Tutorial Animoji Menggunakan Zepeto

Assalammualaikum dan hai semua.

Bagi pengguna android, Zepeto adalah apps yang boleh kita gunakan untuk membuat animoji. animoji ni seperti watak kartun 3D la.

Tutorial dalam video youtube di bawah:


Bagaimana? Cuba ya.

Ni sebab kenapa saya teruja sangat berkongsi, tentu sebab saya suka kan? 

Apa yang menarik tu? Jom baca:

1. Boleh rakam video atau gif terus dan save di hp, xperlu share dalam zepeto.

2. Comel, cute, cantik.

3. Boleh letak tudung pada character. Tudung labuh pula tu😁 Payah nak jumpa kartun yang pakai tudung.

4. Baju pun ada yang sopan. Baju jepun, jubah moden. Ada belaka.

5. AR camera boleh rakam video dengan mulut dan mata bergerak seperi orang betul. Yang ni membuatkan saya teruja lebih, rasa kalau boleh lompat ke bintang, saya dah lompat dah✌️

6. Lucu, rasa stress buka zepeto, pasang ja kpop dance. Terus gelak keluaq ayaq mata. Anak2 pun datang tengok dan kami gelak bersama-sama😆

7. Berhajat nak buat video pembelajaran. Tapi segan tunjuk muka🤭 maka, inilah penyelesaiannya. Tempek animoji sudah. Kan comel?

8. Video atau gambar kita boleh tukar background malah boleh letak image dari gallery. So agak2 perlu ke tak green screen?

9. Boleh tukar2 character dan ubah wajah di awal penciptaan character. Nak mata besar ke, rambut cacak ke, semua boleh. App juga boleh rakam gambar kita, dan cipta character. Ha, gitu! 


itu lah antara yang menarik daripada kaca mata seorang ibu anak 4, guru bahasa inggeris tahun 1 dan seorang muslimah yang pakai handsock.. hehehe.. 

Pandangan dari kaca mata anda mungkin berbeza kerana setiap orang minatnya berbeza-beza.

Sekian.

Teaching and learning via Whatsapp ? PART 1

Hi there.

Thanks for stopping by.

" Online shopping is normal, Online teaching is abnormal"


Sorry guys. That's what I think. I haven't ventured in 100% online teaching before although I had accomplished several online forms and transit records all these years. Except 2020 when school was closed amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

We did not have much choice for online teaching. Yes, we do have Google Classroom ID, but the students are not yet trained in using it. Most of their parents have Whatsapp, and luckily, I had my own class's group, we proceed the online teaching via this platform.

As a matter of fact, Whatsapp is convenient and engaging so long as we provide great guidance and encouragement.

I wish the pupils enjoy the lesson in Whatsapp or else,  I'm being full of myself. huhuhuhu..
Hopefully the kids are happier than ever, exploring all the online tools I gave them.

All the ideas are used by many other teachers, including my kids' kindergarten teachers. I'm writing here so that we, the teachers shall be highly motivated and wildly enthusiastic to impart knowledge.

I am absolutely glad to share engrossing ways for you to explore Whatsapp for remote learning. Let's avoid the tedious and boring classroom, shall we?

What are the ideas, anyway?

1. Commence the class with dua

Alhamdulillah, Muslim students begin the class with dua. I had shared the dua before studying English in my previous post. ______> https://madamsyuhada.blogspot.com/2020/05/dua-before-studying-english-for-kids.html?m=1



You can either share a photo, a video, or a voice note.  

Do you know, why dua is crucial before starting our virtual classroom?

Dua has the ability to change one's destiny. More input on this please read the posting at 



2. Use Stylish Text.

Kick starts the class instruction by using big, creative, and different fonts.  


But how? I am not sure whether all the devices have the same fonts as mine or not, but I notice that we can't vary the font. (to date 21 May 2020. Should state the date, WhatsApp improves features each time they update)

As to achieve these fantastic fonts, there are two options that I find useful.

FIRST❤️OPTION❤️

First, you can search yay text in chrome omnibox tab.  

OR JUST HIT THE LINK ------->https://yaytext.com/

Type in sentences and choose the fonts. Copy and paste in the Whatsapp chat.



Familiar with the font? I 'm using them for the first option title.


