it's the fifth week..DISC (Designing for interaction and students' collaboration)
I enjoyed this week's class a lot..it was because we was able to create something really interesting and i would say challenging..creating a poster for the 50th Malaysia's independence day.The poster's theme is Malaysia my country.
It was actually a competition poster for 10 to 12 year-old primary school pupils, they are required to use microsoft power point to create the most creative poster.
And today we were given the opportunit to express our love and proudness towards our country MALAYSIA through poster.We have to design a A4 size poster, regarding our group's interpretation of merdeka and we have to justify our reason for each part in the poster we have created.
were given about half an hour to complete the task..and we did it, radically..hehe..that was because my group misunderstood what we were supposed to do..we did not use the pictures given in order to paste on our poster, besides, we took other pictures that signifies Malaysia and the developments she has gone through through out the years of merdeka..but we did ask for permission from the invited tutor that day,Puan Nazirah from MMU, and she's one of Prof's RM's student)and she allowed to use them..and at the end, we was the only group (WINTER) to present the poster in front of the class without following the exact rule..and that's why our poster has become the most eye catching one..
We did face difficulties during the session due to lack of idea to write a motto..but at the end we managed to write 'ONE LEGACY ONE DESTINY'.
Actually, the instruction given by the instructor,wasn't very clear enough to us..that's why we did to follow the exact rule..because we didn't know that we were supposed to attach the that they have provided on to oor poster. I would rather suggest that,it is practical if the pupils were allowed to use what ever source of pictures on to their posters, and not only restricted only to the pictures given.
If I were to carry out this design session with primary school pupils, of course i would allow the pupils to express their creativities based on their own choices, because i believe that children will be able to do better we they are given opportunity to do thing their way..That's it..take care!

Hi, Kak Nah, how are you. just drop by to have a read on your blog ^P^.
Well, i do agree with you that the Primary school pupils should be given rooms for them to express their creativity. However, perhaps the pictures can still be retain and the pupils are given a choice to either use it or to search for their own pictures. This is becuase I do believe that not all pupils have the ability to come out with/search for interesting and relevant picture for the poster.
Anyway, we are standing on the same line as we do think that it is ratehr important to cater to the pupils' creativity in the poster design.
kak na dearie..
though we did a mistake in designing the poster "in which we did not use the pictures given", but i still believed that the most essential thing here is that the valuable experience gained in designing the poster. am i right?? in addition, that's where i got to know u better!!
