WEEK 15: Q AND A SESSION

In this very last entry, I need to answer few questions posted by Mdm Foziah...and this would be my official closure for my pbey310209 blog......

1. What do you like about blogging?

i love blogging.its not just about your writings and thoughts. but then it requires HOTS higher order thinking skills. what we write is being judge what we write is being ponder by the readr.as for me, it sometimes give me the freedom to speaks out whats in my mind. because sometime we are just soo afraid of what people going to say to us when we ask pathetic question in the classroom.so by blogging i usually pour everything that is in my head n heart. in this course, it's has been one of my closest friend since i need to update my readers on what is happening and reflect on my understanding based on what i have learned in the classroom.it is what i called my "diary".

2. What you do not like about blogging?

- alright as usual there would be pros and cons..in everything we do..well, in blogging. one of teh reason I dont like about blogging is sometimes we are not aware of what we write may be indirectly hurts peoples feeling eventhough it's unintended. and sometimes, the way people convey their word it has double meaning which mean its ambigious.we may interpret this way and the second person may interpret negatively. 

3. What have you gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

-through blogging: i was able to expand my thought and be more critical in my writings so that it will portray the maturity level of a person. the next best thing, i became more aware of my language,before this may be i have face the limitation of vacabularies but then through blogging bit kinda help in a way to enhance my langauage proficency. it is proven that through blogging i was to enhance my language skills and technology skills.

4. How?

-HOW? like i have said earlier..the more u write the more advanced u become. In terms of language skills, communication writing and also critical thinkings.

5. What do you like about this course?

i have learned the new methods of doing tutorials..its all about "PRINT SCREEN THE STEPS TO DO IT". honestly, i realized that throughout the 14 weeks i have learned things that has to do with technology basis.and i had made a conclusion that this course is more to technology rather than resources in the primary classroom. and may be the aim of this course is to make future teacher be more creative in manipulating the technology.

7. What have you learnt from this course?

i have learned...like i have stated earlier..."PRINT SCREEN METHODS"..its all bout tutorial after tutorials. hinestly im not sure what i have learned but what i can say about this course is more to "independent learning"where I didnt learned anything in the classroom but we are supposed to explore it on our own.i have learned on my own..audio editing video editing photo editing elt coursware..dont you realized its all technology based. I sometime feel like im a multimedia students..hehehe

8. What have you learnt from this course that you did not expect to?

i have learned so many technology things...for example audio editing video editing. which sometime i felt a bit contra to the title of the course which is resources in primary classroom. but then i keep it on myt optimist side, may be this is one of the resource to used in primary classroom.

9. What have u expected but do not learn from this course?

i have expected to learned what are the technological teahciong aids that can be use in the classroom. but i was thinking if there were chances, we can make like a simulated teaching.so that it would be clearer to us on how to apply all the teachnological teaching aids in the classroom environment. and the we can learned from each other on what needs to be improved and what not.

10. If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate?

the amount of task is kinda the same as the amount of assinments. i think all the task needs to have marks since the amount of time spent doing the task is about the same as the assignments.

we work really hard to produce quality work so at least it is beneficial to us to be given marks on each task.

i would love to have some"teaching session" on how to used certain software for example audio editing.personally, i had no experience handling these audio video things it was my first time, as a first timer if there were guidance and some teaching session it woulod be essential, if not it would be a little demotivated. this is part of my own personal experience. 

overall, i think this course gives a major impact in me in introducing to me "PRINT SCREEN METHODS" and all teh technological teaching aids.it was a great journey!!

now..it had come to an END...

till then,warm regards

WEEK 14: submission of assignments&examination

Hello everyone and salam.......

Oh my GOD!!......one word that came out from my mouth...

"da minggu ke 14??"

it the final week before we our final exam..

Woweee!! TIME FLIES!!....

This semester had been really busy hectic..i didnt even have time to update my own personal blog..i was so afraid i couldnt catch up with all teh workloads..

With good time management...I kinda realized how important to be an organised person..so that we know our priority.

With all the long sigh~~...me n my friend..

