SMARTBoard again??

Once again we were introduced to SMARTboard application.. but for this time, the new version of the software was used and explored. The presentation was given by Miss Fenny and her presentation was light, simple, compact and very meaningful. She showed us some sample activities, asking some of us to try out the activities, and lastly asked us to explore the software and come up with our own activities for primary school pupils. Then, we had to present our materials in front of the class.

Learning theories would not bring much effect until we practice and try them out. To see the effects, and also the practicality of the application (software), we were given another assignment which requires us to develop materials and activities for primary school pupils. This would be the best time for me to explore the software to the fullest. Hope I am able to come up with interesting activities for the assignment.

Friends, let's show what we have then. All the best.!

Video? Huh Finally....

I manage to complete my project within the time given. Thanks to lecturer and all the assistants for your help and guidance in my way to complete the video. Thanks for the sample videos you showed us earlier, and also thanks for all the tips given. They were really helpful for me in order to create an effective video for primary pupils outside. Hope that the video would be highly accepted by all thus, exploited it in teaching and learning (T&L) processes for the benefits of primary school pupils.

Let's see how many people will watch my video in youtube. I bet the number would reach thousands since I have 'famous imported actors' acting for my video. You know who they are right? =P

Educational webs

Fourth week lecture was presented by Miss Chin on some useful educational webs and portals such as EduwebTV, Cikgu.net, Portal Pendidikan, savethechannel.com, and many others to be explored in class for the benefit of both pupils and teachers. Teachers may explore the webs with pupils in class since the webs provide us with lots of activities to be discovered and exploited. Besides, the webs also offer updated information concerning on the educational issues. So friends, let’s us take this opportunity to explore and make full use of these webs in our way to be good teachers.

This week also would be a very busy period for me since I had to finalized my video project. For the project, I had chosen a very simple topic to be introduced to pupils. I hope my “Let’s save water” video could bring positive impacts in pupils life as they would start practicing what had been presented in the video. Let’s work on the video.!
