Regarding MS word Activity.                                         Date: 3-09-15

When our Tutorial Mr. Changa Tshering up loaded the MS word Assignment question in the VLE, first of all I thought it is given for practice only. I still have doubt because sir had mention about the marks. Then I made a personal call to sir and then our sir is so kind to clarify my doubt. After that I took it seriously to do each and every activity in detail. Whenever I face problem I try to get help from my IT teacher. He is very helpful and supportive. I did all the activity by myself and later I compiled it in one folder and send through VLE.

This activity help me a lot especially on how to paragraph, drawing and data base like mail merge etc. I would like to thank our tutor for giving such great topic for us to practice and earn mark la.

Wiki Address

 I face tough time to create wiki address. I ask help form my friend in VLE forum discussion but there was no support. I even try to get help from my  IT teacher but he also have no idea .Later I went to Paro NIE, to get help from IT lecture. He told me to go to Google.bt.com and then type URL-http://sites.google.com/sites/ then he told me to create wiki address. This is how I have created wiki address and later it was very useful to me because all our group work are discuss in this wiki. So for that I on behalf of group would like to thank our tutor Mr. Changa Tshering for giving all this new topic la. We all enjoy doing it la.

My wiki address is http://sites .google.com/sites/tashisamwiki.

Regarding the project Work 1 and 2.                                     Date: 20-09-15

  Project I Topic: Create interactive Flash-based quiz using wonder share quiz Creator. In your quiz there should be 20 different questions having minimum of two questions each from 9 different question types. You have to add animated images, Flash movie and sound effects to polish and enhance your quiz with comprehensive properties.

In order to carry out the above given task first of all we the group members decided to download the soft ware called "Wonder share quiz Creator" in our own laptop and then I look into the 9 different question style. I took almost 1 hour to study about it and got help from one of my IT friend on how to go ahead. 

After that I started to prepare my quiz question with these 9 different question type and then I shared with my group member in wiki and my group member also did the same thing. We all discuss about our own quiz among our group friends and decide which one to send for the final draft. After selecting for the best topic then we compiled it and make the final version. The topic that we had chosen was “General Knowledge of Bhutan”.

4.      Project II Topic: Using Camtesia studio 6. Record and produce your own video Tutorial of 15 minutes time on any particular lesson/Topic. You need to edit and add some of the effects to your video tutorial.

In the second project II, we decide to do the tutorial lesson on the topic about the “Nature” and there are four sub parts and our group member decides to take each part. We are almost ready to send but one of my group members Madam did not agree about it. She mention that this lesson is not exactly tutorial lesson, it is exactly like power point presenting and again we decided to go for another topic this time we have chosen  for mathematic topic “Tessellation” and now we have almost done with it. After compiling the tutorial lesson and then we published it and then on 9^th October at around 8.30PM we jointly sent it through VLE.

By doing these two projects work, we learn a lot and worried a lot too. Thinking that it won’t be possible. But everything went well due to hard work shoulder by different group members. Once again I on behalf of group member and my own behalf would like to thank our tutorial Mr. Changa Tshering for giving such a wonderful topic la. We really learn a lot la.
