2. Why are learning objectives an important aspect of lesson planning?

To improve communication among teacher-students in classroom

To ensure teaching and learning are structured
To be used for planning activities so thats it is going smoothly
Enables good assessment development
Enable teachers to give reflection and evaluation of their instructions/teaching and
learning
Enables developments, improvement on teaching and
learninghttps://learnandteachstatistics.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/objectives/http:/

3. What are the four components of a well-written objective?

According to Heinich et. Al (2002) suggest that well written objective have four
elements which is called the ABCD instructional objectives which is:
A : audience
B: behavior
C: conditions
D: degree

Discussion : Cyber learning

1. Define cyber learning and provide an example of a classroom application.
Taskforce (n.d) defined cyber learning as, the use of networked computing and
communications technologies to support learning. Cyber learning is the web 2.0 which is
used in classroom and outside classroom to enhance learning process. Example of web
2.0 is, Prezi, a tool for presentations, and many more tools which is found on the internet.
By optimizing the web 2.0 in classroom, student can share their ideas among others, able
to search for new information or additional information they require. In line with that,
they will be able to voice out their ideas. On the other hand, it will improve their critical
thinking and problem solving.

2. Describe cyber-learning literacy and discuss how it may be used in the classroom.
Literacy means ability. Thus, cyber-learning literacy means the ability and skills to use
technology tools which includes the computers/gadgets and the internet in classroom or
outside the classroom. This may be used in classroom by using web 2.0 in teaching and
learning process. For example, using media from the internet such as audio and video to
improve their understanding. This will help the teacher in preparing the lesson as there
may be not enough resource for teaching or teaching aids. Teacher must encourage the
student to surf the web in classroom to expand their knowledge and information and to
clarify their doubts. But, teacher guidance in surfing the web is important. Thus by
optimizing the web 2.0, cyber learning literacy can be improved.
3. Identify three web 2.0 resources and demonstrate an example of how they might assist
learning.
i)
Blogs
A good platform for communication. Suitable for teachers and students,
whether it is inside or outside the classroom. Examples of blogs is
Wordpress-include multimedia libraries, numerous templates and host of
widgets to enhance the functionality of their blogs. Other example is Edublog.
It is based upon wordpress platform and offers teachers the capacity to create
and administer an entire class of blogs through a secure portal.

ii)

iii)

Video and audio

Enables users to share videos. This enables teachers and students to source
video content for knowledge acquisition or remixing purposes, as well as
disseminate their own video. By using audio it will help to improve student
language, especially in language classes. For example, Powtoons.
Presentation tools
Presentation tools enables users to sequence multimodal content so as to
support or deliver an instructional narrative. Product are shareable via URL
and public repositories. Presentation tools are useful for any situation where
teachers or students are required to share or demonstrate their understanding.
Examples of Presentation tools is Prezi, Google slides..

4. Explain why social networking issues important for the classroom.

Social networking sites are very useful and attractive environments for the users. Yet, it
has its pros and cons. teacher must be aware of the social network issues that has been
happening since long time ago. One of the issues is that, it can be a distraction in a
classroom. For example, social networking such as Facebook, Instagram, twitter can take
away their attention while in the teaching process. Thus, teachers/ instruction must make
sure that it can be controlled in the classroom, or make sure they wont be misused. Other
than that, cyberbullying might be happening. While it helps to connect people between,
teacher-students, peers-peers, doesnt mean that there wont be a bullying happen on the
internet. Teachers who used social networking as part of their learning must be aware,
and concerned about the potential dangers and overcome it before it becomes serious.

610 Interactive Multimedia

Discussion : Filename Extension and Intended Purpose

Over the years many graphics formats have been invented for storing images on computers.
1. Listed the most common formats
2. Identify their purpose

GIF: stands for Graphic Interchange Format. Commonly used for bitmap images
composed of line drawings or blocks of a few distinct colors. GIF89a file formats,
supports transparency, it allows to make a color in an image transparent.
JPEG: stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It stores all of the color
information in an RGB image. It is designed so that the changes made to the
original image during conversion to JPEG will be invisible to the human eyes.
BMP: stands for Bitmap. It is used for bitmap graphics in the Windows platform
only. Other than that, it stores images data from bottom to top and pixels in
blue/green/red order.
TIFF: stands for Tag interchange File Format. It is used for exchanging bitmap
images between application programs, including those used for scanner images.
Commonly used in desktop publishing faxing, 3-D applications, and medical
imaging applications.
PNG: stands for Portable Network Graphic. PNG offers greater color support and
better compression, gamma correction for brightness control across platforms,
better support for transparency, and a better method for displaying progressive
images.

Discussion : JPEG vs JPEG2000

3. Explain in detail how JPEG compression works, and how JPEG2000 compression works
in comparison. What are the advantages of these two types of compression

Discussion : Vector vs Bitmap

4. Vector graphics can be turned into bitmapped images by rendering; bitmapped images
can be turned into vector graphic by automatic/or manual tracing. What use could you
make of each of these conversions?