The SECOND OPTION IS mobile apps name Stylish Text. Download from play store.




Paste the fonts on any social media. Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, or Telegram. I'm using the stylish font as my user name. How wonderful they look when someone searches for your profile.



Actually, I use stylish font as the blog post's title too. 

3. Create your own sticker 

This is what I do. Find your favourite picture, and make a sticker of it. Modify, edit,  whether you want it as a reward or as motivational words. 



Install that one (above). There are other apps in the play store. Choose the best for you. I chose that one. Creating stickers here was trouble-free.  Moreover, you are able to save up to 30 stickers in the same pack. (From my experience)

Below is how I use the stickers of my own. 

Use stickers to encourage your kids too.

4. Alert parents by GIF 

You can also create your own gif by using Canva. (Canva can also be downloaded from play store) Search for animated gif and save in your gallery. Use whenever you want to. 


Or else, use the provided gif in Whatsapp. There are plenty of them. Type search to meet the theme, you wish.


5. use bold text to stress words or instruction.

Often we use this function. To stress the skills, rubrics, or date. Put *at the first letter of the words/sentence then, close with another *.



6. Send posters for instruction/notes


Yes, posters. What I mean is pictures but have simple wording to express the lesson. Below is an example of mine. Again, Canva helps me edited this. 





7. Send ebook for more than 5 pages of  notes


Instead of sending pdf files, use ebook online for notes. Register at Anyflip website and start uploading your free ebook. Copy the link and send in Whatsapp Group.

Why I choose ebook rather than pdf? Ebook attracts kinesthetic learners more than normal pdf. Well you also need a Pdf reader to open the file which is not everyone has.

8. Keep alerting parents after office hours


We did not mean to disturb parents, but they need to alert their kids to do assignments given. (I teach year 1, which parents are the main role for online teaching)
Simple text or gif is enough. They went working, sometimes they miss out on the information.

9. Explain the rubrics in poster

I haven't tried this yet. It's in my mind already. I plan to share the performance standards so that parents know exactly their kids' progress.  Now, they are the teachers too, aren't they? Later, I will share my experience. Something like the photo below.


10. Upload pictures of the kids before starting the class


If you are with the easy-going parents' group, then doing this will not be an issue. Knowing the parents is also important during distance learning. The reason you upload pictures with the kids is to kick start the lesson so that they feel as if they are at school. We are touching their heart before touching their mind. Beware, don't touch their feeling, as touching feeling means crying. 😁

11. Video calls for selected pupils.

Check the pupils' engagement. Who hasn't responded to anything, you might want to private message them. Ask their problem. Sure, you can arrange a video call at a certain time in line with your students' preferences.

The teachers in my kids' kindergarten did this week. She privately messages me to schedule a date, time, and topic. Undeniably, it's really effective for my kids.



For your reference, video calls in Whatsapp need a stable internet connection. You can add to eight people for a video call. However, you have to arrange a date and time wisely so that all will benefit from that video call.

I find this is an interesting method approaching students.

Do you know how to video call? Open the pupils' chat. Click the icon video as in the picture. You can also add other people while video calls. There will be an icon people when you first video call. To add others, click that icon plus people.


12. Reply privately, coaching one to one.


We are working from home, therefore we save the time of driving, relief class, and reports of activities, you name them. Therefore, we have extra time to coach them one by one. 

 When they send the task in the group, you might want to hit their message, then hit the three dots to choose reply privately. This feature doesn't need any saving numbers at contacts. I do this during writing activities. 


13. Forward  and mark assignments using edit tools in Whatsapp


Many teachers had shared their marking styles in Whatsapp. I am super duper triggered after I explore the features. But, before you too feeling on top of the world, please check your Whatsapp apps whether or not updated to the latest version. 

I am keen on this but frustrated when I can't find the tool before I realized that, I had the old version of Whatsapp. 😅

Let's update your apps first.

  • Go to Apps Store / Play Store, hit the three lines (indicate menu), hit My apps and games, then update all.


  • Open Whatsapp and explore.


  • Open the group chat or individual chat, then select clip icon, choose gallery. 


  • On top of it, there are several icons. Try them all.


Below is an example. This is obviously not marking. I use the edit tools to highlight the objects that I want them to write. Cool. 

