Test?

Just finished our resources test today. Basically, i do not know what i am writing at that time. Maybe some outside force help me to write it. Haha. This week is the most busiest week in my life. Suddenly got so many to hand in and i do not have the time to study at all for the test. Anyways, let's do not worry about things that have passed. Move forward and hope that the future will be a good one. :P

My opinion about future classroom.

If you ask me what i want in my future classroom, there are lot to list them here. In reality, it is impossible to get everything that you want and it is also depend on the government budget whether to invest in these technological things (IWB, LCD projector and computer labs) to improve our education system or not.

For me, as long as the students are willing to learn to improve themselves in terms of their academic achievement, it is important for the teacher to assist them various ways possible. These technological things only bring limited benefits such as to assist teacher in teaching and somewhat motivate the students that are not familiar with the usage of this technology.

Nowadays, it is not common to hear students with 14 and 15 A in SPM although these technological things are not fully implemented in schools or some schools have none of it. From my view, academic achievement can be achieve with the cooperation of various sides such as teachers, parents and school management. As long as these people united to improve our education system, it is not impposible to hear students can achieve more that they can achieve today.

Life after Raya...

Without realizing it, 1 week of Raya holidays already passed. Now our life is back to it used to be, buzy with assignments and stuffs to do. Oh, well. i'm already used to that kind of life anyway.

Nothing interesting happend during Raya, the holidays are too short for me to go around celebrating and visiting my relatives. Maybe the only good thing is that, i still received "duit raya" from my parents and relatives. Although the money that i received is not that many, but i think it is enough for me to buy something that can help me to release the stress from doing the assignments.

Our next assignment is making four lesson plans. I already make 1 before Raya holidays, now i need another 3. Maybe i will start doing it in 2 days time as i will be buzy tonight.

Assignment 2

Finally, assignment 2 after several weeks it has been delayed. Hmmm
For this assignment, we need to modify 2 videos and use it as resources to teach the primary kids.

From my view, it is good to integrate technology in classroom learning but we cannot deny the existence of authentic printed materials such as newspaper articles, story books, posters. We need to varied our our materials so that the pupils won't be bored by our lesson.

E-book

Hehe, sorry for the late reply. So busy to update the blog. Owh, after the video assignment, our next one is the E-book. Hmm, i think i already forgot what i do for this assignment. Maybe it is about science subject related to basic human needs. Too many assignment for this course made me confuse with which one is it. Anyway, bye2 E-book. i dont want to see you again next year. hahaha

Video editing part 2

For this task, my partner and i did a video entitle Family of 2.

You can view it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFRHhSyGKMA

This video tell us a story about two families with different background yet they still can be friends due to certain circumstances. This is a nice story for you guys to ponder upon as it convey the message of unity between people in multi racial country.
