Career Plan

Everyone in this world have their own life journey. It depends on ourselves to shape and fill it. There are lots of challenging and sad moments and also a wonderful experience before we reach here, where we are now. Sometimes we get what we want but sometimes we don't. These experiences and lesson have taught us to be more matured and made us realize flaws in ourselves that need to be improved. But, its all about the past and present....How about the future? 

Now, I'm still studying because I've dreamed to be and educator and, InsyaAllah, this is my last semester here. I'm doing my dissertation which the research focuses on 21st Century Skills, and a little bit surprised because there's a lot of skills that students / peoples nowadays need to have to meet the career needs in the future. If we managed to get those skills, we will have a bright future. 

I have planned to be an excellent teachers in the future, so I have to provide myself with variety of skills to produce students who are excel in academic and have good and positive attitudes. And also, at the same time, I've build a dream to pursue my study to the next level of education, to help shaping a better me. I know, the way to success in life is not easy. The success of others have inspired me to continue the way of life, no matter what difficulties and obstacles that need to be faced. That might be interesting and wonderful if I can inspired other people to be with me and join me in the future milestone.  

I hope that I can contribute as much as I can to the community with the knowledge and experiences that I have, InsyaAllah. May Allah bless everything I've done in the past, present and future. 

Reflections

There are two types of reflection that is reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action. Both reflection give different meaning. Reflection-in-action is concerned with practicing critically, on the other hand, reflection-on-action occurs after the activity has taken place. It helps us to learn. Reflection is about our consciousness looking at something and thinking about our experience, actions, feelings and responses on that something and then interprete / analyze it to learn from it. 

In this blog, we have to give reflection-on-action for the activities that occurs during classes within 10 weeks. Here is the link for the reflection from Week 1 until Week 10.

• Reflection Week 1
• Reflection Week 2
• Reflection Week 3
• Reflection Week 4
• Reflection Week 5
• Reflection Week 6
• Reflection Week 7

Teaching Philosophy

A teaching philosophy is a self-reflective statement of our beliefs about teaching and learning. A teaching philosophy sets the benchmark of measuring the appropriateness of one's instructional methods, the scope of one's activities in and out of the classroom, the assessment of student learning, and the effectiveness of one's teaching.  

• In teaching, more flexible system are needed to cater range of learners to develop skills for the future and enhance knowledge in every different field. This will be achieved through teaching methodologies suited for the delivery of information and knowledge. The following teaching method need to be used to enhance learning among students:
• face to face lectures
• groups discussion
• tutorial
• presentation in class
• practical/hands-on work
• case study approach
• video presentation
• problem solving approach
• student-centered to facilitate interaction between students and lecturers in creating creative, effective and conducive learning environment.

Chaiyok!!!!

Assignment 5

Another assignment given by our lecturer are entitled Simulation / Modelling which need to be submitted on 13th of April, 2013. In this assignment, we need to select a concept or related concept for which simulation/modelling might be an appropriate ICT tool. 

Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a model be developed which represents the key characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected physical or abstract system or process. The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time. Simulation is used in many contexts such as simulation of technology for performance optimization, testing, training, education and video games. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. 

                              Chemistry Experiment Simulations and Conceptual Computer Animations

The assignment is designed using the 3E (Engage, Empower, Enhance) teaching model.

• Engage is a method that elicits students' ideas from their prior knowledge through a few questions, so that teachers could know the level of the students and where should they begin to teach the students. Teachers also could build knowledge based on students existing knowledge. This show the two way communication between teacher and student was occurred. 
• Empower is a method where experiment is conducted to increase students' knowledge and understanding on particular topic. In empower, teachers will prepare some questions from the easiest to the hardest for the students to answer, so that they might empower their knowledge. 
• Enhance is another method same as the engage but the difference is that enhance is the application of the knowledge. During enhance,suitable questions and situation was required to elicit students' idea and what they do understand to relate and apply it to the daily life. They have to think creatively and critically when answering the provided questions.

