How to promote students to use computer lab.


Almost all of schools in Malaysia are equipped with computer labs. There are activities that can promote students to use the computer labs. First is blogging. Blogging requires pupils to do reflections on the lesson that they have learnt. They also can exchange their ideas and knowledge by blogging. When pupils are encourage to have their own blog, they will have the motivation to update their blog frequently and this can make them to make use of the computer labs. Besides blogging, the used of children's software can encourage teachers to bring their students to the computer labs. In computer labs, pupils can try to access the software on their own. There are a lot more activities that can be done in computer labs. It depends on teacher to initiate and encourage the pupils.

Sampling of products

For this week class, we have to choose the best product from our group to present his or her work for the assignment 3. Unfortunately my product is not ready yet so i give chance to my friends to show their work to the class. The presentation really helps me as it gives me ideas for the activities and i can see that my friends have given their best effort to do the assignment even though there are some aspects that can be improved such as font size, font colours, pictures and many more. After each presentation, Prof. Maznah, tutors and we gave comments on the good things and things that can be improved. Even though i did not present my product, the comments that were given can be as a guidelines for me to check back my activities. Talking about my product, so far i think i have finished 80% and right now i am doing the final activity. Hopefully i can finish it by today as after this i have to do the justification of the product. Hmm..still more work to be done. Good luck for me and also to all m friends!!!

Latest Progression of Assignment 2

For the assignment 2, i have decided to choose "Prepositions" as the topic and it is meant for year 4 pupils. I already have the plan on activities that i will be included but it is so sad that i am not started it yet. Hehe...Actually, for the past two weeks, i was learning and exploring on how to use the smartboard software as i never use the software before. Before this, i just watching the presentation that had been done by other people. I found it was quite difficult for the first time but as i was exploring it, it was getting better. I hope that when i was familiar and get used with it my assignment can be done smoothly. I just need to transfer my idea that i already have in my mind into the presentation. Good Luck for me!!!

ICT and The Learning Principles of the Primary School Curriculum.

Last Wedenesday lecture had given me an overview on the three approaches ways in using ICT in teaching and learning, the aims of ICT use in Primary School, the principles of learning and teaching and learning strategies using ICT. The understanding of the 17 principles of learning can assist teachers on deciding the suitable activities using ICT that match with the principles. One of the principles is collaborative learning. The suitable teaching and learning strategies using ICT are by using e-mail,video conferencing. The principles of learning are vital for teachers to enhance their teaching and learning as well as to ensure that the use of ICT is embedded in learning. As for me, the lecture had given me some knowledge that can help me to construct lesson activities for the assignment. It gave me ideas that children like something that can arouse their curiosity and familiar with them. They also like to explore things by themselves.

Interactive Whiteboard



I have read the article on "The use of interactive whiteboards in school". The article consists of four parts which started with the introduction of the technical things such as projector,screen, remote operation and sound systems. It gives the overall view on the use of those technical things and how to operate with it. I think is useful for me as i myself do not really familiar on how to operate with all those things. At least i have some theoretical background about it.
The second part of the article tells about software that can be used for interactive whiteboards which are "IWB operating software", the support tools, the generics tools, interactive programmes and remote access. In my point of view, before using the interactive whiteboard, it is really essential to have knowledge of all of this softwares so that we can produce the lesson smoothly and effectively.
The third part is about the five levels of interactivity. It can help teachers to determine the level of interactivity of their lesson and how to make sure that their lesson are interactive enough.
The last part is about the twelve teaching techniques. These teaching techniques are the teachniques that can be applied using the interactive whiteboards.Some of the techniques are hard to be used in a usual classroom but the interactive whiteboards allow the teachniques to be used and it can ensure effective teaching and learning process.
After reading this article it give me some guidelines on how to prepare a lesson using the interactive whiteboards.

First Video Ever...

It is very exited to see my video in the youtube. I never thought of doing my own video and show it to the world. Even though the video is not superb as anyone else but i am satisfied and proud with myself. I have done my best and i think the video is a good starting for me. From nothing to something is suitable to describe about myself right now. I have learnt many things in the process of making the video. i have learnt to use the Windows Movie Maker software and also the softskills such as time management and leadership. Even though i make the video myself but team work is also essential as the group members who are helping me to give comments about the video and teaching me in using the software. In a nutshell, this assignment is very interesting and it can be a first step for me to be a techno savvy. ^_ ^

The Smartest Board of All..

Smart board is not alien anymore among us. This is the second time Fenny give us explaination on the application of the smart board..Everybody seems very tired after staying all night long last night finishing their video assignment. However, Feeny has succeed to wake us up with the amazingness of the smart board. This time around, she shows us the new version of smartboard software which is more sophisticated. In my opinion, smart board is really useful for us as teachers. It helps us to create interactive and interesting lesson. Children will really love the activities using the smart board. I hope that all schools in Malaysia will have smart board in thier school at least one so that what we have learnt today can be applied.

Websites discovery..

Today's lecture has given me precious input on a few websites that can help teachers especially in providing meaningful resources for teaching and learning process. For example, TV Pendidikan website provide many videos on almost all subjects that can assist students to learn in more interesting way yet meaningful. Portal Pendidikan Utusan also is very helpful for teachers as it provides questions bank that suits with the latest curriculum and format.
I'm sure there are a lot of websites that have been designed for teachers. All of these websites are produced in order to help teachers to have an effective teaching and learning process.

How me as a teacher will be learning??

As a teacher, i admit that technology really helps teachers as a tool to impart knowledge. It gives variation in teachers' teaching and learning style which can make the lesson more effective. Technology provides resources that can be used as teaching aids to make the lesson more interesting, enjoyable and effective. Therefore, as teachers we must learn and explore the technology and try to use it in teaching and learning process.

How technology is going to affect my students to learn

In my point of view, technology really affects students in their learning in a way that technology provides freedom to students to explore and be more independent in their learning. By using technology, students can learn beyond the curriculum as well as keep their knowledge up to date anytime and anywhere they want without waiting or depending on their teacher only. Technology also make learning more exciting and enjoyable especially young learners as they like to explore something new.
