Developing Interactive Teaching activities..

INTERACTIVE..I believe this powerful word challenge our thought, skill, creativity and critical thinking to produce a good teaching material.. Developing INTERACTIVE teaching activities require us to be analytical, innovative and practical..

With referring to ASSURE model, analytical in sense of knowing the characteristics of the pupils targeted.. We have to analyze pupils’ learning style, their level of proficiency, prerequisite knowledge or skills, emotional, cultural or economic issues that might hinder them from learning effectively.. Therefore, this knowledge about pupils’ characteristics will help us to determine the Learning Outcomes to be achieved by pupils at the end of the lesson..

Additionally the second step of ADDIE model is designing phase. For me, we have to be innovative at this stage.. Innovative makes an activity to be appealing to pupils.. However, as teacher we also have to be practical with the graphic design so as to ensure that the presentation of the activity approachable to them..

Good luck to all.. I hope we all manage to create INTERACTIVE teaching activities for this assignment.. Gambate!!

Not just an ordinary board

Schools usually fulls with notice board, white board or black board..But maybe 10 years from now, our schools, universities and local institutions will be using the SMART board..I believe this SMART board is one of the latest educational project in Malaysia..huhu!

Knowing SMART board in this early time feels like the first time when Computer being introduced those days..A USEFUL and EFFECTIVE classroom should be provided for students..

SMART board as a tool in language classroom could be one of the solution for our schools..The teaching and learning process can be more INTERACTIVE and MEANINGFUL with the use of SMART board..However, as this is new for all of us..we should learn and explore first before using it in classroom..

This semester, we had the opportunity to get used with SMART board.. So let us grab this opportunity to master the skills..Therefore, we could be the GENERATOR for the future teaching profession.."DARE TO MAKE CHANGES" spirits should be in all of us..

Finally, after producing our own video for learning purpose, best of luck from me for our next task which is to produce an INTERACTIVE and MEANINGFUL lessson by using SMART board..Gambate!!

Video Editing in Process

Life changes as time changes..
Before this, we had to find, adapt or modify etc resources from library or internet..And now, we ourselves had to produce the material..Now I realized that to make one was harder than to adapt one..For my assignment, I had already taken few scenes..
But somehow I still could feel the worries..Worries of how well my production will be..I knew that this course will be challenging..Just like the feeling of fighting with my own self..Build up my own skills and endurance..As well as my passion in teaching..
That's interesting..that's really interesting..
We have to think about our client which is the STUDENTS..meaning this video is not for anyone ELSE BUT MADE FOR STUDENTS..This is to make this video to be a success..Now let's do our best shot guys..huhu..This is the experience once in a lifetime, being both producer also actor or actress..btw we have to try hard to convince our client..
Good luck to all =)