e-Portfolio

During SKP6024 classes, our lecturer ask us to prepare an educational ePortfolio (Assignment 2) to be publish on the web. This is one of the assignments needed to be done for us to complete this course....In this blog, we have to write the reflections of every activities during classes..

e-Portfolio

An electronic portfolio, also known as an e-portfolio or digital portfolio, is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. E-portfolio can serve multiple purposes. E-portfolio are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression and others. Helen Barret, an assistant professor and educational technology coordinator for the School of Education at University of Alaska said, "The power of a digital portfolio is that it allows different access to different artifacts. The user can modify the contents of the digital portfolio to meet specific goals". The ability to use hyperlinks to connect sections of portfolio content is one advantage of using e-portfolios instead of paper portfolio which is static and usually represent the only the copy of portfolio content.

Attached herewith is An Overview of e-Portfolios.

My Teaching Philosophy

Hello everyone!!!!

I believe that most of us have our own teaching philosophy, so do I. Here, I would like to share mine...What do you think about Teaching Philosophy?

I have the utmost confidence that every people is able to strive for success either in academic performance or in life. Aware of it, I should try my best to promote growth in creativity, freedom to think and discover knowledge. I believe that each different individual is unique, has different idea, opinion, and the way of thinking. These will be essential towards more comprehensive lesson that will benefit everyone. 

One of the roles of teacher is to coach and facilitate students throughout the learning process by providing information and giving useful guidance in order to achieve their target. I would like to be more involved in educational activities to expand my knowledge, and being up-to-date with the latest information to improve myself. Because, as for me, teachers should be at least two or more steps ahead of their students. I feel that it is wise to reflect on every lesson that has been conducted, so, the strength can be identified and the weakness can be rectified or improved. 

Besides, I will encourage my students to help themselves to be a student that have a variety of skills and equip themselves withe the skills to meet the challenges in future such as communication skills, digital literacy skills, inventive thinking skills and others. An educator no longer serve as an information provider but help them to be encouraged to explore every opportunity and utilize the resources around their environment, at the same time encourage them to think critically and motivated them,so that they can relate whatever thing they learn in the class with the real world and show the greatest interest in seeking knowledge. What is important is to help students to have high self-esteem, good interpersonal skills and excellent knowledge they have to mastered to survive in the world of future and also believe in their abilities and capabilities. 

Motivational Slot is Today !!!!

Date: 26th April, 2013

Early this morning I was attending a motivational slot  for post graduates students, organized by IPS, UPSI...The motivator, Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Nordin B. Kardi, was really a nice person...so awesome...I don't really know him but his name is so familiar...During this slots, he was motivating us to enjoy what we are doing now..Me, as a students, must feel so grateful that have been given a chance to further my study at my early age....He also inspired us to keep learning and learning...no matter what...Yes, of course, during this period of time, we've been having a hardship time but always think that there are always some rewards for us...utk apa sahaja yg telah dikorbankan selama ni....In his talk, he keep asking us to improve our communication skill, especially in mastering verbal English...In this blog, I might not use a correct Grammar or Vocabulary..but still......this is the process of learning... He wants us to be knowledgeable...widen our view of knowledge...not only focusing on what we are doing now...wants us to think outside the box...be more productive especially in works.... In his talks, he also mention about do not keep saying the word BUT  and BECAUSE... for example..."Now, I do have a good job but I want to further my study", "I can't attend that program because I've commitment here"... Otherwise, ALWAYS use the word AND... Just think why we should to avoid this words in our daily life...There's something meaningful here..And, really..I've learned a lot today although the slots is only 3 hours of time...Semangat baru telah disuntik seketika...memang betul kata orang...susah nak keep motivating us / others to be a good learner....Well, I have to keep motivating myself for the sake of the future...

School in the Cloud

The Future of Learning: School in the Cloud

Have you heard about school in the cloud???