Imagine you mark the writing task and add some stars on it? or else a thumbs up?  The best part is, you do not need other third parties. It's already in Whatsapp. Time-saving. 



Wow, I had written 13 ways to make Whatsapp a great tool for distance learning. Actually this took me three days to reach the end of the post. 💪

Part 1 guys. I have more to write about this. Share at the comment if you want me to add your experience in my next post.... PART 2.

STAY TUNED.

Kunci Apps dan Kids Space pada Telefon Pintar

Pernah dengar kan ayat ini


"Telefon pintar memang pintar. tetapi, pintarkah anda?"


Menusuk ayat ini. Ayat kempen supaya pengguna hp tidak terlalu taksub menggunakan hp ketika memandu dan sebagainya. 

Sebenarnya post ini bukan mengenai penggunaan hp ketika memandu, Oh tidak! Saya ingin kongsikan cara kita aktifkan kunci keselamatan di Apps yang ada dalam telefon pintar.

Kenapa penting untuk mengunci Apps? Kerana zaman PKP ni, cikgu-cikgu banyak masuk group Whatssapps dan Telegram. Tidak kurang juga yang bukan guru. Ibubapa juga berada dalam group Whatsapps kelas demi membantu anak-anak belajar sepanjang tempoh kawalan pergerakan ni. Maka, eloknya kita kuncikan ia supaya anak kecil tidak senang-senang membukannya tanpa pengetahuan kita.



Antara fungsi keselamatan dalam hp terkini, adalah fingerprint lock dan face recognition. Saya lebih suka fingerprint lock. Mudah. Letak sahaja jari pada kekunci, terus handphone terpasang. Tiada masalah lupa password atau kod. Face recognition saya tidak gemar, kerana saya bertudung dan pemakai kaca mata. Bukan 24 jam saya dengan spek mata. Apabila cuba face recognition, terkadang gagal kerana tiada spek mata. Stress pula jadinya. 


Selepas anda membaca post ini, saya percaya anda akan segera kuncikan apps yang penting supaya anak-anak tidak dapat mengaksesnya. Bukan apa, bimbang mereka terhantar yang bukan-bukan. Nak pula terhantar gambar anda sedang tidur. Memikirkannya pun dah seram. 

Ok, jom kita tengok apa yang telefon pintar boleh buat. 

1. Apps Lock built in phone


Setiap apps dalam telefon pintar kita, boleh dikuncikan. 

Anda boleh cuba buka di Setting> Security> Apps Encryption.


Setelah melakukan langkah itu, pilih Apps Lock. Pilih Apps yang anda perlu kuncikan. 
Anda boleh lah mengunci folder, gambar, telefon, dan lain-lain apps yang perlu. Ada pilihan diberikan. Jangan lupa beritahu pasangan anda tentang ini. Kenapa anda kunci. Bimbang nanti jadi pergaduhan pula. 

Dah siap, cuba buka Apps tersebut. Selesai mengunci. Yea, berjaya!


2. Apps Lock Playstore  

jika telefon anda tidak menawarkan fungsi Apps Lock, Anda boleh download Apps Lock di playstore.


Caranya , pergi ke Play Store, taip Apps Lock di ruangan search. Pilih Apps yang sesuai. Baca dulu review dan rating bagi Apps tersebut. Jika sesuai dengan anda, boleh lah muatturun.


3. Whatsapps Lock



Ya, whatsapp terkini sudah ada fungsi fingerprint lock. Sebelum anda cuba apa yang akan saya beritahu ini, pastikan anda telah 'update' Wahtsapps terkini.

Cara untuk megaktifkan Whatsapps Finger Lock.

-Pergi ke setting.
-Tekan Account
-Security
-Fingerprint Lock


Dah siap. 5 saat saja. 


4. Telegram Lock


Telegram juga tidak bertangguh lagi dari menawarkan fungsi ini kepada semua penggunanya.  Oleh itu, jom kita cuba.

Pergi ke setting
kemudian, Privacy and Security
Pilih  Passcode Lock
Taip kod
Aktifkan passcode lock, dan unlock with fingerprint.


Yer dah siap.

Cuba tutup dan buka semula.


