Reflection : Multimedia in Education

Microsoft Paint is an application to draw picture on computer. SO, you don't have to use pencil and paper anymore to draw anything that you like.

You can also use Paint to work with pictures, such as .jpg, .gif, or .bmp files. You can paste a Paint picture into another document you've created, or use it as your desktop background.

In "Paint" there are many types or drawing input. We can choose many types of brushes that available. 

You will be provided with a white canvas and you can draw anything that you like!

As one who loves drawing, I found that Paint is very useful for me to fill my pastime when I got nothing to do.

Bitmaps

A bitmap image is a computer file used to store a picture. It consists of tiny blocks called pixels.

The first graphic shows vector image, while the second one shows vector image.

Vectors

Programs like Flash draw using vectors. A very simple vector drawing might look like the first picture of the "A" Graphic.

In a vector drawing, you create control points. The lines in a vector drawing are created by the software and join up the control points that the user has drawn.

A vector drawing is also can be used in Google Draw.

This is the example of using Google Draw (Vector).

This is the example of Vector Drawing usage. 

This is the example of Vector Based Drawing using Open Source Software.

According to Wikipedia :

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector", in this context, implies more than a straight line.

In the next post, I will brief a little bit about what I have learnt about GIMP software. Till then.

Reflection Week 7-8 : Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)

Today I learn about SPSS. At first I really have no idea on what SPSS is.
After I learn it, I have a little clue on what SPSS is

According to wikipedia,

SPSS is a computer program used for survey authoring and deployment (IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeler), text analytics, statistical analysis, and collaboration and deployment (batch and automated scoring services).

So, SPSS is used for data collection. As for teachers, they need to use SPSS to manage the students record like examination results and all that. With that, everything will be easier. The teachers can see the report on students achievement by extracting the information provided.

The is also frequencies on students achievement and the standard deviation. So basically, SPSS helps the teachers statistically.

As more me, I am using the SPSS for managing the data that I got from the Online Questionnaire.

It helps me to see the result of the questionnaire. We learn a lot from the SPSS learning and I hope I can apply the skills in my future.
