Reflection 4

Salam,

First of all, sorry for not being able to keep my blog updated week by week. Well, I have been keeping myself really busy with lots and lots of works. Let us get back to what I have learnt from the previous weeks of lectures. In the fourth week of lecture, we were taught about the Instructional Models-ASSURE model to be specific.

We have done with our video presentation which was actually a part of our assessments. So, this week, I have learnt about ASSURE model which I believe is an effective model which can be incorporate in designing lesson plans. This will ensure that the lesson plans will be more interesting, attractive and more importantly will address the needs of diverse students in the class.

 One thing that really grasps my attention is that in order to make the lesson plans become more interesting, a teacher should integrate the use of ICT in their teaching and learning process. As an illustration, our previous video presentation is actually one of the means that can be used to be integrated in our teaching and learning process. A teacher should not only use text book perse but also should able to add in the use of ICT so that the students become more interested in learning something new.

I personally think that, students nowadays are more into things that are related to technology. In fact, I believe that their command of using technology might be much better than some of the teachers. Thus, it is really fundamental for us as a teacher to keep enhancing our ICT knowledge so that we can make use of technology to the fullest.

Thank you!
