Final Concept

This is pretty much the finished narration of the video..

Script on Video Narration in Final Video


1.Our world has seen a number of crazy technologies that are capable of things that people would’ve only dreamed about just a few decades ago.

2.It’d start to revolutionize the way we communicate, travel and live.

3.But how far has technology evolved in the field of education?

4.Unfortunately, in our part of the world, technology has not yet been fully implemented to good use in our education system.

5.If only we could bring our netbooks, smartphones and PDAs to school, wouldn’t it be easier for students to learn in class?

6.For a typical local student, it sounds too good to be true.

7.Imagine if we could abolish the boring conventional ways of learning in school and transform the learning system entirely with a little added creativity and the aid of multimedia technology.

8.Students with individual netbooks could download an entire syllabus and study them at home.

9.Multimedia programs can help students learn without the presence of a tutor.

10.A networking system in school allows bulletins and announcements through to people.

11.Students should be free to bring their hand phones or laptops or mp3s to class.

12.They should even be able to choose not to attend class since the need for them to be physically present is not required and when they could do something more productive with their creative tools all in the comfort of their own homes.

13.When we think about it, the idea of an establishment that gathers students together in a classroom is starting to look ancient when we consider the fast advancement of our communication technology. It may seem like a farfetched idea but now is the time for people to realize that our fast-paced race to a more sophisticated civilization will advance to the point that education will have to be rebuilt on the grounds of multimedia technology as a necessity for a more creative generation.

 

Method

As we all know random association is Random Word technique, the most basic and obviously creative technique where we use a random word to generate new ideas. By getting a random word as a prompt and forcing our self to use it to solve our problem we are practically guaranteed to attack the problem from a different direction to normal. We take a word from a random word generator, extract its underlying principles and then apply them to our problem to see how they can help.

Statement or Problem

The deficiency of the local education system has to be reconsidered. The recent educational system has to be entirely rebuilt alongside the growth of technology to make the most out of students’ lives with the help of multimedia technology.

Essay

A New Creative Take On Education

Many people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television because we human being always afraid of testing or applying new thing in our life and the habit of doing something can’t be change easily. All of these can be used inappropriately, but all of them have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used-- interactively and with guidance-- they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.

Few decades ago our world was testing lot of crazy technology in different field like in medical treatment, communication, transportation, management, government safety, arms, weapons etc. It’d start to revolutionize the way we communicate, travel and live. But we still afraid to use the multimedia technology in education then still we go to school with the lots of books, pens, pencil or the school bag is more bigger than the children size. Why we still afraid of using new creative way of learning? Why we still afraid of using the multimedia technology in our learning system?

If only we could bring our netbooks, smartphones and PDAs to school, wouldn’t it be easier for students to learn in class? We feel that it sound too good for local student because students can learn with fun. And the knowledge with the fun can remember for long time which is proofed by many scientists in this world. That’s why we always try to make fun in class. Here we are talking that why we don’t use that multimedia technology which will make the student life more colorful and enjoyable.
Imagine if we could abolish the boring conventional ways of learning in school and transform the learning system entirely with a little added creativity and the aid of multimedia technology. Students with individual netbooks could download an entire syllabus and study them at home. Multimedia programs can help students learn without the presence of a tutor. A networking system in school allows bulletins and announcements through to people. These types of technology are nothing new in the realm of the higher education, in colleges and universities. Why we still afraid to use the same concept in our school system. Where, students should be free to bring their hand phones or laptops or mp3s in classrooms. Because it is not only the device of communication or entertainment it can be used to learn. Why we don’t think it positively and we allow the student where the students can use such device to enhance their knowledge.

Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures. Both of these have their place, but such use does not begin to tap the power of these new tools. In this area, students will learn how computers can be used to stimulate and develop writing skills, collaborate with peers in foreign countries, do authentic kinds of research that is valuable to the adult world, and do complex kinds of problem solving that would otherwise be impossible.

As we know children from as early as 6 go on to spend 12 years in school just to learn as usual the same thing. Yes we appreciate that there are some grade in school and they learn something different in different grade. Still we are pushing our old model of education on them and trying to make our student to learn without their interest. So here why we don’t use the technology so students can learn from anywhere with their comfort life, which will create more interest on studying and make better people for our great future. As we know the education is given for the production of good and educated candidate for the nation development. The government always want to have the most talented people with them but why they still afraid of using the greatest creative multimedia technology on our education system.

In conclusion, we have lot of creative technology in this world unfortunately, in our part of the world; technology has not yet been fully implemented to good use in our education system and we still afraid to apply on our education system. It may seem farfetched but the time already come where people is realizing that our technology is advance to the point that the education system will have to catch up even if it means abolishing and revolutionizing the education system in its entirety.

Drawing and Work Progress

Logical Mind Map

Progress 3

The third meeting for our group discussion, we had clarify some problem and how to solve the problem and some method from our chosen topic. We had found the solution to solve the problem, which we learned from the lecture lesson. For our solution, we used random association to solve this problem.
According to schedule we have to consult to our lecturer about our assignment progress during the class time. So today we make our consultation to Mr. …………………………….. at 11:15 am in the classroom. Where he accept our idea and he said he is happy with our job but he still want to see our method and step of generating idea clearly. He also mentioned that he was really interested to see our final product on our blog. And he suggested that we all have to post same thing in our blog.