We managed to completed each assignments on time and in a good quality..

For the lesson plan it was thick as thick as the quality we present..we work very hard as groupmates to come up with great teaching aids and lesson plan.

I hope all these hardwork will paid off.

[finger cross]

Next week revision week...

Gosh!! so many things went through my mind..

I just hope all the coursework will get good marks..since I have been working really hard for all the assignment that had been assigned to us. there are 7 papers all together...I just hope for the best..I will work smart and try to cover all the topics that are going to come out for the exam..

As for resources, there were a lot to study...I mean it!!..but then luckily Mdm Foziah gives us tips so it kinda makes our life at ease. but then if you dont have an effort then it would be useless..

Alright people...I'am about to end my entry...I'am glad that I was given the chance to blog this course..throughout this 14 weeks..it was a good experience especially in terms of sharing thoughts and ideas.

I end my entry with a quote..its a special quote....as a reminder whatever we face in this world we have GOD that will always be with us no matter what...




Warm regards

WEEK 13: TIME MANAGEMENT!!

"TIME WILL NOT WAIT!!"

Salam everyone!!

See the above phrase in big letters ??

Yess!! for this last week of class, everything is cramped, it does'nt matter what subject ...everything needs to be submitted within the due date given.

It kinda scares me...Im so afraid if I can't managed my time well.

Well, basically this week we were supposed to submit our second assignments  on "Collection of Technological Teaching Aids"...

unfortunately....it was POSTPONED!!! haha..

Do you want to know why??

Because Puan.Foziah wants us to inculdes the new software that we had learned this week in the assignments. The new software was "Microsoft Publisher" I think everyone of us knew what is that software about.

We can create technological teaching aids through this software, so, besides the six elements now we have to add on one more which is under Publisher.

Luckily, it was postpones then we would have extra time to do it and even explore!!

Besides that, the exam date was change from 22nd of Oct to 28th of OCT...now everything is all cramped up in a week...

Im stressed!!!

I feel like I wanted to S.C.R.E.A.M~~~!!!

alright riena,,take a deep breathe!!

WEEK 12: VIDEO VIEWING

hello everyone!!

"sometimes hard work does'not paid off"

I kinda agree with the phrase..

but never mind...

for todays class it was fine.

the video viewing session it was ok.

everybody came out with great videos.

but at the end of the videos session my video was commented

it was not a good comment, I don't know what went wrong. 

The storyboard was approved but then when the final video was shown it was not valid..hummmm....

[im being optimist :)]

but frankly I was proud of what I did with my partner.

and everyone that had watched the video said there was a message and it was crystal clear in the video.

My partner will upload it in the youtube for everyone to watch it.

I had nothing much to say in this entry, well..

enjoyed the video..

Im satisfied!!

till then

WEEK 11: ARTICLE PRESENTATION!!

SALAM EVERYONE!!

I would like to start off my entry by......

Congratulating all the groups that had presented the article!!

They did  A GOOD JOB!!

From that prsentation, me my self personally had gained so much knowledge about "THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM". It was a great article.

Each group had their own ideas on the use of technology, I sometimes relate the presentaion in real life situation whether it is possible or not to integrate the use of technology in Malaysia classroom.Even though nowadays more school are trying to integrate but we need to think in terms of teachers capability to handle the tools because when it comes to technology we need to have the knowledge to handle it.

May be in Malaysia context, teacher themselves need to be fully equipped so that they are able to manipulate the facilities provided in the classroom.

As class moves on, we were discussing on the assignments, getting clarification on what to do next. It seems like the instruction was not clear, there were a little bit of confusion happens today..

Most of the people thinks that the video was our 2nd assignments but then it was wrong.the video was only task to be submitted not assignments.

The second assignments was "collection of technological teaching aids" whihc was due on the 15th of  OCT ...everyone sat down for a while to consume everything it kinda gives me a headache because we were not sure what to do until today..

THANK GOD!!!..Since everything is clear now...

I need to get my back on my FEET..ready to work on the workloads.

Yeay!!! no more raya mode sharina!!

till then

take care.
