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...