Progress 2

The second meeting, we had discussed to divide the task for the production of this assignment 2.
For the first stage we had to create a Logical mind map based on creative studies as the major view for this assignment 2.
Then, we had to deepen the topic for our focus mind map (A NEW CREATIVE TAKE ON EDUCATION by using motion graphic).

As we discussed on our last meeting today we have to make our focus mind map. But we have to choose the topic for the focus mind map where we discussed and decided to make the uses of creative multimedia on education. Then we produced another focus mind map. Where we just focus on our topic “uses of creative multimedia technology on our education system.” We finished our meeting for today after we decided to see tomorrow for the essay writing.

Progress 1

We are in group of five, Syed, Ashraf, Faizal, Hafidz and Bishnu.
We had given a task to create a creative thing for this assignment 2.
So for the first group meeting, we had discussed many topics but we are still in blur with the task given.
After a couple hours, the leader had explained everything and we had chosen a topic. The topic of our group is A NEW CREATIVE TAKE ON EDUCATION by using motion graphic.

Today we have the first meeting. As we know we got another group assignment for creative studies. Our theme is “creative multimedia”. We have to make a presentation based on this theme and we have to follow one of the methods of idea generation with the correct step of creative studies. Then today we did the first logical mind map which is general mind map which include the basic information about the creative multimedia. Finally we decided to make the focus mind map on our next meeting.

Random EXCERSICE

The task is to merge or combine any two animals which can survive only in short period. It does not have to be logic. For this task I choose fish and spider. This is because fish live in water and spider live hanging to something.

Fish+Spider

ANALOG EXERCISE

In this class we were asked to related a picture into words.

Happiness

happiness is just like a clock,
it keeps on ticking.

Life
Life is like a wheel,
it keeps on turning.

Love

Love is like chillies,
it spices up your love life.

ANALOG METAPHOR SIMILE

Metaphor

-A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses one thing to mean another and makes a comparison between the two. For example, Shakespeare's line, "All the world's a stage," is a metaphor comparing the whole world to a theater stage.

-Metaphors can be very simple, and they can function as most any part of speech.

Analog

An analog is a bit more complicated. At the most basic level, an analogy shows similarity between things that might seem different, much like an extended metaphor or simile. But analogy isn't just a form of speech. It can be a logical argument: if two things are alike in some ways, they are alike in some other ways as well. Analogy is often used to help provide insight by comparing an unknown subject to one that is more familiar. It can also show a relationship between pairs of things. This form of analogy is often used on standardize tests in the form "A is to B as C is to D."

Simile

-an open comparison

-a form of metaphor that compares two different things to create a new meaning. But a simile always uses "like" or "as" within the phrase and is more explicit than a metaphor. For example, Shakespeare's line could be rewritten as a simile to read: "The world is like a stage."

JUXTAPOSITION

Juxtaposition: The arrangement of two or more ideas, characters, actions, setting or in similar narrative moments for the purpose of comparison.

In literature and film, juxtaposition is the arrangement of two opposing ideas, characters, objects and much more. Adapt from the movie Lost, often uses juxtaposition to further develop the storyline or characters - it is applied variously to opposing emotions, abstract concepts, character values or images.


There are two types of juxtaposition.

1. Juxtaposition literary
2. Random Juxtaposition


Juxtaposition Literary : Synonymous with contrast, two objects or text that oppose one and another.

Random Juxtaposition : Two random objects move in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.

Convergent Thinking and Divergent Thinking

In last class I had been lectured about convergent and divergent thinking. And this is what I understand of convergent thinking and divergent thinking.

Convergent Thinking

1. Convergent thinking is a style of thought that attempts to consider all available information and arrive at the single best possible answer. Convergent thinking is not, generally speaking, particularly creative and is best employed when a single correct answer does exist and can be discovered based on an analysis of available stored information.
2. As example, most of the thinking called for in schools is convergent, as schools require students to gather and remember information and make logical decisions and answers accordingly.

Divergent Thinking

1. Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible

   solutions. It is often used in conjunction with convergent thinking, which follows a particular set of logical

   steps to arrive at one "correct" solution. Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous,
   free-flowing manner, such that many ideas are generated in a random, unorganized fashion.
2. As example, y
   ou're at the junction, but you don't know where to go, so you decide to go with the flow and look for other opportunities without you have to think whether it's right or not.

Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

Today I will explain something new that i had learned from my last lecture class. It is about Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

Creativity
Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing.

Invention
An invention is a new composition , device or process. An invention maybe derived from a pre-existing model or idea, or it could be independently conceived in which case it may be radical breakthrough.

This is an example of an creative invention video I found for your viewing.

Novelty
Novelty is a patentability requirement. An invention is not patentable if the claimed subject matter was disclosed before the date of filling, or before the date of priority if a priority is claimed of the patent application.

A Switch Blade Comb

Innovation

What do I understand about Innovation is its a change in the thought process from doing something or "new stuff that is made useful". As an example a pendrive nowaday has many design but still works for data storage.

a plain pendrive

a designed pendrive that works as tie pin and a pendrive
