26/08/08 REFLECTION
Today’s lesson is about how technology influences the degree of effectiveness in teaching and learning process. As a first step, we have to comprehend ICT, its roles and some relevant applications. I finally realized that ICT has a big impact in enriching teaching and learning experience. For example, through ICT we can produce a lot of interactive teaching aids which communicate to the learners. This dynamic interaction between teacher, students and teaching resources will ensure more effective learning environment. Moreover, in term of assessment, it helps the teacher to see students’ feedback and assess their understanding throughout a lesson.
Despite the excitement of ICT, to promote them in the classroom, we should abide and adhere by the principles and ethics in bringing technology resources to class. For example, teacher should take into consideration about sensitivity, culture and background of the target group. This will ensure that students will not misinterpret the message and at the end the teacher are the one to be blamed.
In the nutshell, we clearly aware about the importance about ICT and its role, but we have still have to abide by ethics as a teacher in order to promote high quality teaching and learning experience.

Today’s lesson is mostly concerning our post-mortem about video producing assignment. This process is guided by our lecturer what we have learned in terms of new skills and knowledge acquired. Moreover, we should be critical in evaluating our strength and weaknesses and what problems we face in making that video.
Obviously, my skills in applications related to video editing are improved such as photo editing, converting to the suitable format, and video editing. Furthermore, in this assignment there some values and soft skills we learned such as our communication skills, teamwork spirit, creative and critical thinking and entrepreneurship. For example, our communication skills not just focus on face to face relationship, but through internet applications such as ‘yahoo messenger’ and forum, they test our skill in using smileys and related icons to express our thought and feeling. Some may cause miscommunication but we always learn from mistake to become a better person.
To sum up, let us admit that this assignment provide us a lot of opportunities to explore what technology can teach us and how we should use it for the benefit and development of human development. Thus, in providing feedback we can improve and resolve anything for the future use.

Today's lesson is about smartboard. Previously, we have attend a course about smartboard at um last year. We always being updated about smartboard by its distributer "Airset". However, today's class reveal a new features that already being upgraded and is more friendly user than ever before. These features being developed constantly and we even can import some features being used in united kingdom, canada and many countries. Thus, the capital to be share is ample to fulfill today's requirement of teaching and learning purposes. Moreover, it can be used for many subjects such as Math in drawing some geometrical shapes.
Along the ways, the distributer will provide and develops many website to enrich and maximise the usage of smartboard. Finally, I agree that this training is essential for us to get an idea and believe that smartboard will be as important as chalk and talk in delivering a lesson. Thus, interactive and dynamic interaction between teacher and student can be achieved through the usage of smartboard.

27/07/08 REFLECTION - INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES
One of the models taught was the ASSURE MODEL which focusing more on the process in the classroom. The model guide us the importance to develop the suitable teaching aids using technology in the classroom.
The ADDIE MODEL is more about developmental stages from planning (analyzing) stage to the evaluation stage. It gives clear guide what we should consider in each stage.
To sum up, let us admit that these models being introduce to serve their purpose. So, be creative and critical on how to exploit our knowlegde about these models to the maximum.

THE REFLECTION
Posted by nursejati7 at 11:49 PM 1 comments
ASSIGNMENT 1 - TECHNO FOR A DAY! MAKE THE TEACHER GIVE AWAY!
1. Honestly speaking, I’m still new in so called ICT era. But, to think how my students will be learning using this latest technology, I have no doubt today’s generation are well-updated. Deep in mind, i think technology will be enlightened our students' learning styles. During my time, learning was mostly taking place in classroom setting, but today armed with techno logy, setting for learning can be ignored because students now can access information anytime, anywhere they want. So, it will become more flexible in terms of time, evoke creativity in expressing ideas, and in other way provide freedom to fulfill their curiosity in knowledge culture. However, we as teacher also called second parents to these students should provide proper guidance to educate them the true meaning of learning. With the borderless information and exposure, some misuse may occur. Here, teacher should play a role to keep them in track on how to use technology for good purposes. At last, they will take responsibility on what they want to know, and give it back to society in appropriate manner.
2. How teacher will be learning????? Personally, "teacher" in other words means "teach her/him self". We have to update ourselves in technology as one of the crucial element to this new era where people said, "techno is our food, without techno, we can't live". So, this survivor series really require us to become 'techno teacher'. However, take this as a gift!! Some may claim these as misery but not for me, I think this is an exciting exploration and I can foresee my future as a teacher that able to provide teaching resources in more interactive ways and enrich my lesson with attractive visual aids that I can easily download and exploit them for classroom purposes. So my friends, do you still think these subject is a burden, I suggest have fun and learn to make a maximum use of this technology. Evidently, regardless who you are, whether a teacher or a student, if you are living in this 21st century without having this knowledge, you can called yourself a loser or a caveman, nowadays even a monk know how to use this technology. This evolution is real, so be prepared, it’s not as hard as we think because technology serves its purpose to simplify things. LIVE TECHNO!!!!!!
