Maximizing the use of COMPUTER LAB=)


Recently, most of the schools had been provided with a computer lab for each school.. This action had been taken as the initiative to fulfill the requirement as been stated in Syllabus and Curriculum Specification.. English Language, Mathematics and Science are among the subjects that had been emphasized for integrating Information Technology (IT)..

For this reason, first and foremost teacher should be well-equipped with all the related to Information Technology (IT) such as computer skills, software, web sites etc. This is to ensure the learning run smoothly, and teacher knows how to deal with the upcoming technical error.. Next, teacher in-charge of the computer lab should always take good care of the computer lab (make sure all computers functioning well).. Therefore, the computers are enough to be used by pupils ..

From my perspective, teachers are the responsible persons to maximize the use of computer lab..They should model to pupils to use the available Educational Websites.. Consequently, pupils will able to apply this knowledge to search the information they needed.. In order to support pupils' learning, teacher might provide them with the lists of Educational Websites that they can use for finding additional materials..

Next, teacher need to prepare tasks that require pupils to to use the technology..For illustration, making portfolio on certain topic by searching the information from the Internet.. Thus, teacher can bring pupils to the computer lab and facilitate them to do the task..

Blogging can be also applied to make the best use of computer lab.. Teacher should build their own blog despite of the school website..This will help pupils to keep in touch with the teacher.. Furthermore, this could be a way for pupils to ask help from teacher regarding their studies and also sharing the information with their classmates..

In the nutshell, there are many ways to promote the use of computer lab.. This is teacher's accountability to make the most of computer lab.. For that reason, we should upgrade our skills and put the efforts so that we manage to use the computer lab to the maximum=)
