Last class On 03 April 07

Today is our last class and all of us have to present the assignment.I’m so interested to see one of our group presentations whereby they design a treasure hunt games for mathematics learning activities. It’s fun to do Mathematics exercise on that way…and I’m suggesting that children should play that such games. It can attract student to solve the Maths problem without feels so stress because most of us afraid with numbers. I think this can makes student engaged on their class besides attract their attention and give a good learning experience to them.

Perhaps the IWB is the most misunderstood and abused resource since the OHP. Don’t we all remember the grotty photocopied typewritten black-and-white presentations where the presenter had to re-focus the machine, sometimes got the flimsy slides upside down or back to front and finally insulted the audience by reading exactly what was displayed on the screen? And what about the plenary session where someone in the audience wanted to go back to a previous ‘slide’ which the presenter had lost under a pile of scripts and statistics?

Well, all that has changed with the introduction of the IWB – or has it? I still see far too many presentations which start by the presenter or his/her technician having to find the hard-drive folder containing the appropriate presentation. The game is then given away as the audience are all shown the whole content of the file before finally getting to see the first page in ‘Show’ format.

And then comes the really boring bit, in standard MS template style, whereby the presenter proudly (yes, you’ve guessed it) reads what is on the screen and sends the audience to sleep. The underlying principle of the Visual Aid as being just a support to the teacher’s performance seems to have been forgotten. And, more to the point of this paper, the IWB is still often controlled by the teacher – often from the teacher’s desk!

Lastly, I realy enjoy this course and I admit that I get many information about ICT and how to use it..For all my friends, GOODLUCK!! And a big thanks to Prof. Dr. RM, Mr. Sharil and Miss Chin..Thanks for everything..

HI..WELCOME BACK..Today we started our class at Computer Lab 2 at Menara Pendidikan and the lecture be given by Dr. Raja Maznah from 9am to 10am. She show us the Smart Whiteboard and use it to tell about 5 initiatives of Integrating of Technology (ICT). The 5 Integrating of Technology (ICT) are :-

Smart School (88 pilot) and all school “pembestarian sekolah”
Computer Lab
Pengajaran Sains Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PSMI)
School Net
TV Pendidikan

After that, we continue the class by doing the “student activities” with Miss Chin . The objective of this “student activities” is to know an animation and we made it in Ms Power Point for only one slide. We choose title MALAYSIAN FOOD then we present on the slide show. Miss Chin showed us about the “Model Rekabentuk Pengajaran” opened by from the Dip Ed Yahoo Groups at weekly notes. Then move to the file “Storyboard and Flowchart Symbols”.
Then continue the discussion about Interactive White Board (IWB) group assignment

Today I question

• Isn't the “Model Rekabentuk Pengajaran” is still use in teaching at school nowadays?
• Is there any advantages we can get from the “Model Rekabentuk Pengajaran” between teacher and student and what the achievements until nowadays?
  
  My initiative to find more information on the topics discussed in the class
• search more about 5 Initiative of Integrating Of Technology
• search and explore weekly report file name “Model Rekabentuk Pengajaran” and “Storyboard and Flowchart Symbols”

Hi.. welcome back to 3rd post..ok. for reflection on 6 march 2007 class, we start our second presentation on title " Promosi Aktiviti Dan Penggunaan Makmal Komputer". In That presentation i also know about the topic that related with computer lab.After the presentation, i also learn about Schoolnet and TV Pendidikan.Schoolnet ia the portal is created to facilitate the teachers and to boost the interactive learning for the student by internet. Teacher and student will be able to explore and access the information and educational resources on the Internet anywhere through online.

TV Pendidikan is a television channel on Malaysia's Astro satellite service. Before its integration with Astro, TV Pendidikan had been aired in Malaysia's local television station RTM2. TV Pendidikan is fully owned and produced by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia and it shows various programmes for various school subjects. Since TV Pendidikan aired time only lasted for half a day, the rest of the air time is taken over by Astro on 20 March, 1999.I watched a movie under TV Pendidikan titled ‘Ku redah seribu kepayahan’. The movie was about a new teacher that was posted to a rural area and how he adapted to his new environment. I think this kind of movie can motivate other teachers so that they will be more committed to what they are doing.

Today I Question

• How many school or teachers know about the Schoolnet?
• How to create this blog more interesting?

My initiative to find more information on the topics discussed in the class

• search more about about Schoolnet & TV Pendidikan
• searh more about to create the blog

Today we start our class with with presentaton our first assignment. Our group SERVER DOWN became the first presenter on title " How To Install The Printer-Canon & Hp".In that presentation Dr RM gave us some comment and opportunities on the slide presentation. She also encourage participation from the audience. After that, Miss Chin took over the class and discuss with us about "Pembestarian Sekolah" Or "Smart School".From that i know what educational needs was the smart schools project intended to fulfill. Apart form the role of education to fulfill national development goals and aspirations, the project also meant to address various educational needs as stated below:·

• To prepare school leavers for the Information Age·
• To bring about a systemic change in education, from an exam-dominated culture to a thinking and creative knowledge culture·
• To re-emphasise science and technology education with a focus on creativity and innovation·
• To equip students with IT competence·
• To inculcate Malaysian values among the students and produce a generation of caring, peace-loving and environmentally concerned

Miss Chin also introduced the new technology that i never use before. Its called Interactive Whiteboard (IWB). I'm so excited and feel engaged when Miss Chin gave me a chance to touch it. For the second assignment our group must present about "Promosi Aktiviti Dan Penggunaan Makmal Komputer. I hope my group can do the the best better than today.

Today I question

• How to get more sample interactive image to be use in the IWB
• How to Upload my photo to the blog

My initiative to find more information on the topics discussed in the class

• Search the related website to find more infomation about IWB, SmartSchool and School Computer Lab

First Day In Class

Hi everybody...i still don't believe that now i am here to futher my studies in Diploma Pendidikan(DPLI) 2007. Actually there are so many difficulties along my journey to be here.But i just let all the problem go and proceed with my class until today...

Ok.. for the first class, i have learned about the importance of integrating ICT Technology in an education process in order to raise student's interest and engagement in learning. Then, I was taught a basic knowledge of using high resolution digital camera and how to set up printer, projector as well as finding a driver for any printer through the internet in case of we lost the driver CD.

Actually this is my first time using blog..i hope i can be more creative and innovative for the next post. so that all for now, i hope that we can cooperate in order to become a good teacher in the future..
