How you as a teacher will be learning?

A teacher who uses technology in his or her classroom is a brave and creative teacher. As a teacher, technology will allow me to learn wherever I want. I can always prepare the content for my teaching anytime. Besides, technology introduces me to other resources that I can use in my teaching. Instead of using traditional teaching aids such as cue cards, picture cards, word cards and etc, I can use animation, video clips, e-book and etc. These types of resources are more interesting and attractive especially to the primary school students. The teaching will be more exciting and attract students’ interest and sustain their interest towards the teaching and learning process. Moreover, through the use of technology, I can find out new approaches that can be used in teaching such as silent way, audio-lingual method, total physical response and etc.

How technology is going to affect how your students are going to be learning?

Using technology can affect students learning in many ways. For instance, using video clips or songs as introduction for teaching can stimulate students’ interest towards learning. Besides, it can lower down the students’ affective filter. When their affective filter is low, they will be relaxed. Thus, learning will takes place and they will learn and understand better. Moreover, colourful pictures, interesting animation, and etc make learning become more enjoyable and exciting. By using technology, students are able to comprehend the learning better instead of continuous explanation.
Furthermore, technology can enhance students’ learning. It is because it acts as a scaffolding tool for students to acquire the language or knowledge since students are able to manipulate the technology to enhance their learning. Other than that, if teachers use technology in their teaching, it will involve student’s participation in the learning. Besides, it also encourages students to be independent and confident by exploring the technology with the help of the teacher. Moreover, technology can increase students’ motivation and achievement in learning. In addition, most students are already familiar with the technology. For instance, computer, camera, radio, calculator, mobile phone and etc. thus, by using technology in the classroom, teacher will be able to produce students who are innovative and creative.

Assalamualaikum..

This is the first time for me to have a blog.
I'm not really good in dealing with technology.
Nevertheless, it doesn't make me to be unmotivated to learn in this class.
Having Prof. Maznah as the lecturer and Ms. Ng as tutor makes me looking forward to learn more about technology.
I can imagine that I will enjoy this class eventhough I know nothing about technology.
Hopefully I can get an A for this subject with the guidance of Prof. Maznah and Ms. Ng.
To Prof. and Ms. Ng, I really need your guidance to become a technology literate.
To all my friends hope you guys can help me in this class.
I will need your help and guidance also.
salam..
