Week 7 - Life Line for Module1

Here, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Pn. Foziah for being so understanding. She allowed us to complete the tutorials in Module 1 during her class. I felt very relieved as there were lots more that I have to complete.Though there were only 9 skills included, but there were quite a number of subtopics for each of the skills. Can you imagine with almost 20 subtopics for each skill plus all the steps of tutorials for each subtopic, I can't imagine how many slides are there for the whole completed module! Pheww~~

Therefore, I grabbed this opportunity to complete as much as possible all the tutorials during her class as there were many other assignments from my other 6 subjects in which I too have to meet the deadlines given! It WAS an abundance of works for me!!! Wise time management's all needed. How I wished that there's more than 24 hours in a day~~

Okay, stop whining! Back to business~Chiao

Week 6 - Module 1 ( Computer and Internet Skills)

As to what have been scheduled, we are going to do 5 modules throughout this course. And for this week class, we received Module 1 regarding to computer and internet skills.

So, basically this module comprises of skills related to:

1) Compressing files

2) Uploading files

3) Downloading files

4) Encoding materials

5) Storing files

6) Burning files

7) Scanning

8) Sending emails

9) Web search

With all these 9 skills, it is hoped that my computer and internet skills will gradually improve that I can use later in finding appropriate teaching materials for the pupils' learning. Overall, I can't wait to finish this very first module. With all the step-by-step tutorials for the 9 skills in the module, I really hope that I can finish this module just in time of submission. Aja-aja fighting!

week 5- Technological Teaching Aids~

Another week to come. This time around, we were told to expand the use of our teaching aids despite of the conventional ones that we used to do before. And for that, we were introduced to the wonders of technological teaching materials. How they can make our teaching sessions with the kids be better ones!Urm, aside from the board-and-chalk materials, why don't you integrate some technological use for the teaching aids?

And for us to get used to that, Pn. Foziah assigned us to find related teaching resources from the internet based on the topics given:

Year 4: Healthy Living

Year 5: Family First

Year 6: Wonderfully made

And to tell you, I was eager at first to do this task that me and my partner,Nazwan, have put our best efforts to gather the best teaching aids that can be integrated in the teaching of these 3 topics. There were various types of resources that were found useful to be used. Digital flashcards, videos, games, e-books, or even songs, well just to name a few.

Upon completing this task, I did realize that being as a 21st century teacher I have to be creative to vary my teaching aids to attract my pupils and make their learning experience be an effective one. In fact, using technological resources, I found that it is much easier and saves me more time.

As what I need to do is to google any related materials and with just simple clicks I can download or print out the resources found to be used in class. Perhaps, with combination of both kinds of teaching aids- technological and non-technological ones, can make the teaching and learning processes in the classroom be more effective, significant yet fun and interesting enough to suit with the pupils' learning preferences.

week 4- Class cancelled, peeps! ^_~

Got a call from our leader, Bahak. He woke me up informing me that the class for today has been cancelled! Yeehaw~!

Should I be happy? Of course, I AM. He he...Who would not want their morning classes be cancelled when you are not having enough sleep after you burnt the midnight oil completing your other assignments, right? I am one of the people. ^-^ Because I know that I won't be able to focus on the classes with my sleepy head.

Perhaps, after another hours of quality sleep, I can then start completing the rest of my assignments. Should not procrastinate time as abundance of assignments will fall on me sooner or later. Aja-aja fighting!
