Presentation Day

There is a quote say "The most beautiful moments always seemed to accelerate and slip beyond one's grasp just when you want to hold onto them for as long as possible." - by E,A. Bucchianeri. Brushstrokes of a Gadfly. Today we will present our website to the guest (representatives from RC Deaf Mission Malaysia and Taylor;s University).Before the presentation, we have conducted two meetings with group members. However, our first meeting is canceled because our leader Ahmed was not around the campus. We named him as "IT Guy". It is because he know a lot about technology stuff. He is very talented as he know how to create a website and use the tools to design the website. Therefore, when he is not around our progress will be slow down.

The second meeting was held on 29 of April. During the meeting, there are conflicts arose because of the different opinions and ideas shared by our members. For instance, Julian and I argued that we should make a video about RC deaf and put inside our website. However, there are few members disagreed and suggested not to put video. Some also suggested we should use the pictures from the RCDMM official website in our project. After the argument, Ahmed suggested that we should use our group photos in our website. Besides, he also suggested to insert testimonies and different types of post, for instance, pinned an gallery. He will then add in Facebook like box together with Instagram and Twitter and Blogger. Thus, the social media user can access to our website. It shows the teamwork spirit and we believe it would attract more viewer.  After 2 hours and a half of meeting, we have done with our website and ready for the presentation.

During the real presentation, our presenter Julian and Ahmed went smoothly in their speech. It is because we have a rehearsal before the presentation. The other groups also doing fine in their presentation too.

In the end of the presentation, it is awful to know that we do not get any price from the guest. However, I have learned skills like aware of and form opinion from diverse perspective in this process. I had found out that it is very difficult to communicate with your members if we do not open our mind and accept the ideas of others. Nonetheless, I have learned thinking and problem solving skills with my members. Despite we have conflicts during the meeting, but we are still able to manage to complete our Website and presentation. Moreover, I have learned how to effectively use of information and communication Technology (ICT) and related technologies. We have learned how to creates a Website in this project. In my opinion, this is the best reward for me. I am glad to have such opportunity to work closely with the deaf people. Form that I have gained a lot of emotions and precious knowledge from deaf people. They are actually very friendly and wanted to make friend with us. I hope we can raise awareness for them so that people form the outside world will know more about them.