What is school in the cloud??? ... is that study up into the sky??? In the cloud???...Hoho...absolutely not..When I was heard about it at first, I've been thinking a lot what is it actually....

As for me, the "School in the cloud" is a term which internet and computers are fully utilized by the students and teachers. Lots of knowledge that we can get if we use the internet wisely and precisely. Even, we can get a degree by taking an online courses. 

The educational researcher, Dr Sugata Mitra, says that the way schools currently constructed are not needed anymore. He asks the community to help him to design the School in the Cloud, a learning lab where children/students can explore and learn from each other using online resources, collaboration, and mentoring from the cloud. Dr. Sugata Mitra's "Hole in the Wall" experiments have shown that children are able to teach themselves and each other without formal teaching, if they are motivated by curiosity and peer interest.  

Dr. Sugata Mitra, the winner of  TED Prize 2013

There are no limitations on access to education where technology can offers simple solutions to complex problems which helps bringing modern educational opportunities to students wanting to learn at all level  of education.

Lets watch the video...!!!!

Reflection Week 7

Date: 06th April, 2013 (Saturday)

This week, "Peer Teaching" session starts with the presentation by Group 5 on Windows Movie Maker...

1. MovieMaker (Group 5)

Windows Movie Maker, which formerly known as Windows Live Movie Maker, is a freeware video editing software by Microsoft. It is a part of Windows Essentials software suite and offers the ability to create and edit videos as well as to publish them on SkyDrive, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr. Here is some comparison between Windows Movie Maker and Windows Live Movie Maker in the following aspects: Layout, Video Input, Editing and Output. 

A. Interface
Windows Movie Maker: The layout consists of a storyboard view and a timeline view, collections for organizing imported video, and a preview pane. When in Storyboard view, the video project appears as a film strip showing each scene in clips. The storyboard/timeline consists of one 'Video' accompanying Audio bar, one 'Music/Audio' bar and one 'Titles/Credits' bar.

Windows Live Movie Maker: In addition to a lighter color scheme, Windows Live Movie Maker works differently where you won't find the function such as a Storyboard, drop down menus, and a timeline. Windows Movie Maker used a Task based approached  to creating a movie....Windows Live Movie Maker introduce a clean design with most tools and functionality revealed through the innovative Scenic Ribbon which displays common functionality once buried under drop down menus and wizards in a gallery of easy to identify icons.

B. Video Input
Windows Movie Maker: When importing footage into the program, a user can either choose to Capture Video from camera, scanner or other device OR Import existing video files into the user's collections. The accepted formats for import are .WMV/.ASF, .MPG (MPEG-1), .AVI (DV-AVI), .WMA, .WAV, and .MP3.

Windows Live Movie Maker: We can add video files, photo files and audio files with much more video formats supported such as WMV, ASF,WM, M2TS, M2T, WTV, MP4, MOV,M4V, MPEG, MOG, MPE, M1V, MP2, MPV2,MOD, VOB and AVI.

BUT, if the videos are not supported by both, we will need to convert the videos first before importing it...


C. Video Editing
Windows Movie Maker: After capture, any clip can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the timeline. Once on the timeline, clips can be duplicated or split and any of the split sections deleted/copied using the standard Windows keyboard shortcuts or clicked and dragged to another position. Right-clicking any clips brings up the range of editing options. An AutoMovie feature offers predefined editing styles (titles, effects and transitions) for quickly creating movies.

Windows Live Movie Maker: It does totally opposites with the previously Windows Movie Maker. Task like re-arranging or copying a video clip are more visual and interactive. It displays a multiple frames in a clip, which we can use the video cursor bar to scan through a video clip and see additional sequences within the video itself. The cursor bar itself is an important element of the software and allows us to accomplish many common task in Movie Maker timeline.

D. Finished Video (Output)
Windows Movie Maker: It can only export video in Windows media formats. Earlier versions of Window Movie Maker did not support direct burning of DVDs. The project had to be saved first as an AVI file, and a separate authoring program used to produce and burn the DVD. Movie Maker also allows users to publish a finished video on video hosting websites.

