The attack !!!

Well friends, I am very sure that you are all wondering about the title right? Actually, it has a very significant meaning with what I am going to write today. You see, on the 16th of July we had our second class for technology in the primary education class. To my SURPRISE, I found out that the video clip that we are working on is a group work. This is so as initially I thought that it was an individual work. I cannot hide the fact that I was relieved when I heard it was a group work. ‘Hehehe…. better for me, I thought’ as I am not that techno-savvy person you see. Nevertheless, I know that it meant more work for us to do as we (the group members) have to check on each other’s work and comment on it as our marks depends on it. I personally feel that it is a good idea to do so. Usually, when there is an assignment to do, there is a sense of competition. The breeze will tell you so. Now, it is an individual and group work. How? Yes, we have to proceed on the video clip and our friends have to scrutinise it and tell us the pro’s and corns of the video clip. Their ideas and opinions will enable us to improve ourselves and vice-versa. Thus, it leads towards cooperative learning and creates a sense of team work where all play an equal role in making the video clip into a success. So, I feel that this assignment not only help us to learn about video-clipping but also indirectly teaches us on the spirit of team work and critical thinking. As the saying goes, ‘Two heads are better than one’. Oh yes, coming back to the title, it was a kick in the teeth when I heard that it was a group work. I felt that I was attacked by a bombshell that dropped directly on my small head. The bombshell left a good impact though. Yes, it did! All that I was saying earlier. Aaa…haa… yes, about the cooperation thing is a beneficial bang on us. I really cannot describe how delighted I was when I heard about it. After the so called attack to me, we were left to proceed with the discussion. So my group members and I sat and discussed on what we were to do next. After the discussion, we started (individually) working on the video clip. However, here and there we will pose question to each to other seeking clarification about certain things. While starting to work on the video clip I realised that there is a lot of editing work that needs to be done. ‘It is not that easy that I thought it would be’ I remember saying this to myself when I started doing the video clip. Mind you I have not really got into the business yet and I am already telling that it requires a lot of work. Hehehe.. Basically, the class was enjoyable as we were given time to discuss and work on our video clip.
