Week 6:reflection with Prof Raja Maznah

As for today, we had reflected on our 2nd assignment which is “video making”. According to Prof Maznah, some of us produced really good videos in relation with educating primary school children or young learners. Hopefully everyone, not just that “some” meet the requirement of the assignment given. No doubt that the assignment really gave me hectic days to prepare for materials in order to produce a good and high quality video. However, I also felt thankful as the assignment gave me new experience and new skills in regards to the use of technology. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I wasn’t good in using technology especially in handling various software which I myself is not familiar with. So, this assignment really gave me opportunities to practise using and integrating technology.
During the reflection session, Prof had asked us on our new experience and new skills that we have learnt through out the process of video making. Everyone seemed to agree that they gained lots of experience or at least learnt something which is new to them. We have listed the new skills or new things that we have discovered;
Software

smart board( week 5)

this week was quite a busy week ------> need to hand in assignment+ task and homework so more. well that's shouldn't be excuses of not learning anything this week ( though everyone seemed to be so blurred and tired during the class). yes, everyone is tired for not sleeping the whole nite to finish the video assignment -----> consequences for delaying things =) .Mmm enough for that. Let's talk about what we have learnt this week. SMART BOARD.That's not alien to us neither soooo familiar.Yes, we knew something about it but not really good when working with it. So, came Ms Fanny as the facilitator for that day to let us discover something about smart board especially integrating it with our teaching. Wow. that was the word i can say to smart board. Lot's of things i have learnt from her : how to change colours of the font, to get the sounds in presentation, to clone, to drag, to use magic high lighter so on and so forth. Smart board has become very important in future i guess. Perhaps there will be no more ordinary white or black board when every school is equipped with smart board =) who knows?. What else? we did some hands on task on that day using smart board. this was an opportunity for us to explore what's there in smart board. Can't wait to learn more next week =)

i'm getting well with technology by now (we've become friends anyway). Yes, technology is everything to me when coming to this university. It was really different situation back in our college in IPIK if compared to UM.Here, everything need to be done with the help of technology. That is why i said technology is part of my life here. Mm..thinking back of the first T.I.P.E class was very funny. I was like an alien lost in an unknown world. Most of my friends are quite advance in technology matters, especially the boys. It has been 4 weeks since i first came here. i learnt a lot,and willing to learn more of this ( eventhough sometimes i get tired and fed up of technology).
We have came to something that is really useful for future teachers like us. although we have not yet experience the real teaching world, still, we could have the opportunity to just look at what's happening there in the teaching field. Again, technology now become a magic tool where you can know everything by just a click. Just name it> eduwebtv, cikgu.net,etems, moe, etc. Thanks to Prof and the tutors team for helping and guiding us.At least we learn about links related to our proffession (apart from knowing the websites mainly for entertainment *shy*). I have gone through all of the websites recommended in the class. It's quite interesting to know that teachers can even post their lesson plan in the website. That means we can share whatever we have with teachers all over our country!!! How nice the teaching world can be ( more opinion=less burden)
Not just that, we can also assess latest news and event revolving around the teaching world. mm what else do you want? everything is possible now.again, thanx to my mr technology for helping me a lot =)
