Week 13th

That day Madam Foziah let us try some of the software that involved games. So we try the games. It was rather exciting that such activity. We try Freddy Fish that involved problem solving games. The game was very attractive because it was a colourful and in opinion will able to attract the pupils’ attention. Madam Foziah asked us to try the games. In my opinion it was a fun and challenging game. The game is about two fish that try to solve the problem in the school. Their school was being attack by a ghost. In order to be able to solve the problem the mystery, the two fish have to find the correct clue. The fish have to finds that the clues give them. it is actually attractive because the child will be able to learn noun (name of the things) besides that they will be able to develop problem solving skills. After that, we are given a task to evaluate ‘Software Evaluation’ sheet where we have to evaluate the software. As a teacher we had to choose the correct software that we want our student to try so that maximise teaching-learning can be done.

Week 12th

It was end of Hari Raya holiday and I had not finished my assignment three yet. That day we had to search for research article “using teaching aids in the classroom” where we had to review the article in many ways. I actually had a hard time searching for the article because it is very limited. As I search for the correct article I found that there was article that related in using technology in the internet but unluckily it was limited of research article. it showed me that was unlimited source in the internet about something but whether it was appropriate or not the searcher herself/herself have to evaluate whether the information that being gathered is appropriate or not. It made me wonder if web 3.0 ( I got the information for technology class or you can search in the yahoo engine about this)can help in so that searching information so that the information that we gather is information that we really want.


p/s :Madam Foziah gave us time to finish the assignment during that day. It was a relief. I will continue on the work on the assignment and I hope that I can finish it on time.

Week 11th

Today we present the text that madam Foziah gave last week. It was rather so many inputs in one day but I managed to digest some of the things. We were also have to organize our things for the portfolio and as we had to hand it the portfolio at the end of the final week. As we learned all the things, mdm foziah asked us to bold the things that we learn(the url, software and etc) with the blue colour and bold the things that we discover ourselves with red colour so that Mdm Foziah can see what we had learn and improve ourselves in this semester. I think by doing this way she can keep track what we had learn. It is also good because we can do inquiry-discovery learning where we can discover the knowledge itself. As we discover the technology knowledge ourselves we would usually understand the knowledge better and even practice it better in real life. As this course it is actually came to an end I think that I discovered many things regarding developing resource using technology. We also have to search for an article about developing resource using technology. Since there is no internet in my house, I think I had to summit the article quiet late.

Week 10th

That day Madam Foziah taught us about Microsoft Publisher. I discovered things that can be done such as making name card, pamphlet, flyers, poster and many more. As I discovered the usage of the Microsoft Publisher, I think my knowledge about handling Microsoft software was not depth enough. I really had to work hard so that I will maximize my skills using technology. Besides my master the skills I actually c I discovered many usage of the Microsoft Publisher that really can help me in producing better “pamphlet, poster, and newsletter” in the future. For this week task we are asked to do newsletter. We choose to do newsletter about recipe. As usual we divide our work so that it will become easier to do the work. It is quite fun while making the newsletter because we can explore the usage of the newsletter. I feel like that I am working with the newspaper company while doing the newsletter task. We also are being given with work regarding the task for power point presentation to present it next week. I also discover the websites that is Bit comet that able you to download anything such as music, video and many more. You just have to search it in yahoo. It is a useful place in downloading things and it will automatically download it for you. I think it quite useful for us future teacher to know the ability of the internet in helping us to search for good resource that we will be able to use it in future.

Week 9th

This week task was presentation regarding the text that Madam Foziah gave us last week. I felt very nervous because I had to present (it was about one semester I never present anything in UM). Presentation worked well. So for this week I continue my work regarding the task. I also send my work on Monday. As the journey come to end this course become more challenging. I think the development of my work also become slow maybe because fasting month (can I use it as an excuse?). For the Michael Jackson task and also video task, my group already discusses about it and we decided to divide our work so that it will be easier.

8th week

For this week, the task was more in designing activity. Each group has 4 group members and each of us has to pick one out of 4 skills that are listening skill, speaking skill, reading skill and writing skill. My group topic was festival and I choose writing skill as the skill that I wanted to teach the students. We also were given a text that we had to read and we had to summarize the information. Basically the text is about ‘Teacher being realistic, Teaching with course book, Teaching without course book’. Our group got the ‘Teaching without course book task’. This task should be present for next week class. So we give each person a task to do so that the work becomes smooth. For this task I and two of my friends have to present this task for the next week class. I still searching the video that my group will use in the next assignment. So my journey will be continuing…………….