Windows Live Movie Maker: It makes videos easier to share online with a few clicks. We can post video to YouTube  right from the main menu, or add a quick plug-in and easily publish to Facebook. We also can burn our creation to a DVD or save it in high definition to play on TV. Save it down to a smaller format and transfer it to mobile device or send it via e-mail.

Interesting right????...You should tried it first and choose which one is more easier and convenient to use...

The learning sessions continued by another group presenting on Microsoft One Note....

2. Microsoft OneNote (Group 7)

Microsoft OneNote or formerly called Microsoft Office OneNote, is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. It gathers users notes (Handwritten or typed), drawings, screen clippings, and audio commentaries, and shares them with other OneNote users over the internet. In OneNote, users can enter typed text via keyboard, create tables and insert pictures anywhere. OneNote also saves data automatically as the users works. It also saves information in pages organized into sections within notebooks. The interface is an electronic version of a tabbed ring binder, in which the user can directly makes notes and gather material from other applications. In OneNote, users can insert, create tables, add pictures and create mind maps. User also can write in any corner of the document by simply clicking on the desired place. OneNote is commonly used on laptops or desktop PCs. For users who use the tablet PC, they can make notes in OneNote using handwriting or pen. More interestingly, OneNote can also make calculations by just typing numbers and mathematical operations. Among other privileges OneNote, users can insert pictures from the web without crop or copy but by just using the screen clipping and also can extract any writings from the picture. Additionally, OneNote also allows users to create a password for the confidential files. Very interesting, is it?? For students and teachers, OneNote is very useful for making notes.

Lastly, our lecturer give a brief lecture on the use of  CamStudio...

3. CamStudio (By Cik Asmayati)

 

CamStudio is a screen casting program for Microsoft Windows released as free software, which renders video in an AVI format that can record audio and activities performed on the computer screen. Its also known as Desktop Screen Recorder. This software is useful for teachers to produce a video demonstration of the R&D process. 

Some tutorial of CamStudio are here: CamStudio Info , CamStudio User Guide , CamStudio Tutorial , and demo from Youtube.

Wow...what a great knowledge I've learn today...I might not know about these software or program if I didn't take this course....

Thanks to all presenters for the info that you've given...

Reflection Week 5

Date: 23rd March, 2013 (Saturday)

1. Picasa (Group 3)

Week 5...now, it's turn for Group 2 to do their presentations. Group 2 will be presenting about Picasa, a quite new software for me....

Picasa is an image organizer and image viewer for organizing and editing digital photos, plus an integrated photo-sharing website...We can download it to view, edit and organize our photo collection. For organizing photo, Picasa has file importing and tracking features, as well as tags, facial recognition and collections for further sorting. It also offers several basic photo editing functions, such as color enhancement, red eye reduction, cropping, slide shows, collage, image timelines. Besides, we also can produces a video using Picasa but with limited functions compared to Movie Maker. 

For me, this software is quite interesting...we just need to spend some times to explore it..

Have Fun...

Finally, we managed to do well....Alhamdulillah..

Drop Down Menu

The next lesson is how to be a  followers of other bloggers. We must be a follower of our lecturer, Cik Asmayati's blog..and also blogs of our classmates. So, we can exchange idea, shares information with others...

After we've learned the basic of creating a blog, it is our duty to decorate our blog with our own creativity...to make it more attractive and meaningful...Besides, we need to upload all of our assignments throughout this semester on our blog and write reflections of those lectures...I hope that the information that I've shared in this blog will be meaningful to everyone..

Thank you so much to Group 1 members for their effort to teach us...

Reflection Week 3

Date: 09th March, 2013 (Saturday)


1. Blog (Group 1) 

The presentation slots, that is "Peer Teaching" has began this week. Group 1 starts the presentation with the title on "How to Create A Blog". Most of us might know about blog. I do know about blog and have a lot of beautiful and creative blog....but never thought that I will create a blog for myself....because I don't even know how to create it..Thanks to all  facilitators a.k.a presenters for the information..They helps us a lot..taught us step by step on how to create a blog...The most important thing to create this blog, we must have a Google account...

