getting Engaged!

Hai.During the lesson for the past 3 weeks,I was realy enjoyed with the usage of Technologies (smart board) to be engaged.I realized that LOST concept is an effective method to approach students and make them to try ,to feel,to understand in a easier way their classrooms lesson.Im very comfortable to use ICT technologies compared to the old style (chalk n talk) as it ensure learning continuity,support anytime,anywhere(blogging). By using this IWB,I strongly believe that im able to integrate ict technologies in the subject (Maths n Science) and to be more innovative,creative in my teaching.

Download driver

In the third class, I’ve learned more about how to download and install printer driver from the internet. It’s look easy, but at the same time I know what is the most useful and faster web to download the driver. In this class also it can improve my public speaking because we have to present it to the classmate. ~ SYAH FAZREE ~

Smart board

For the second class, I’ve learned how to use digital camera and get to know more about printer. But the most interesting for me in that class was how to use the smart board. It is because that was my first experience using it, so that really interesting for me. Smart board for me, not just can make teachers easier to teach the students, it can also engage students. I’m really looking forward to use Smart board when I’m teaching soon. ~ SYAH FAZREE ~

engage

In my first class, I am very interested about the topic engage or enrage. It give me an idea how to attract student to really enjoy when attend my class. As what was I’m experience before, in my time teachers always gave 1 way communication and just teach to finish the syllabus. That can make students very bored and it also can limit students to interest to the subject. For me, I’ll make sure when I’m teaching soon, I will using the method that I’ve been learn here. Such as, 2 way communication, engage them with group activity and activity that can make them think. ~ SYAH FAZREE ~

ENGAGE & NOT ENRAGE ( Thennarasu )

Being here for three weeks has made me realize many things that i thought was not relevant. Due to personal experience, i assumed that learning process was more centered to what they want us to know. Not to deny that the education process that i went through was boring. I would consider my self very lucky to be here and be able to learn about innovation and technology in education. This opportunity would enable me to equip myself with the necessary knowledge and skills to incorporate I&T in my teaching process. The activities in this class are really engaging and i hope that i could conduct all my classes in future in a very interesting manner.But what makes me wonder is that the fact that this method and techniques are not practiced widely in our country..WHY??No matter whatever the reason is, i hope with this group of new would be teachers, we can implement new ideas and engage the students. Last but not least, don't be just another teacher, take the first step and make a difference.

My last class 23/1/07 - - ~ (AZIMI)

Nothing to comment on our last class since the technical part teaching is what I do for my living. Assembling computer componen is quite easy, all it take just some extra effort and bravery to discover. Even with all the knowledge you have, there stil a lot of thing to learn from that class, like how to past the knowledge you have to other so that they can also be good. Then a question arise, it's worth to teach other the same knowledge you have and compete with them...

Below are two website i recomended for user to search for driver:

1. http://www.driverguide.com

This website is quite user friendly to search for driver. The only problem is you need to register with the website first, yet I found it quite easy. I recommend this website for new user as it provide easy navigating and user friendly environment.

You just need to click on the picture at the center of the website and follow the instruction on the next page. Each picture represent the driver category (Example : printer are categorize under “printer/plotter/multi-office”. When to type the device name in the search box, please used exact device name as the search engine quite nomad.

2. http://www.driverzone.com

This website is similar to the first website in functionality yet different it operating. The website provide link to download the driver at the manufacturer website. The good news is that the driver downloaded is the latest and official provided by the manufacturer. The not really good news is new user may lost track when reaching the manufacturer website. I recommend this website for advance user.

Writer choice:
I chose none of above as I use different method of driver searching. Mostly I use yahoo to search for driver where I will click on the manufacturer website link. I prefer to download driver at the official website as it provide the latest driver. Another reason is if you unfamiliar with internet environment, you may searching driver at the wrong place where they may give you bad driver or maybe the just giving you virus or spam acting your driver. Chose carefully and freely ask the expert for the sake you your computer.
