Two inspiring stories for everyone....

I’ve been very quiet due to the hari raya craziness, however it’s not too late to wish everybody Selamat Hari Raya and maaf zahir batin. Now, I really want to talk a bit about the two touching and a very inspiring stories post by Prof. Maznah; thanks to that, you make us realize something that we may overlook later when we are already in the field of teaching. Though I’ve given some comments in the ADEC, but I still do want to contribute and share some opinion with other in this blog. Ms. Thompson is a very lucky woman and teacher when she did aware of her mistake and willingly to change, but compare to us nowadays, we always think that we are doing fine and there’s nothing left to be change inside ourselves. For me changes should take place from bad to good and negative to positive attitudes; no matter whether it is the way you think or act. Those who take things and view and obstacles in live positively, they will make others happy as well as lessen the problem. Besides, for it’s so easy for the ‘duck’ to be an ‘eagle’, but the most difficult thing is on how the ‘duck’ want to do in order to stay be like and ‘eagle’. It might be sound confusing, but let me explain; it may look so easy for a bad person to change into good person, but the question is, how he or she would do in order to stay good. However, let’s pray to Allah that we will always be and ‘eagle’ and not the ‘duck’.

Smartboard+Smartstudent

Now, I have almost done my smartboard assignment. Now, I felt a little bit relief…. But, I still waiting and thinking of the final touching for the presentation. This task is very challenging as I have to make the task as interactive as it can. I have to makesure that I am not “Syok Sendiri” while teaching by using the smartboard. The task should be able to invite students’ active participation. Now, I’m working toward it. Besides, I’m trying to attract their attention by using big and colourful fonts, animations and clear cut pictures. So, let’s work together in creating the smartstudents in using technology(smartboard) while having fun in gaining knowledge.

Smartboard task....

This is a very great opportunity for us since we were given a chance to integrate the use of smartboard in our teaching and learning later. My group has already did some discussion and come up with some simple ideas, but we do think of polishing all the ideas by imparting the use of new smartboard software. The explanation did by Ms. Fenny was very clear and interesting. We would like to explore further in using all these new things in our task later. Besides, due to time consumes, some of my friends did good job in creating a simple task by using the smartboard and the presenting it well.

Useful information for new and senior teachers....

Ms Chin has shown us on how to search for material for us, specifically for teachers and students use, where we can gather lots of useful teaching materials and information based on the teaching and learning area. Those websites are very useful and priceless for us later. Inside the net, got portal pendidikan, tvpendidikan and lots......you got to see it yourself, just explore.

Great information....

Good job Mz Chin, your lecture has given us a lot of information about the model of instructional design by Dick and Carey. Besides she is also explaining about ADDIE model of learning theory. Actually ADDIE stands for 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation, and 5) Evaluation. These five phases of ADDIE is very important in designing instructional objectives. We can see the stages of the instructional objectives before we reach the last stage of evaluation. We as the future teacher may exercise his model later in Teaching and Learning practice later. On the other hand, we learned that ASSURE model is one of the best model that we apply later in the classroom by integrating the use of technology. ASSURE is the acronym for 1) Analyze, 2) State,3) Select, 4) Utilize,5) Require, 6) Evaluate. Besides, this model requires the students’ active participation because lesson can be very interactive between the students and material by integrating the use of technology.