5. Kids Space/ Kids Place/Kids Mode/ Child Mode

  Kids Space boleh set masa dan apps yang anak-anak boleh tonton atau bermain. Oleh tu, anak-anak bermain hp dalam kawalan dan masa yang kita tetapkan. Selamat mata mereka.

Anda boleh baca di laman web telefon masing-masing ya.







6. Apps Parental Control

Jika telefon tiada fungsi Kids Space, kita boleh muatturun apps. Ini yang saya jumpa di Play Store. Tetapi saya tidak muatturun kerana tiada keperluan.  Saya menggunakan Kids Space yang sedia ada dalam hp.

7. Setting Parental Control di Play Store


Kita juga boleh set Parental Control di Play Store. 

Buka play store
Tekan garis tiga
Cari setting
Pilih Parental Controls, On kan ia.
Masukkan nombor PIN.
Selepas itu, ikut arahan selanjutnya.


Selesai tujuh cara tetapkan kawalan penggunaan Apps di telefon pintar.



Jika bekeperluan bolehlah tetapkan apa yang patut.  Jika hanya anda sahaja yang menggunakan satu peranti itu, tidak perlulah. Namun, jika anak-anak anda juga sebahagian pengguna peranti anda, cubalah kerana fungsi ini benar-benar membantu.

Tapi, jangan lupa pesanan ini. Maklumkan kepada pasangan masing-masing supaya tidak timbul masalah di kemudian hari. Hal kecemasan dan sebagainya.

Bagaimanakah cara mudah mengurus kuiz Google Form supaya kesemua kuiz berada dalam satu fail?


Tahniah kepada guru-guru. Sejak Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan, kita telah menyahut cabaran pengajaran atas talian secara jarak jauh. Tabik spring toing toing kepada semua.


Ramai dah tahu cara membina kuiz di Google Form bukan? Seronok membina kuiz sehinggakan jumlahnya semakin bertambah. Sebulan PKP, 30 kuiz duk ada. 

Apabila perlu diakses, terpaksa buka fail satu-satu. Sambil buka sambil pening. Sebab terlupa nama fail kuiz tersebut.

Apabila dah bertemu fail tersebut, membaca responses dalam bentuk grafik mencabar juga. Jenuh tenung nak melihat data. Kecil benar. 


Adakah cikgu-cikgu alami perkara di atas?


Di post kali ini, saya tunjukkan cara kita mengumpulkan kuiz google form tersebut dalam satu fail yang sama supaya mudah dirujuk semasa perekodan PBD.

1. cikgu perlu membuka fail kuiz Google Form  di drive. (jangan lupa password email ya)

2. Kalau terlupa nama fail google form , terpaksalah cari di Search Drive.

3. Buka fail Kuiz Google Form. Buka responses.



4. Create a new spreadsheet (jika belum dibuat sebelum ini. Jika dah buat, terus klik saja)

5. Tukar nama spreadsheet ini supaya senang diakses. Sebagai contoh, Tugasan PKP. Ingat nama folder yang simpan spreadsheet ini. 


6. Cari Kuiz Google Form yang lain dan ulang langkah 2 dan 3.

7. Pilih responses, tekan spreadsheet (simbol berwarna hijau)


8. Jangan pilih create new spreadsheet, sebaliknya pilih existing spreadsheet.


9. Pilih spreadsheet yang dinamakan sebentar tadi. Saya letak namanya MCO quizzes. Saya cikgu BI. hehehehehe


10. Apabila paparan spreadsheet dah keluar, cepat-cepat rename di tab bawah supaya kita tidak lupa nama google formnya.


11. Jika ada lagi Google Form kuiz yang kita perlu satukan dalam satu spreadsheet, kita boleh ulang langkah 2-10.

Sekarang semua responses google form kuiz cikgu dah berada dalam satu spreadsheet.  Kini, cikgu boleh buka google form tersebut daripada file ini sahaja, sekiranya cikgu perlu membuat editan dan lain-lain.


Caranya:

Klik form. Di situ letaknya form cikgu dalam spreadsheet. Kita jarang perlu edit form sebab murid sudah pun menjawab. Kemungkinan yang kita akan guna ialah unlink form. Ini mungkin berlaku jika cikgu tiba-tiba dapat idea untuk satukan form ini dengan spreadsheet yang lain. 

