WEEK 14 - Student Database


Assalamualaikum....

This will be the last of my computer in education course. So far....I really did enjoy in doing all my assignments from the beginning of week 1 until today. There are so much knowledge about ICT that I gain from this course.

Okay, moving on, for this week assignment we were asked to create a database for students using OpenOffice.
First of all, we need to click on the database on the OpenOffice


Then, we need to create 4 tables: Student, Family, Curriculum and Co-Curriculum.
We need to choose *create form in Design View*

When we click on that, some like in the picture below will appear:

In the table, we need to fill in the Field Name and Field Type. As an example, if we want to create a table for student, we need to fill the Field Name with 'No.Matrik' , 'Student.Name' and so on. We also need to set up a primary key for the table. For us, we will choose the 'No.Matrik' as the Primary Key for all the tables. After we have finish with it, the table will look something like this:


We need to create 3 more tables for *family*, *Curriculum* , and *Co-Curriculum* with the same method that we use to create the Student Table.

After we have finished will all the 4 tables, the tables will appear like this:


Next step will be to create a form for *Student* , *Family* , *Curriculum* and *Co-Curriculum*
To create a form, we need to click on *Use Wizard to Create Form*

When we click on that menu, something like the picture below will appear:


Then we can choose the table that we want to add in our Form. As for example, to make a *Student Form* , choose the *Student Table*. After that, we can click on *Finish*. We can also choose the layout of our Form by clicking on the *Arrange Control* on the left side menu.

When we have finish, the form will look like this:

Create 3 more forms for *Family* , *Curriculum* and *Co-Curriculum*. After we have finished all, we can all the forms on the Form section:



We also need to create a 'Relationships' for all the 4 tables that we have made so that all the for table will be connected. To create a 'Relationship' , click on the 'Tools' menu then click on the 'Relationships'. When we have click on that, something like the picture below will appear:


When we have done with the relationships, we can proceed on filling in all the 4 forms. We need to *save* all the detail that we have fill in the forms. When we have finish filling in all the forms, it will look like this:


Student Form


Family Form



Curriculum Form:


Co-Curriculum


After finished all the form, we will proceed in creating a *Queries* for student, family, curriculum and also Co-curriculum. To create a queries, we need to click on the *Use Wizard to Create Queries* .


When we click on that, something like the below will appear:


As we did previously for Forms, we also need to select which table that we want to add on our Queries and when we have done, just click on *Finish*

After we have finish with it, our Queries will look like this:

Do the same for the rest of the queries for *Family* , *Curriculum* and also *Co-Curriculum*. When we have finished with all the Queries, we can view all of the Queries on the Queries section.


After we have finished with the Queries, we continue by creating a report for *Student* , *Family* , *Curriculum* and *Co-Curriculum* .

To create a report, click on *Use Wizard to Create Report*


When we click on that, it will appear like this:

WEEK 13- Microsoft Excel


Assalamualaikum...

For week 13, we will focus on microsoft Excel because as a "teacher to-be" it is important to learn and to now the simple basic on how to used Microsoft Excel.


Our first task was to create our own monthly financial plan for a year using microsoft excel. Below are the process on how I did my monthly financial plan.

The step:

1. Create a column for date and also make a column of the list of what you spend the most during the month for example, food, other necessities, top-up, educational book and etc.


2. Then, we add the column for 'Total Spending' And for this column we need to create a formula to make the column for 'total spending' to calculate automatically the sum of our spending for a day.

To create a formula, first we need to set put the symbol '=' in the cell column and then we can proceed in creating the formula by clicking on the symbol *fx* and then choose the formula that we want, for example in this case, we want to add up all the total of our spending for that particular one day, so we need to choose the formula *SUM* and then click the cell that we want to include in the formula for example: (C5+D5+E5+F5). So, the overall of the formula will look like this =SUM(C5+D5+E5+F5)


Next, after we have created the formula that we want, we can scroll the formula down until it reach the position of the cell that we want.


3. Make a column for our 'Allowance' and also 'Last Month Saving' where in this section, we will focus 'money coming in' during the month.

Same as we did previously, after we have put all the data of our 'allowance' and also our 'last month saving', we also need to create a formula to calculate the total of our saving for that particular day.

When we want to total up our savings for that particular day, we also need to create a formula. For this case, we also need to use the formula 'SUM' because we want to total up all our savings from our allowance and also from our last month saving. However this is for the first column.


Then we scroll the formula down until it reach to the cell that we want.



4.Then for the finally, we need to create a column for our total saving (money going in - money going out)

The formula for this column would be *=SUM(I3-G3)* that is *money going in - total spending*

Then, after we have finished all the column, our monthly financial plan will look something like this:


Below, are the link of my monthly financial plan on google doc.



