Reflection 2

Salam,

First of all, I really am truly sorry for the late post. Honestly, I was really preoccupied with so many other things which have been keeping me busy all the week. I guess I should be expecting another hectic week for this week, for the next week and maybe until the end of this semester!

Let’s get back to our business! So, for the second week of lecture, we started off the lecture with Mr. Sarihan gave us a brief lecture on a totally new input to us which was about ASSURE model. After hearing the lecture, personally I believe that this model is very helpful particularly to the teachers in order to integrate and incorporate media and technology in their teaching and learning process.

What does ASSURE stand for? This acronym simply means, Analyse learners, State objectives, Select media and materials, Utilise media and materials Require learner performance and Evaluate and revise. As I aforementioned early, this method is really fundamental especially in guiding the teachers to create a lesson plan so that their teaching and learning process would be more fruitful.

Done with the lecture, and here comes the task for that particular week. INTERESTING! Interesting would be the most appropriate adjective to describe the task that were given to us. In a group of five, we were asked to create a video which subsequently will be used as a teaching aid based on the Form 2 syllabus. After we have had a few discussions, all of us agree to work on the topic ‘Adjectives’.

It was such a pleasure to be able to work with some friends who were actually very good in ICT. For instance, I have learnt a lot from one of my group members, Barbara Kath. She has taught me a lot when it comes to handling ICT as ICT really is not my forte. The same goes with my other group members as well. Khatika Ho, Halil bin Siri and Muhammad Haziq Fahmi bin Iberahim. They were all very helpful indeed in getting the job done.

In short, one of the moral values that I have got from this week task is, as a teacher who dwells in the era of ICT, it is really fundamental for me to be equipped with adequate knowledge in particular reference, the knowledge of ICT. This is to ensure that your teaching and learning process would not be as typical as before like chalk and talk and it is also to make your teaching and learning process becomes more interesting.

Thank you!
