Face or book or Face book?


Salam,
Yup, I agree that facebook can be used in teaching. For example, teacher may create his or her own classroom account, which consist of students profile. Thus, in that account, pupils can give their opinions, comments, or ideas on how to improve the teaching process to become more meaningful to them. So they can learn better...
But still, in my opinion, for me,from my honest thought, does it really so that important to use technology to get to know your students better? Let think for a while, ok. Mostly all of these technology usage(e.g=internet)can be found in urban area. What if there is no internet usage in one particular school in rural area? Ask the pupils to go to CC? wow...just to write some comments on how to improve the learning? wow... Think for a while...This is my opinion la..hope no one mad about it..hehehe... 
However, I do not say that technology is not good for teaching and learning okay.. just, for me, it depends on the situation also..if facebook be able to help teaching and learning proficiency become better, well why not we give a try,right?thats all from me..
Sory and salam....

How to enhance the usage of computer lab?


This may one the topic that I want to talk about before the class for this sem ends. There are many ways that teacher can promote pupils to use the computer lab:  
- The first way is teacher may bring pupils to the computer lab at least once a week.
- Teacher may asks the pupils to find something in the internet. For example surfing the    internet to find some info about the topic that they will learn in the future.
- Not only that, what teacher can do is teacher may integrate teaching technique which require some usage of the technologies. For example teacher may use Microsoft Power Point Presentation or Smartboard to show pupils about the topic in order to make the learning more meaningful to them. Thus, teahcer may use the computer lab to enhance more the usage of the sofwares.
So, it is crystal clear that there are many ways that teacher can use to enhance the usage of the computer lab for the pupils.

Future classroom?


Today topic is about my future classroom...
I would like to have a conducive learning environment classroom. In this class the pupils would be interested to learn and understand the subject. Yes, I agree that technologies play major role to enhance the pupils understanding about the learning subject and creates a future and technological classroom. But still, in my opinion it depends on the teacher himself. This is because it is vital for the teacher to know the best for the pupils in order to create a meaningful learning environment. For instance, if the usage of the technologies gives the same results( no improvement), it is better to find other alternative ways to teach the pupils. Therefore, it is wise for the teacher to be prepared and be ready to use the technologies as the medium of the teaching tools. By the end, teacher should consider many factors before starting to teaching the pupils especially with the usage of the technologies.
Until then...tata...

FISH Method...Ikan Kekek? No..


This is the week before Raya Eve...

Prof. teached us about FISH, not the live one but the method. Orait, FISH is a skill that provides the process, tools and language to generate the skills necessary to design a workplace full of inspiration, creativity and innovation. FISH! creates a common language. A language that will help improve your culture by using four simple practices Be There, Play, Make Their Day and Choose Your Attitude.

 FISH! is a wisdom that everyone can embrace. It is an invitation that enables people to care about each other and their commitments. FISH! is an ongoing journey. It is a practice and a skill that evolves over time creating a positive workplace for the people. 

Thus, relates it teaching environment, it is important for the teacher to create an environment that is not threatening for the pupils. So what teacher can do is teacher may integrate some activities that make us be there, play with them, make their day with a smile, and choose our attide since we will be their role model in future.

Changes.. Thanks Prof and other lectures..


Salam, thanks GOd because we are given more times to do our assigment. Nothing much to say, but still must keep up the good work. Till then, thanks again Prof and other lectures.
Don't worry, we will make use of the time THIS TIME very wisely..Hohohoho....
As we reflect on the story post by Prof. (duck and eagle), we must be rationale on what we are doing. I agree on what the story are all about, but still I have my own opinion. Sometimes complains can make people aware of what we want to propose, right?. We do not always want to be a passive person. So, do always reflect on our self. That's all for now untill we meet again..Salam..An eagle? I do not want to be an eagle. I am proud to be myself. An eagle did not have mind to think for its action, but a human must take full responsibility of his actions. So bye bye again..

Mistakes..What to do..Hahaha...

This week we are asked to go in front and present the best from our group. The guys choose me to present in front. Hahaha...actually I did not prepared it very well. There are lots of error in it. Before I present it in I already look into it. When I check it again I myself identified lots of errors. But still what to do, the others also did not ready yet. So, just present what I got. For me, I take it easy. This is because after been commented by the lecturers, I found lots of new things and I learn lots of new things. Some of it are the suitability of the layout, the fonts, the appropriate sentences for the target audience 'year one primary pupils'. As old people always say that 'Learn from the mistakes'. Therefore, from this quotation, it is a banchmark for me to correct the mistakes from what have I done. That's all for this time, thank you.Till then, Salam...

Smartboard again?


This is one of the time when we need to put our selves to higher momentum. Because we need to produce another work that using Smartboard. Wow, there is a lot work to do with this Smart Board activity. The requirements of the task must suits with our group activity such as the C.S., Learning Outcomes, and many more. Thus, we must keep up the good work. Till then, must work and work.Oh yes, I almost forget that there are some notes that were given by the lecturer for us to look into. The IWBs Tolley. In this notes there some ideas that we need to consider when we doing our Smartboard task. The ideas were divided into 3 part which are pART 1 (The Technical Bits), Part 2 (The Sofware), Part 3( Five Level of Interactivity), and Part 4( Twelve Teaching Technique). But the most thing that I found interesting about this notes is the 'Endnotes'. This part tells lots of thing for me to consider when I want create the activity using the SmartBoard. By the end, I hope that this task can help me to improve myself to make a good and interactive activity for my future primary pupils.
