This is the first time I have a blog and writting in a blog. I think if not because of this course, I would never create my own blog, this is a good try and a good start!
This is the first lesson after I had been rested for nine months. Last semester I applied holiday because I was pregnant. My life will be busy again with my job, my course and my baby, I tell myself I need to manage my time very well to make sure I can cope three papers in this sem!
When I first saw madam Ng I was shocked to know this young lady is my lecturer, after listening to the explanation about the course, I found madam Ng is a very systematic person and she always make herself clear.
I am currently using power point presentation and videos from youtube in my chemistry class, but I feel these are not enough because the students easily get bored after a few power point slide, when I am showing the video, the students are excited, but I couldn't get many suitable videos to show them due to the different syllabus in Malaysia and other countries. After this class, I knew there are many technology tools can make the interesting teaching aid on our own, making comic is the one, I think students would be more interesting in reading the comic than the boring power point slide...
Regarding the video of 'learning in digital age', I find what the professor saying is very true, the teaching method using now must be different from the teaching method used in the olden day as what our teacher did last time, students now are very smart in using the digital devices, and they love to use it too. By using the technology, the students can form collaborative group online, this is say to help the students learn better when they form study group online just like when they are playing war craft or other online game, they can discuss and learn together. Actually they are learning virtually among themselve.
