disappointed. I wasn’t able to produce or print the copy because the account that I used was already locked out. I don’t know what to do during that time. I looked for different ways how to unlocked my account in Pixton but there’s no other way. All I did was, I screenshot each slide and made a copy out of the screenshots I took. I felt relieved afterwards seeing the result because it looks like an original one. I realized that anything we make through the use of any websites, we should have a copy send to our personal account, for example the Gmail account in order to track a copy in case the site we use is for trial only.
