  1. It was very thrilling to use Learning Trails as it was very easy to use and it is also very convienient. It is user-friendly and very easy to upload the photos, audio and videos I collected after a learning journey around the neighbourhood of Taman Jurong. E-trail can help me in learning when other people upload useful information about a place I can easily learn it. I can also learn more things about a country I am not familar with it, I can learn more about it.

  2. Using the LearningTrails™ helped me to input information more efficiently , as I am be able to put in videos , pictures and lots more after the learning journey around the neighbourhood of Taman Jurong. This way, when I take pictures during the learning journey, i can insert them into LearningTrails™ , helping me to organize the information I obtained better .
    I learnt how to upload things like videos and audio onto the Internet , and also how to resize videos and pictures. I think that using the LearningTrails™ can help to organize information better, and it is also a more efficient way of putting together the information. It is also very easy to use.

    From all this , I conclude that using the LearningTrails™ has really helped me in learning better.

  3. Learning Trails is user-friendly and easy to use. The site is simple and straightforward. :) Learning Trails lets us create points on places on the map, hence, we do not have to remember the exact places that we were at, making this a lot more easy for us. :) The Learning Trails Technology enables us to upload text, photos, audio recordings and videos. This will let us put these mediums of evidence and information records during field trips into the map on the points of the places that we were at for trips. :) I think the E-Trail can help us in learning as it firstly, helps us inmprove our sense of direction and geographical skills. The map in the site is a world map and it can help us further. Especially when we go overseas for different programmes that the school sends us for, the Learning Trail Technology can extend to different countries and help us find our way or even learn more about the particular country's geographical location. :) The technology in the site can also help us in learning because it allows us to add in text, pictures, videos and audio recordings into the map. This may help us as it the things we upload onto the map can help us represent the different places of the world. :)

  4. Using Learning Trails was interesting and it was different from other program.it was relatively easy to use and i learnt how to use most of its function in a few moments. We can use the points to describe the place and what the teachers said. E-trail can help us as we can write notes on different places to help us remember.We can also learn better as the notes we wrote can be about things like geography or history.In short, vltrek can not only help us learn better, it can also allow us to do our projects better and learn more.

  5. It can help me in learning as what is mentioned. It has map functions in it. It helps us have a better view of how the place look like. It also help us organise our infomation more neatly and easily. We learn how to insert video inside Learning Trails. It help people who is blind, as it produces sound so blind people could hear. For those who are deaf, they could use their eyes to see what I have written and what the videos have shown. So, it will be useful for all kinds of people.

  6. The learning trails platform is easy to use as i can see exactly where is the place i am going to put a point on. I can also put videos,pictures and sound clips in the description.The platform is also very simple as i can clearly see the buttons i have to press to perform certain functions

    I learnt how to post videos on the website so it can help me in media literacy so i can post my videos on that website so other people can see my videos and also comment on it.
    I have also learnt how to give useful and specific instructions by practicing on the "how to put a video on the learnings trails website"

  7. E-trail learning has helped me to understand SIngapore more well. I can even see where's my house from the map like thing. It is very easy to function as you can just type in the name of an address and it would appear in the screen. This makes it very convenient.

    I learn how to upload videos into the website. We can also post audio and text so that the blind can hear the audio and still understand equally much as the normal people. The deaf can read the text and even those who wants a alternate way of understanding they have a choice! This is much better for everyone. I hope i can learn more and upload different types of information.

  9. E-trail help me to know more about the community around me so I can know about the landmarks near my house.We can also put description so that people would be able to know more and would be able to learn more about the place vice-versa.
    E-trail also allows me to learn better as I can explore beyond the place where I live.It is like a map of Singapore but we can zoom in to see the place there will also be information on the place as people might have already written what they know about that place.
    Learning trail will be able to help me in understanding the place where i want to know because we can upload videos,audio to make it like we are in the place.

I can also learn more things about a country I am not familar with it, I can learn more about it. The video I uploaded can also help others to learn more about the place. I also learnt how to compress a photo if the size is too big to be uploaded on the site. I also understand how to upload a video and audio file onto the map. By doing this can help me to organise my information even better.

  12. Learning Trails is easy to use. It is also able to save loads of information for us. It allows us to make points on the maps and store information on that particular point. We can even upload videos or photos on that particular point. When we want to find that information which is on the particular point at the particular place, all we have to do is to type the name of the place in the search box. Then you would get to the place and you can retrieve the information. It is very useful as it can be extended to other countries. This ability is good as we would still be able to use Learning Trails when we go for overseas program.I think it can help me in learning as it is very convenient to the point that we can easily save our information inside without having to worry that the information would be lost. It can also improve our sense of direction and learn more geographical skills.

