WEEK 10 REFLECTION

Wow..its already in week 10 in this course. So fast the time has arrived. This week, the time for submitting the lesson plan and teaching aids assignments. We have done a great job in completing the tasks on time.

In this week, Mdm Foziah had given us the three hour lesson to continue our Module 2. Therefore, I appreciate the three hour lesson to complete my works.

This module has made to learn a lot especially in editing pictures. To be frank, before this I do not anything about cropping pictures, print screen. But, this course and specifically the module have made to know this. Therefore, I felt grateful to learn this course.
I still can remember, we have to change the background of a picture and make it more interesting. Mdm said that the subject of the picture must be logic and fit towards the background.
Finally, once more I hope that I can complete the module 2 on time and see you again in the next entry..

Bye…and wassalam..

Here are some descriptions about Module 2. For your information, this Module 2 emphasizes more on Adobe Photoshop CS3 software, ACDSee, Photoscape, Iphoto and Triscape Fxfoto which handling more on editing pictures. Therefore, to start doing the tutorials given, I have to search these softwares to be installed into my laptop.

After installing these softwares, I quickly start doing the tasks and the tutorials. It is because; I do not want to waste the time. For me, every moment in my life is really precious to me.

Actually, before this I do not know how to edit pictures and make it more interesting. But from now on, I will be absorbing a lot of knowledge regarding to editing pictures by doing these tutorials and tasks in Module 2. I realize that this Module 2 will make me become more creative in terms of preparing more interesting teaching aids for lessons in school later.

My Sixth Week Reflection






Hi & salam to all….hehe..
This week, is about the first assignment that had been assigned to us. “The first module”. I think this week is the starting to work harder and harder. It is because; the work has been increased from week to another week. The work was not only from this subject but also from the other subjects as well.



Do you want to know the due date for this module? We have to finish up this module by 30th of August, and it is just another 2 weeks from now. Therefore, I should focus more on how to divide my time to finish my work and also other works as well. Sometimes I start to think deeply, am I able to finish this module. But, Mdm Foziah has mentioned that we will be having another four modules in this course. Hence, I should just think to finish these modules and indirectly learn the technology tools such as, how to download certain things, extracting pictures and so on.

I realized that, this module and the upcoming modules are really useful for us in developing new resources for primary students in the classroom. It is because, I just have to look on every slideshow in the module and it will make me to try it on myself. This is about a self learner. It can save a lot of time and it is really motivate me to absorb more new knowledge.

In conclusion, I hope that I can finish Module 1 on time and I can learn more new things about the new technology tools that are really useful for me.

My Fifth Week Reflection

The fifth week of this course was about the explanation of the Assignment 2: which is the Technological Teaching Aids Collection that will be carrying 10 marks. Then, we had been assigned to work in pair in this assignment. We were not allowed to work with the same gender in this assignment. But, in my situation there were not enough girls to work with me and finally I had been assigned to work with the same gender who was Mahalingam. In this assignment, we were asked to make a collection of technology teaching aids. This could include flash cards, edited pictures and e-books, gifs and animations, audio and video clips. My topic was about Unit 9, which were Let Us Learn More, In the Garden and Flora and Fauna. All of these topics are under Year 1, 2 and 3. What I had understood of this assignment, I and my partner had been asked to collect as many resources which are suitable and can be used to teach pupils in the classroom. Furthermore, we had been asked to complete the tables given about the topics that we were assigned. For example, the explanation or a brief explanation about the materials that our group had decided, the rationales of it and other purposes. The dateline of this work is on this coming Thursday before 4pm. In conclusion, I hope that this assignment will be motivating me and giving me a lot of experiences especially the collaboration with my partner. Besides that I am also hope that I will achieve a good percentage on this assignment. Thank you to Madam Foziah for giving us a lot of informative ideas regarding to this assignment.

My Fourth Week Reflection


My fourth week of this class was a precious moment in my life. It is because; I have learned so many things like how to download a song, video and other resources which can be used as my teaching materials in the classroom later. Madam Foziah also has taught us a new application which is moyea, a youtube downloader. Before this, I had to use different kinds of software to download the videos from youtube, but now, i can easily use this kind of software. All of us should know that the youtube has a lot of video sources especially in education filed. Therefore, this kind of software has helped us especially for future 21st century teacher like me. But before we learn about the new application and software, we were given some explanation about the continuation of presentation by other groups about”Working with Young Learners”. There were some subtopics like Children Capacity for Indirect Learning, Children Instinct for Play and Fun, The Role of Imagination and The Instinct for Interaction and Talk.




Besides that, Madam Foziah also has taught us about the “prt sc” button on the keyboard which is can be used as a copier of a webpage and can paste it on the power point presentation or in the Microsoft word office. At the end of our class, Madam asked us to complete a tutorial task. In this tutorial task, we are required to complete three power point presentations on how to search and download a song, lyric and also the video. We were asked to work individually and send it in a cd next week.
In conclusion, I enjoyed towards this week of this course and I hope that I will be more success and will absorb more new knowledge throughout this semester and the rest of my life.
