the last reflection

1. What they like about blogging.

I think I like blogging for it gives me the opportunity to share experience with others as well as to read others’ reflection of what they do..
2. What they do not like about blogging.

If I was given choices..i would rather choose writing a diary than blogging..because I don t like looking at the screen to type words..but I can write diary anytime when I feel like doing so..i don’t have to wait for the internet connection..it is much easier..

3. What have they gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

I think that blogging is more to technology than anything else..it helps people to share their own experiences using the sophisticated medium..this is the easiest way to connect with local people but, over the world..the most important thing is, it helps in education, whereby, it can facilitate the pupils to share their works with friends and lecturers.

4. How?

Teachers can save the URL of the pupils to check on what they have done throughout the year..so that we can reduce the use of papers and teacher can also give comments on the pupils’ works.

5. what they like about the course

The thing that I like about the course is learning how to edit audios, photos and videos..i really can use this in my daily life and school..it is worthwhile to learn these all..it is not mere knowledge but it helps me to enjoy using the existing technology to do what I like..for instance I can be where I want to be using the photo editing..i can make my photos clear and flawless too..

6. what they do not like about the course

Maybe the internet connection…the rest is just fine =)

7. what they have learnt from the course.

I learnt about the power of the technology to share and to use links to make others look at our experience and give comment, basically…I learn about softwares and how to download and upload thing in the internet..

8. what they do not expect but have learnt from the course?

I do not expect to do editing works that I did not imagine before but now I can master it easily and use my creativity to make desirable things..


9. what they expect but have not learnt from the course?

Maybe the use of traditional resource materials..i am still lacking in producing materials that are non-technology..

10. if they can change anything about the course, state what it is and explain.

I don’t think that I had one but I think madam Fauziah can balance the use of tehnology and non-technology materials.=) that’s all..

week 14

today we have a test and i'm glad that we almost finish the semester=) thank god that i manage to do it well..now i'm buzy compiling the tasks that i have done to be put into the portfolio..

the portfolio is a rather good task that we are able to see our own work throughout the semester..there are so many things that i have learnt, such as photo editing, video editing, e-book, audio editing and so on. i have zero knowledge in most of the fields that i feel that this course is veru beneficial for me. .i really hope that i can use this knowledge leter in my daily life in order to make my lesson interesting to attract the learners..

the portfolio also teaches me to be a systematic person that i have to arrange it nicely and put labels or the compartments for every task..this will help to easly to flip and to it everytime i want to look at it again an again..i will always use this skill to make my work easy to use later..

week 13

thank God that i managed to finish my assignment and hand it today..i experienced some difficulties in completing this assignment especially the internet problems..i hate it so much when there is no internet connection..

today, we are exposed to the children softwares that are intended to make learning more feasible in classrom and at the same time to allow the pupils to gain knowledge in a relaxed way..
this softwares are not only captivating but they engage the pupils in a very wholesome learning that they can participate in problem solving activities and gain new vocabulary in a fascinating activities..

these kind of softwares will not only help the pupils to learn and engage in learning, but it also assists the teacher to control the pupils throughout the lesson..me as a teacher aso feel relished during the class because the input or language is easily consolidated withou stress if the softwares are going to be used in the future classroom.

week 12

today Mdm Foziah feel surprised that most of us did not complete our third assignment yet..yeah, i should admit that we all feel that the eid holiday was so short that we cant manage to focus on the assignment yet..

this week is a week before the Eid Mubarak..now i feel so lazy to study and do the tasks.. i only think of 'lemang', 'ketupat' and cookies=)
however, i should focus on the third assignment..lesson plan..
lesson plan is the part and parcel of a teacher life..everyday's teaching should be referred to the lesson plan in order to ensure that the important input is consolidated and the teacher can carry out the lesson in a systematic way..the most prominent thing is the lesson plan assist the teacher to keep pace with the lesson and to ensure that nothing is left out..
my topic is 'Making Friends'..it is year one topic..it is not that easy to do it for i've never done any lesson plan for year one classroom..so that i hope that i can find a textbook to refer to and create an effective lesson plan to be taught to year one pupils. .
