getting on the track back

it's been quite along time i didnt update my blog.. yes, i admit it was all my mistake for allowing procrastination to take place...i hope it is not too late to update something about the technology information that i have gained as well as the Techno class so far..let me just refresh what i have posted for the previous blog. it stopped at the assignment 3..i could still emember what we have done for for few weeks after we had given the time to complete our assignment. It was a peer evalution as well as leactures and tutors evaluation. Every group had to send representative so that they could present the best product of the assignmnet on using the IWB a.k.a SMArt Board...i could see the clear reasons why this peer evaluation is important for everyone. i realized that sometime, we cannot see our own weaknessess and mistakes. We need someone to be our mirror so that it will reflect us and tell us what we should improve to make something better. from all the presentation that we all have done, i learnt quite a lot and get the ideas of using the IWB.. the first point that i would like to share is that the activity designed shoud be suitable and maximize the use of smartborad in the classroom. what i mean here is that we should designed the activity which have the extra things that a normal blacboard cant do.. as for example, the infinite cloner..it is no point to design an activity that can be carried out using the ordinary blackboard like writing, matching etc..so teachers should be wise in designing the activity too in maximizing the use of technlogy in the classroom.Next would be the activities designed should be congruent to the learning objectives that we have stated earlier.another things that i have learnt is that we have to be sure who is our target audience so that the activity designed suits all the aspects for our target audience. as for instance, our target audience is Primary school children, so the activity desigen should be colourful, variety, fun, interesting etc..

there are many other things that i have learnt besides what i have mentioned above. the most important thing, the list about what i have learnt and gained about smartboard is getting longer and longer. i feel the peer evaluation should be continued in the next sem so that other people will learnt and develop their understanding about the smart boardyes, it helps apart from the self exploration that i have done on my own =)