Bagi guru yang telah membuat spreadsheet berasingan sebelum ini, cikgu boleh gunakan fungsi unlink form ini untuk menyekat akses spreadsheet yang dah dibuat sebelum ini. Tekan saja unlink form. Setelah itu, buka Google Form dan ulang langkah 2--10.

Setelah siap, cikgu bolehlah buka spreadsheet ini dalam drive menerusi laptop atau pun telefon pintar. 

Jika ingin akses dari telefon pintar, sila muatturun apps Google Sheets. Mudah diakses. Boleh buka saja dari apps.


apabila cikgu sudah mengakses spreadsheet, dengan ini, spreadsheet tersebut boleh diakses terus dari Google Sheets apps. Mudah sungguh.




Bolehlah cikgu-cikgu cuba ya. 

Di bawah video tanpa suara.


Silakan urus kuiz Google Form dengan cekap. Barulah hati senang. Kalau pentadbir nak tengok, kita share saja link spreadsheet ini. Selesai.

Sekian.

GIVING LIVE TO YOUR WORKSHEET- LIVE WORKSHEETS

Worksheet atau lembaran kerja adalah medium latihan pelajar yang biasa digunakan di dalam kelas. Oleh itu, guru akan mencetak dan memperbanyak lembaran kerja untuk diberikan kepada pelajar.

Pada ketika sesi persekolahan,  membuat persiapan dan menanda latihan di lembaran kerja seperti alah bisa tegal biasa. Namun, ketika negara masih berjuang menangani Covid19, agak sukar mengendalikan pembelajaran tanpa lembaran kerja. Itu yang saya rasa.

Di sini, saya ingin berkongsi satu laman web yang membolehkan lembaran kerja yang anda buat, digunakan secara atas talian. Lembaran kerja yang sama yang anda buat, tetapi sistem telah mengambil alih lembaran itu sebagai sebahagian sistemnya.

Kita hanya memberikan arahan kepada sistem, sama ada mahukan ia dalam bentuk Wordsearch, Drag and drop, Matching atau listening.

Di sini saya tunjukkan latihan yang saya hasilkan di Powerpoint, dan telah kembali 'hidup' dengan live worksheet. Di bawah adalah latihan yang telah dijawab oleh murid. Sistem siap menanda dengan pen merah lagi. Kerlasss.. hehehee.. tu yang nombor 10 tu.



Live worksheet tidaklah seperti quizizz atau Kahoot yang ada sistem setting masa dan animasi. Namun, kebolehan ia mengubah lembaran kerja kepada latihan atas talian amat mengagumkan.

Setelah pelajar menjawab soalan, mereka boleh pilih untuk melihat markah atau menghantar kepada guru. Jika mereka menghantar kepada guru, mereka perlukan alamat email guru mereka. Saya guna kaedah kedua, iaitu, murid menghantar di email.

Sebenarnya keputusan murid yang diemelkan itu, akan sampai ke akaun live worksheet anda. Kan langkah awal sebelum masuk live worksheet, kita perlu daftar email? Ini paparan pada notification.


Live worksheet juga boleh terus dikongsikan di whatsapp, atau google classroom.

Cara untuk menghidupkan lembaran kerja anda, seeloknya anda tonton video di bawah. Sebab setiap jenis latihan, ada caranya.

 Langkah pertama ialah, kena buka akaun dulu. 

Kedua, pastikan lembaran kerja dalam bentuk pdf atau image supaya mudah dimuatnaik. 

Langkah ketiga, muatnaik lembaran kerja. 

Langkah keempat, tengok video.


Langkah kelima, kongsikan lembaran kerja online anda sama ada salin pautan, hantar terus di whatsapp, embed dalam blog atau Google Classroom.

Siap!

Bonus, hari ini saya kongsikan pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang menggunakan live worksheet iaitu latihan di atas. (latihan ini saya tidak public kan) Jika cikgu  berminat, nanti minta anak murid emailkan di akaun live worksheet cikgu ya.

Latihan bertajuk Friends 
Sesuai untuk Tahun 1 dan Tahun 2
Bahasa Inggeris.

1. Murid menonton video. https://youtu.be/tZBnj7zazOk

2. Murid menjawab di live worksheet    https://www.liveworksheets.com/bz403950xo
