seventh class reflection

Hello.

Effective teaching and learning process in the today's education environment stems from wise and successful utilization of technology resources. Therefore, the seventh class emphasized on understanding of ICT roles and its application for the classroom . In other words, the role of ICT in developing a successful learning experience in the classroom is inevitably crucial and teachers as well as teachers to-be like me must acquire and master the knowledge and skill pertaining to the subject. The right principles which parallel with the ICT concept and utilization must be adhered so as to produce the effective result in the classroom teaching and learning process. This principles include taking into consideration of all the related and important aspects such as pupils' interest, prior knowledge, family background, proficiency level and ICT awareness particularly on the how much they know about the application.

As today's education environment requires all the levels to be equipped with ICT equipment as well as literacy on the application, rural places are also provided with the necessary ICT facilities to help the pupils develop a successful learning experience in the school. In other word, interactive learning process such as the use of internet sources to help the pupils understand and enjoy the subjects helps to achieve the aims and objective of the lesson. Apart from the ICT topic, we were also clarify by the lecturer and tutors concerned on the third assignment. It was very helpful and clear on what we have to do. In addition, tutors helped us whenever we felt confused with the assignment. Kudos to lecturer and tutors.

All in all, the seventh class was an informative class in the sense that I realized that, it helps me to understand the role and application of ICT in the classroom teaching and learning process better and clearer. In addition, good understanding of the concepts and application helps to boost moral aspect as well as creating the characterictic of a successful learning experience for both the teacher and the pupils.

6th class reflection

Hello.

Evaluation or reflection after the implementation part is a common process in identifying the weakness and strengthening the positive side. Therefore reflection on the second assignment is a need in order for all the parties concerned, to look into the problem arise, new skills and knowledge acquired before, while and after the assignment and matters pertaining particularly to the work. In addition, since we are the first groups that were given this task, it is necessary for us to provide feedback to the lecturer so that they can improve and rectify any problems from occurring in the future.

The lecturer concerned helped to address and elicit the problems and skills such as application used in the process, good and bad experience upon trying the software and completing the assignment as well as developing skills like for example, photo editing, converting, voice over narration, scanning and file sharing through ‘Yahoo! Messenger’ and not forgotten video editing skills. In addition, soft skills were also built through the assignment. This includes drawing, communication, team work, critical and creative thinking as well as entrepreneurship. Besides that, we were also given time to prepare and explore the SMART board application for the next assignment.

In the end, I realized that, learning new things requires characteristic such as patience and hardworking in order to reap the best benefit of the experience. Without it, one can never move forward and become a successful individual in this fast changing education environment. Skill and knowledge that are deemed essential in providing students with successful learning experience must be utilized to the optimum level so that we will be able to achieve the National Education Philosophy and Vision 2020 successfully.

fifth class reflection (SMART board training)

Hello,

The use of effective and efficient technology in the classroom is inevitably crucial, for it is every teacher’s wish that their pupils will be able to experience a successful learning experience in the school. Therefore the use of SMART board is a smart choice for teachers regardless of races and nation all over the world. Teacher and teacher to-be like me have to have the knowledge and understanding of its application in the classroom in order to achieve the National Education Philosophy successfully.

The fifth class basically centred on the SMART board training. Before this, we were already experiencing the training while we were in the maktab. But what differentiate this SMART board class was the use of newer version which was more interesting and practical in the sense that some of its features are tailored to meet the needs and requirement of specific subject and pupils. For example, its tools and application can be adjusted for the pupils particularly if the pupils were not able to achieve specific application due to their height.

Other newer application included the duo screen which can be used for mathematic subjects as well as other subject that require its use, magic pen which can be use as magnifier (a feature that was not present during the first SMART board training) and page recording where the teacher can write the process like for example Mathematic problem solving and record it. This actually helps the teacher in saving time and energy which can be put into better use of the classroom teaching and learning process.

We were also provided with the SMART board website which is beneficial for all of us as it contain features such as ’Teachers’ Hub’, ‘SMART video’ and ‘SMART Exchange’ where we can download lessons created by teachers from countries such as UK, USA and many more. All this helps in ensuring the success of using the SMART Board application in the classroom.

In the end, I realized that, even though all this technology and invention helps to save time and energy, it does not mean that the technology can substitute the teacher as the primary instructor and facilitator of pupils learning experience. In addition, teachers and teacher to-be like me must not use it for the wrong purposes and become lazy and unenthusiastic in the teaching and learning process.

Thank you.

fourth class reflection

Assalamualaikum and hello

The fourth class explores the use of educational website and its importance to the education field particularly the teaching profession. Since the emergence of gloabalization in our country through technological influence such as internet, the need to provide the educational field with up-to-date resources and material in order to enhance the delivery and creation of successful learning experience is a must. The creation of website that promotes teacher’s teaching profession, sharing of educational ideas and self improvement such as http://eduwebtv.com/, http://cikgu.net/, and many more helps to develop a dynamic environment which could have not been realized in the early days.

In particular, these websites provides some videos deemed to be helpful in giving understanding as well as ways on how to ensure efficient flow of the classroom teaching and learning process. One of the most important aspect of this website was it is based on the Malaysian context which provided real life and practical knowledge of the teaching and learning process. This aspect is essential for teacher-trainee like me where the exposure to the real life classroom situation helpful in building essential teacher characteristic. Besides that, the website such as cikgu.net also houses simple games that help to make the website interesting and alleviate boredom of conventional education website.

All in all, the website introduction and exposure was really beneficial in developing the skills and knowledge required by teachers nowadays in order to cope with the fast changing educational scenario. In addition, all this is necessary so that the country can achieve the vision 2020 envisioned by the ex-prime minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad. Thank you to the lecturer and friends for helping me.
