Who are you?


 
  This video introduces about my identity which is display in a music video with what had influenced me. Family had influenced me the most because they are the people who spend most of my life with. Also, physical trait, school, social and economic factors, geographic location/ nationality, media, and hobbies influenced me. I added many pictures that belongs to me and some are taken from flickr which was credit and I put many songs in the duration of 20 second each to not violate the owner's privacy.

Reflection about metacognition

Metacognition is a thinking about your thoughts, it examines what you're understanding and what you are not understanding while you are having a conversation or thinking aloud. When I'm doing metacognition exercises I really enjoy both type of exercises which are metacognitive conversation and think aloud. A metacognitive conversation is when you are being aware of their mental activity by describing and discussing it with others. Also, thinking aloud is when your discussing thing or say things out aloud of what you're thinking to help you complete the tasks. I really enjoy doing those activities like thinking aloud exercise by making up an animal in 60 seconds from using a clay. Even though, I enjoyed the exercise of thinking aloud, it also faced some difficulty. When I tried to say things out on what I think, it feels very weird because I don't usually say or share my thinking aloud. Metacognition would be useful for me, as a student, because it helps me think deeper to the topic I'm thinking, which makes me understand a lot of many things when I think deeper.
