Final reflection

Before i leave this course with a warmest goodbye, i would like to do some reflection about this course:

1. What they like about blogging.

At first i myself did not know the meaning of blogging until i was introduced by friends and also Madam Foziah. after had some experience with it, i feel blogging is a good way of sharing thoughts, experience, feelings and views about something. Besides, i can constantly check the latest update or post made by my friends so that i will be up dated with the latest information about the course...the most important thing is i could practise my writing skill and improve my language indirectly...

2. What they do not like about blogging.

Honestly no but i just dont have enough time to keep updating it because there are too many works to do and too many things to focus.

3. What have they gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc.

Like i said earlier, it helps me to improve my language and practise using the language at a maximum level. In fact, it also develop my softskills as well.

4. How?

Because when i'm writing or giving views to be shared, my brain will work actively, allowing myself to make use of the vocabulary that i have gained as well as the skills that i have learnt. For softskills, i think the most obvious part is the communication part as blogging really give me the opportunity to assess to other's views and thoughts.


5.what they like about the course

What i like about this course is that it really making me practise and apply what i hve learnt in the class like photo editing, audio editing etc. another thing would be the skill that i have learnt from this course. it really develop me to be a good and competent teacher for future generation.

6.what they do not like about the course

Honestly, i dont like this course when tasks and course work is concerned. There are just too mant hings to be done until i can't really focus on the other work ( from different course). However,i know it is one of the way to maximize tha learning.

7.what they have learnt from the course

I have learnt many things from this cours:

- team work ( working together in a group)

-getting along with people ( from different gender and races)

-to be good planner and creative designer ( in completing the tasks and asignments)

-resourceful as a teacher

8.what they do not expect but have learnt from the course

That this course really need integration of technology.. i thought it is merely on teaching aids/ resources ( i mean traditional one).

9.what they expect but have not learnt from the course.

i expect there are more theoritical knowledge that i have to learnt but it turned up that i have more hands on activities and tasks to do.

10. if they can change anything about the course, state what it is and explain.

i like it to be remained except the number of tasks and assignments that we all have to do.. maybe can reduce alittle bit..

journey to an end

Finally,i'm almost completing ths semester.. feel like everything has just started.. i still couldnt imagine that time is running even faster that what im thinking of..Before i leave the final words for this course, i would like to say thank you so much to Madam Foziah for the knowldge and skills that you have given to me. Besides, i would like also to ask for apology if i have done things that might hurt you intentionally ot unintentionally... And to dear friends, thanks for all the suports and guidance that you have given to me...Last but not least, warmest goodbye to this course =) hope we can meet again.

Exam!!!!!!

this is the most scary part any student will face.. me? not excluded. As usual, eventhough my heart feels lazy to get myself to study, my head said i have no other better things to do other that study...woooooshhhhh..there are still lots of thinks to revise and yet i still play and have fun with my friends. But still, i'm aware of what's happenning and what are the things that i have to settle in completing this semester. I could say life in a university is a bit harder that in college because here, we have to really be independant and do lots of self discovery and self learning. Hopefully, i can still struggle here and score every papers with flying colours =) Good luck everyone.

Educational softwares

For the educational softwares all of us have got the Softwares CD that we have to evaluate on. We are Divided into groups so that each group can get 1 CD to evaluate. However, for my group.we havent get any CD because there were not enough CD at that time. But that is not a big problem for me as we still can get to other groups and see what they have gotten. I went to Azirah's group and watched her having fun with a software that help us to locate a location or place even to the smallest part. I think the software it good as it allow us to think while playingand having fun. Besides, i also have a look at my friends who play with the educational softwares at the front of the class. They really laugh and giggle while playing. From there, i can imagine the situation or the pupils who are going to play the same softwares. That is very interesting as WE ourselves ( the future teacher) enjoying so much playing and exploring the softwares. I can imagine how much the pupils would love to play with it. So tht is basically what i have done for that day's class.

assigment 3

After had work for few weeks settling on the assigment three which we had to do lesson plans and teaching aids for all the four skills in English language. I admit that procrastination is not good for everyone. However, sometimes when we had just too many things to do, we need to take a rest for quite somtimes. All in all, i felt a bit relieved as i managed to complete the asignment on time eventhough i had to stay up untilthe middle of night. To me, such experience really gave me something to ponder and something to be memorized. Maybe it is the worst experince at that time but it will becoma the sweetest memory when all of us had been posted and changing the post from a student to a teacher =) So hopefully, after the hardwork and efforts that i have put in my assignment will bring a good news to me and hopefully it will help me in scoring good marks for this course.

publisher...

i was not really familiar with this actually but i have heard the software quite a long time and had a chance to use it when i'm doing tentative programme at college. However, the experience was not enough as i have discovered that there are a lot of things that we can do using publisher.really a lot!
just name it: pamphlets, posters, bussiness cards, brochure, newsletters and many more. for this, i again choose fadzli as my pair in exploring this new software. we manage to do bussiness card and a brochure using the publisher.so i think i need ore time to explore as there are quite many new things that i haven't tried yet. i'll try to explore as much as i can and show the work to you next time, in the portfolio. hopefully i can =)

being realistic

For the presentation that i have mentioned earlier, my group had to present on the topic "being realistic". We have divided the task among our group members where everyone of us need to present our part so that the work will be less burden for everyone. in fact, i find it is one of the good way of reading, we call it jigsaw reading: we read our part and others read theirs and finally we can combine the things that we have read so that we can have a better understanding on the topic and have a better view about it..maybe this way can be applied in the primary classroom as primary pupils as we know should be given short passages to be read. if we as teachers plan to give them long passages, maybe jigsaw reading will be more suitable as pupils can have better communication at the same time. so reading and speaking skill can be integrated simultaneously.

Back to the presentation, i was quite scared because this is my first presentation after a long time in the college. so i feel quite uncomfortable when all the members in our cohort look at me when i'm presenting. but at last i feel relieved as i can now adjust to the situation again =) so after this, there should be more on presentation coz i find it's a good way of undersatnd the theory part. i mean, it's effective than the usual lecture that we normally have: at least to me.
plus, it's a good way of learning on our own: self learning, learning autonomously.
