The final week of PBEY 3102

As we know, we are required to write blogs throughout this whole semester any tasks or events regarding this course. Blogging has helped me to express my ideas and thoughts as well as opinions to my course members and also those who view this site. Through blogging also, I can know what are people's comments towards my points of view. As a result, we enchance our knowledge and expand our skills in writing. Besides that, blogging encourages us to state on our points based on rationality which requires critical and creative thinking. Furthermore, by blogging, we can develop our ICT skills as we learn to browse for picture to decorate blog, search for information on the content of the blog and so on. However, what I dislike in blogging is that it takes ages some times to upload photos in this blog. In other terms, blogging is a cool activity.

This course seriously turned me to a new person. Before this, I had the inferiority because I would be very blur whenever someone talks to me about technological matters to me. Now, I can share something about it with my friends. Thus, I would say that this course boost my self-confidence and I love it! Unfortunately, I realized that something lacks in this course which is the creating non-technological stuffs. Actually, at the beginning of this course, I was expecting that we would prepare materials such as puppets, flashcards and masks. In short, I am happy that I have gained lots of ICT skills through this course. Thank you, Puan Foziah and TESL members...

Yippie! exam is over

The exam fever for PBEY3102 is over. Phewww....After burning the midnight oil to do revision on the notes, the 2hours test finally came to its end. I was quite nervous when I saw the exam paper. The exam questions was quite tough than what I expected. Even though the questions were related to what we have learnt throughout the year, my brain just could not work for a moment due to nervousness. Some how, I managed to answer them. I just hope that I have provided the correct answer for every question. For those who have doubt on their answers in the exam paper, do not worry and let us concentrate on organising our Portfolio. Good Luck!

Oh my god...Four lesson plans???

This is what I muttered to myself when Puan Foziah asked us to construct 4 lesson plans as our third assignment. The lesson plans must be done based on the topic and year that we got through the draw lots. Mine was about homes. I have no idea what the content of the topic would be. Before starting on the lesson plans, I borrowed the text books from neighbours and cousins. Besides that, I went to the bookshop and bought some primary school exercise books so that can be used as a guide when creating the task sheet of the lesson plan. I began working on my third assignment. In the lesson plans, I have applied my learnt skill through PBEY3102 course which are photo editing, eBook, extracting audio, downloading video and so on. I cannot imagine myself doing this as I was a really really bad in this technological and ICT stuffs before this. Now, it is simple as ABC. Through this third assignment, I realized why Puan Foziah asked to do 4 lesson plans. In schools, children will be taught on a topic for the whole week, not one day one topic. Therefore, the children must be enhanced with the four language skills in the topics. As teachers in primary school, we need to prepare lesson plans for a whole week regarding one topic. Therefore, this four lesson plans actually served as a mild training for us in preparation for practicum. So, this assignment has been an exposure on how to connect from one lesson to another.