Our 2nd task for this week was to create a students grade also by using Microsoft Excel. First of all, we need to create a table for 'Student names' , 'Subjects' , 'Marks' , and the 'Grades' as below:


Then, we need to create a grade table for the student marks.The grade table will look something like this:

To add the students grade into the column, first we need to define this grade table by highlighting the Grade Table and clicking on *Insert - Name - Define* and name the grade table as Grade . Then, after we have define the Grade Table, we can proceed in adding the students grade in the *Grade* column by creating a formula.

The formula that we used for the student grade will be *=VLOOKUP(marks,grade,2) for example as the picture below:


Then we can just drag the grade column until it reach the cell that we want. Then we continue to do the same method for the rest of the subjects.

Then we can add another table for *Average* , *Standard Deviation*, *Minimum* and *Maximum* . After we have create the table, it look something like this:


Then to fill in the Average, Standard Deviation, Minimum and Maximum column, we need to define the column for all the subject marks and the subject grades.

Then, we create the formula for:

Average : * =AVERAGE(Marks_bm) *
Standard Deviatior : * =STDEV(Marks_bm)*
Minimum : * =MIN(Marks_bm) *
Maximum : * =MAX(Marks_bm) *

After we had have create all the formula, the table will look something like this:


When we have finish will all of the tables, the overall sheet will look like this:


Below are the link of my Student grade Sheet from my google doc:

WEEkK 11 and WEEK 12 - Multimedia Presentation (Portfolio)


Assalamualaikum to all.

This week me and my classmates have been asked to do a multimedia presentation and also to create a showcase portfolio for the assignments that we have done so far.

First, we were asked to create a powerpoint about our topic from Assignment 1 (Original and Licensed Software) with our own creativity. In this powerpoint, we must include all the information that we have learn for our topic. After we have finished creating our powerpoint, we were asked to present and share it to the rest of the classmates.



Second, after we have finished our first power point, then we were asked to create another presentation using Impress and present about or Mini Research in assignment 5. Here, we must include all the findings that we had found from our research and the methods that we used for the research in week 7-8. The function between microsoft powerpoint and also Impress are almost alike but however impress has more additional functions than powerpoint.


We need to add some animations to our presentations, and also some audio and video to make our slides more lively and creative. For those who have expert in using powerpoint and also impress, it would take less time for them to make a presentations than those who are still learning in using it. As for me, i'm still in a learning process in making a presentation using powerpoint and also impress.

After we have settled creating 2 presentations for original and licensed software, now we can proceed in making our portfolio showcase portfolio. This is the part where we can show our own creativity and skills to our lecturer.

In this showcase portfolio, we need to include all the assignment that we have done that is our assignment from week 1 until week 14. We also need to add animation, audio and video to the presentation so that it will show our creativity.

This presentation will be created using microsoft powerpoint.



When we have finished create our showcase portfolio, we then burn it into CD and create our own CD label. After we have completed everything, we then submit our show portfolio CD to our lecturer.

Below are the process on how i made my own CD label:

Assalamualaikum to all.
Alhamdulillah now we have come to week 5. Thanks to Allah for helping us along
the journey.This week assignment on computer in education involves doing a research
on our sub-topic from assignment 1 (for my group, Original and Licensed Software)
on UKM subscription research Database, google scholar and also on google books.
We were asked to search 2 journal articles from UKM subscription research Database,
1 journal from google scholar and 1 book that is related to my group sub-topic from
google books.

UKM Research Database:


Google Scholar:


Google Book:







My journey in doing the research above:

I have to admit, this week assignment is a little bit tough and difficult, especially in
finding the journals in UKM research database. It takes me for hours to find any journals
that is relevant to my group's sub-subtopic. There were some articles that need to be
purchase in order to download the journal articles. So, I need to be wise in finding the
journals that is free and relevant to our topic.

Next Step:

After I have find all the important and relevant informations from the journals and
book, I need to share those informations with my partner, my classmates and my lecturer
in my Facebook group. Me, my partner and my classmates need to discuss about the
article journals and books that we have found.

Then, after the discussion had finished, we can now proceed on doing a report about
our sub-topics based on the article journals and books that we have found from the
internet. The report should be done using Open Office Writer. I do not have that
software in my laptop, so I need to download that software first before I can proceed
on doing my report.

To Download Open Office Writer:

  • Search on www.google.com = Download Open Office Writer.
  • Then, click on the link that you think is relevant to your search. From there, you can automatically start downloading the open office writer to your laptop.
  • After finish downloading it to your laptop, you need to install the open office writer in order for you to be able to use that software.
  • When you have done installing the software, the open office writer are ready to use.
Write a report about original and licensed software using open office writer based on the article journals and books what you have found in the internet. Then after I have finished writing my report, I convert my report document into PDF. Lastly, I upload my report into my Yahoo Group and I also share my report in my google doc.
