My week 6 in techno classroom..


This is my 6th week in techno classroom. We just receive our new assignment that involving the usage of Smart board in the classroom. Wow, eventhough for me it is little bit tired because we just hand in our 1st assignment, but still this is the circle of life, right? So, never mind for me.Hehehe..
Ms. Chin showed us some of our senior Smart board interactive exercises. Honestly speaking, this is one of the way that enable us to further our understanding and clarification about the usage of Smartboard. Specifically, inserting some of the exercises into classroom activities or primary school topic.
Oh, I almost forget that before that Prof.Maznah reflected our 1st assignment. There are lots of thing that we managed to discuss about it. Also, there are lots of room for improvement in my 1st assignment as I realized where are the MISTAKES that I have done. Thus, thanks for her advices I be able to improvise my self in the next assignment. Till then, salam and bye...and above is one of my storyline in the making of my video clip.

The fifth week..SMART board & Video


During this week, we are supposed to hand in our assignment (video editing) on Wednesday. So there is not much to say but this is the first time I do and create video clip. My video clip basically is about introducing to the young language learners about present continuous tense. In that video, I include many movement that related to young language learners such as reading a book, drinking water, and playing football. I hope that it can be used for them someday.
Then, in this weekend we also learned about on how to use SMART board by using the new software. For me, the usage of SMART board in the classroom is one of the way that a teacher can do to enhance a one of the conducive classroom. There a lots of activity that we can use to make the pupils interact and to be involved in the lesson. The teaching process can be more fun and interesting as pupils can do lots of hands in activity on the SMART board. So the classroom environment would not bored and dull. Thus, by teaching us on how to use the SMART board at least can make us become more SMART teacher in the future.

Not only that, by showing some of these portal to me, I can use it as my references to further and updating my understanding about what is going on our educational system.

My 3rd week

This is my third week in technology classroom. The Miss Chin taught my friend and me about ASSURE model which is very important as we will be teacher someday whose will carry out and practice the National Philosophy of Education for the goodness of our students in the future.
As for myself, I felt that by introducing the ASSURE model to me, I will learn and know on how to analyze my future learners. For example the students’ interest and needs those are important for me to identify in order to find and deliver the knowledge to them.
Moreover, through ASSURE model I learned that the importance of stating the objective of my learning outcomes and learning objectives in my lesson plan. This is because I will know the condition of my students’ performance in the classroom. Thus, it easier for me to tackle the obstacles when I already know the outcomes before the lesson started.
Besides that, by selecting the correct methods, media and materials which I learned in this technology classroom, it reminds me to notify the existing materials that will enhance the development of the students’ proficiency.
In addition, after listening to Miss Chin's lecture about ASSURE model, it informed me on always to be alert and be able to evaluate and revise the before, during and after the lesson took place since this is important to assess the learners and media methods in order to find the suitable approaches to teach and generate the pupils’ proficiency.
In conclusion, through this third week of technology lecture, it teaches me a lot especially on how to practice and become one of the SMART teacher in the future.

Making Video Clip? Wow!!!

First and for most, there are many ways for a future teacher like me to teach and deliver the knowledge to the pupils. One of the best ways that teacher can implied it in their teaching classroom is through the usage of technology which is by showing video clips to the pupils. That is why by learning to create and make video clips can help me to build the pupils’ cognitive development since we can find that in video clips it already serve their viewers especially students with colourful and attractive pictures, interesting stories line, and varieties of audio or sound systems in it. For surely this can attract the pupils’ attention and make them to be focused on what we are trying to teach and say in front of the classroom. Thus, it is easier for teaching and learning process to take place in the classroom by showing the pupils some video clips.

Moreover, there are many strategies that a teacher can adopt and bring it out to the classroom by using video clips. For instance, we can tell a story by using video clip in stead of we use the usual and traditional way of story telling technique which is the usage of a story book. Therefore, with the usage of video clips in delivering a story, it can destroy boring and dull situations in a classroom and create conducive environment for teaching and learning process. Not only that, we can also upload cartoon and show to the pupils on how to appreciate friends such as ‘Spongebob Squarepant’ since this cartoon always indicate to the viewers to love their friends. Then, if we want to teach the pupils about occupation, we can use a song which has a storyline in it that entitled “Postman Pad”. This song teaches the pupils about the different occupation and their importance. Therefore, pupils can easily to differentiate the different kinds of jobs that they can found in their daily life.

In conclusion, through out these strategies I found that in order a teacher to share and deliver the knowledge and attract the pupils’ attention in the classroom, there must be a best way to deliver it. As for me, I strongly agree that one of the best ways to teach the pupils is with the usage of video clips. That is why it is crucial for me to learn on how to create a dynamic video clip since I will be a future teacher and without regrets I am saying this “I am very thankful to God that because of Him, by giving me this opportunities and chances to learn on how to create and make a video clip that can be useful in the teaching fields for the sake of my future pupils”.

Smartboard..18/07/2008

Smartboard or it's full name ; SMART Board interctive whiteboards. Really make everyone arround it look and feel smart. Why I say that?
This is because, it makes teching interesting thus easier to be absorb. It helps me to integrate digital information in teaching, presenting and brainstorming. This product improves learning and meeting effectiveness by enhancing communication nd stimulating students' enggement which saves time, effort and energy to prepare the resources.


When I imagine myself s a learner in a class that uses smartbord, it motivates me because of the very energizing presentation which involves reinforcement and 'mind map' kind of studying. Both the teacher nd learners can use vividly coloured electronic ink to highlight important information. It enables me, as a future teacher to write notes, insert diagrams, link to websites and save my work for future use.

I really enjoyed this class and cannot wait to see what I can do with all the features.This fantastic board can really generates learning to the learner's maximum level. Realistically, maybe when I gradute, I will not use it as not all school will be provided with this technology. But, never mind..at least I got to know and given the opportunity to interact with it.
That's all for today!