  13. It was actually very interesting as i had never used it before .
    The using of the map activity is actually quite the same with Google Earth .
    It had also helped me to understand the neighbourhood around the Taman Jurong Estate .
    It is also easier as it gives me a visual image instead of just plain words .
    I've also learnt how to upload images , audio and videos into the map .

  15. Through this lesson,I learn how to add points on the real Singapore maps, while uploading pictures, videos and audio recordings onto the map. This helps me in organising my informations better and also allow me to share the knowledge to the others. The viewers then can know the place the information is talking about from the pin point location I had mark on the map. This can allow those people who had difficulties in learning from the textbook as the audio or video make the learning journey more interesting and leave a stronger impression in them. This can also allow those who can't see to be able to hear the audio coming from the video and allowing them to learn at the same time with other normal kids.

  17. Learning Trails is very interesting it is also easy to use. I can upload the photos, audio and videos I have collected after the learning journey around the neighbourhood of Taman Jurong. E-trail also helped me to organize the information I obtained better. It is very convenient too as i can find a place just by typing the name of the location. We wrote steps on how we upload the audio. We also went around and commented on how others wrote their steps.

  18. This programme had benefited me. It is actually very easy. It is not that hard as I had thought of it at first. E-trail in my opinion is something like a blog, where we can upload anything we want.
    It can help me in our studies in the future. It includes in geography and also a little bit of history. It is mostly helping us to find directions in Singapore.
    It gives me help in terms of geographical skills. It is a map and it shows us the places and the directions around the country, Singapore.

  19. i have learnt through this lesson that we can add points and record things down at the location and points it out on the map.It is very convenient as we can mark a point at the place we record a certain piece of information or note down our observations and it can be seen by everyone.The others can know what we have learnt and noted down and share our findings.This way of learning is better as they can locate the place themselves and look more into it,rather than just listening to the person say it verbally.i have learnt that it has a lot of functions and is also easy to use.It is a fun way of learning and will enable us a deeper understanding.They can see for themselves the actual facts we posted and also the pictures.We can convey messages to those who don't understand by postng audio and videos,perhaps they can understand better as they can also have a more vivid image of what is going on.

  20. I learnt how to find places using Learning Trails. I also learn how to add point to the place I am finding.I learnt how to upload a video, picture or audio clip to the map. It has zooming function so it is very clear where the place is. It is even label like block numbers, schools and roads. It is very effective as you just have to type in the place you are looking for and the system will immediately point out where exactly it is. We can pin point the location we want others to look at on the map. It made studying maps even more interesting and leave a stronger impact on the students.

  21. In learning trail, I learnt, experienced and had fun. It was not that hard to use. Probably, anybody would be able to figure out the functions and features. I added a point to the location. Afterwards, I discovered how to add a video to the point for others to enjoy.

    In learning trail, I can also use it as a street directory. It acts just like google earth. I am able to see buildings in a bird's eye view. As well as what others have posted. I am able to share my information and learn from others.

  22. Using Learning Trails™ has made displaying the information i will collect after a learning journey around the neighbourhood of Taman Jurong easier. It is very easy as the programme is user-friendly. If I click a wrong button, it is easy to get back to the previous page. I think even if someone who has never used a programme like this before will be comfortable after using the programme for awhile. it is simple and sophisticated and the same time.I can upload so many different types of pictures, videos , audios,texts and in many different formats so its easier for everyone as sometimes all these things come in all formats and sizes. When someone uploads a picture, he or she will be able to share their learning to everyone so that everyone will learn through each other.

    Two ways that this has helped me learned better is that one, I can think in depth as I love using the internet and while i learn i can use the computer which makes learning for me easier. the other reason is that since it is the 21st century, everything has to do with the computer thus through these lessons, while i learn my subjects, i learn skills that will be important when i go out to work.

  24. After learning to use the learning trails, I know how easy it is to upload videos, pictures and audio recordings. It is very convenient and does not take much time.

    The Learning Trails enables me to upload information at a certain spot of where I visited.It also enables me to find a location in Singapore easily.

    This website is very helpful to me when I need to go to places which I have not been to before and it also shows me the locations of landmarks or MRT stations and bus-stops. It has given me utmost convenience and knowledge about an area.

  26. I learnt alot of stuffs through Learning Trails . It was very interesting as everything is done online and we can find the information we need very easily. For example, we can locate the place where we want to find just by clicking 'LOCATE'. We can upload audio,picture,videos to vltrek so we find the location by looking at the pictures . We also wrote the steps on how to insert an image so that other pupil can know how to insert a picture as we are the first batch of pupils to do this.