We felt so excited bcoz most of us do not know how to create it...so do I...The most frustration part is the internet access at that room is quite slow...Well, it's ok..we still focus on doing it....The presentation focus more on templates, layout, post, and more...they also taught us a little bit about "Drop Down Menu"...we have a little difficulties on doing this part coz it involves "coding"...Biasalah kan..baru belajar..takkan dah pandai terus...right???....Pendek kata, we need to focus  tok buat blog ni..huhu...Fokus..memang penting dalam semua perkara yang kita lakukan...

The clock ticking so fast...3 hours of lecturer was not enough to learn to make an interesting blog..This presentation will be continued next week....

Reflection Week 2

Date: 02nd March, 2013 (Saturday)

This week, our lecturer introduced us a wonderful and interesting learning medium through video, that is Khan Academy. It's really help us to improve our understanding of such concepts especially chemistry. All videos on this site is free and it can be used by teachers and students in the teaching and learning process. 

The Khan Academy is a non-profit educational website created in 2006 by American educator, Salman Khan, a graduate of MIT and Harvard Business School. The stated mission is "providing a high quality education for anyone, anywhere". The website supplies a free online collection of more than 4,000 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathemathics, physics, chemistry, biology, and more.

As long as I remembered, when I was in secondary school, this kind of learning medium couldn't be felt. There's a lot of changes and features that can be used in T&L process in school nowadays. Students, in fact, should use this opportunity to make them excel and succeed in academics performance. 

Salman Khan at TED 2011. 

The Mole and Avogadro's Number

Besides knowing about Khan Academy, we're also given a task to choose any software for each group and present it during classes of the following weeks. The software that have been chosen for our Peer Teaching are Blog (Group 1), Picasa (Group 2), Microsoft Publisher (Group 4), ChemSketch (Group 3), OneNote (Group 7), MovieMaker (Group 5), Prezi (Group 8), Microsoft PowerPoint (Group 6), Microsoft Excel (Group 9). 

Of course, this might be an interesting and exciting moment for me coz I will learn something new, something that I've never know it whereabouts. This ICT class has given me a platform to learn something new and valuable....that I might used in future...=)

Reflection Week 1

Date: 23rd February, 2013 (Saturday)

New semester has begun. As usual, in the first week, the class session starts with getting know about classmate, and the most important is the introduction of course / subject that we've gonna learn this semester, Technology and Innovation in Teaching and Learning Chemistry, or simply called, SKP 6024. This course actually discuss the current issues and trends of technology in secondary chemistry education. Students will be exposed to a variety of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) application, which include the role of simulations and modelling, internet and web-based applications. And the most interesting is, this course will be led by our most experienced and enjoyable lecturer, Ms Asmayati Yahaya. During this introductory session, students were told about activities that need to be done to complete the course throughout this semester. I was so excited with this course because it will provide me the new knowledge, especially about education.

1. Online Forum at MyGuru 2

Students are needed to give comments or idea for each issues given in the forum. Students must log in to MyGuru 2 portal to respond. The date of forum will be open or forum expired has already being set. Students should actively participate in this activity as more information and knowledge that we can share and get through it. Each student has different experiences in their careers, so they can share their experience with the related issues discussed. 

2. Google Drive

One of the new things I've learned today is about Google Drive, an application that I've already noticed but never used it. During this lecture, I found that this application is very convenient, safe and we do not have to worry that we will lose the important documents if our computer or laptop is damaged. Quite interesting, right??

Well, FYI, Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service provided by Google, which enables user cloud storage, file sharing and collaborative editing. Google Drive is now the home of Google Docs, a suite of productivity application, that offer collaborative editing on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Google Drive gives all users 5 GB of cloud storage for free to start with.
