my 2nd reflection

our lesson starts 30 minutes after 10am. because before that, we need to elect one leader and a treasurer. hazwan was elected as a leader and dominic was a treasurer. i know that they can do it well. then after the election, we were asked to complete a set of questionnaires. the items asked about our knowledge on computer skills. i realized that there's a lot of computer skills and knowledge that i need to gain. oh my God!!

This was a new experience for me as I did not know that, if we used a correct way of using keyboard, we could type faster than before. Actually, if we take a look at the keyboard, the letter "F" and "G" was the center of the keyboard. The left hand was responsible for "F" territory only, meanwhile the right hand side was only for "G" area.
The correct position while using keyboard

Puan Foziah told us the reason for that. It was because, our right hand is more stronger compared to the left hand side. That is why right hand covered large area so that, we will not get fatigue when typing. The position when typing also important where we must be comfortable. Our hand need to be at the same level with the keyboard in order to avoid from fatigues. I think, on second class, we had learn many meaningful lesson for example, without willingness to carry such responsibilities, all of our deeds are not going to be bless by GOD, and we were also learned on how to use keyboard in a right way.

but, i am a left handed. will this techniques help me??? please guys, answer me!!!!! wuwuwuwuw.......

my first reflection

my first impression when i heard the course subject was that i will deal with teaching aids again. however, when i entered the class, i was shocked because the first thing i saw were computers. never in my life i will make teaching aids using computers. by the way, the lecturer for this course named Puan Foziah bt Mahmood. She gave a warm welcome to us and she treated us well. The subject PBEY 3102- Using and Developing Resources for the ESL Classroom, Puan Foziah told us that, we will be using technology in using and developing resources meaning that, it will not be the same with what I'm expected! We were only using one printed material which was there's a book entitled "Preparing and Using Visual Aids for English Language Teaching". It is a good book actually. There's a lot of procedures for T-L activities, how to develop our own materials and many more. the book entitled "1000 activities for children" helped us as well. I hope, I could use this book for my teaching later. In this course, instead of using books, we will undergo this subject through integration of technology where we will learn how to familiarized ourselves with selecting, adapting, designing, and evaluating materials for teaching the ESL at the primary schools. It sounds familiar to me but I bet, this subject will be very different from what i had learned before because, we will be using technology and ICT in developing our teaching materials. Puan Foziah had requested us to bring a picture of passport size, 8gb of pendrive, and she asked us to install the Adobe Photoshop CS3 version and create a blog for this subject. wow!! i never had a blog. now i know the use of it. but still, i need to learn to make one. hope it will not be boring. i do not like that word.
