Final Polish on Notebook Project!

The presentations of our Notebook project moved well. Comments were given by our prof as well as all the tutors. I would say it supported me alot and I take this opportunity to thank those helping hands. I have gone through my piece of work many times and edited my work till it reach my satisfaction. As for now, my project is almost done. Since I just read Ms Ng's post in moodle, i am planning to find out whether my work contains all her requirements. If it's not, definitely i will not hesitate to modify it again since I am in love with this Notebook Software. Seriously, it has given me confidence to teach the kids in future. I can't deny it's benefits!Excellent! In my personal opinion, if each school has atleast one piece of smartboard it would be great and pupils would enjoy it. It tends to keep them progressing in their work too. So, back to my project, well, we going to submit the project in a few days time. I still have some time to do something about it.

2nd approach in Notebook

This week my entire time was spent for the completion of my smart board project. I am so relieved and happy to say that i have done my work with satisfaction. I have worked hard on the assignment by collecting activities, editing them according to my selected target group and modify them to by integrating cretive elements such as animations. The website on 'heathersanimations' really gave a big hand to me in making my project colourful and attractive. My activities developed for Year 5 pupils and i seriously feel that it will be very useful for them to explore on 'prepositions'. By attempting this notebook project of mine, children will be able to acquire and understand all the rules and ideas of prepositions because i have used some pictures too to teach preposition. This is because, i always have the belief that visual learning is very effective. Add to the point, pupils will be automatically attracted to pictures in nature. Moreover, i have also inserted the element making a gradual flow for all my activities so that pupils will be able to do them from easy to diificult. This enhances their motivation to attempt the activities well and at the same time give them confidence. NNext week, we are to choose the best from our group and present our project to the class and our lecturers will be commenting on it. Hope what i have done is appropriate to the context

notebook

The process of planning and collecting details and information for my Notebook project is done. Now it is the time for me to decide on what activity to be chosen to suit the level of proficiency of the pupils. Some requirements are given to us and we are to satisfy all of them. As for now, a few activities have been done but I'm still not very sure whether those activities have the flow or not.So, the editing process is going on time to time. Since this software has a wide scope, we can easily add animations, create shapes,colours with gradient effects and so on. It is very interesting to create activities which are beneficial as well as eye-catching. Another one week to climb up...So, i m very busy manipulating and creating activities right no since the very first file of my Notebook project got corrupted all in a sudden. So, i am trying very hard and putting alot of efforts to make this project a succcess!

Wow, half more to go!

I am trying my level best to explore the smart board software. Wow, it really great.Suprisingly, so so so much of things embedded in it. The magic pen,images, designs, and alot more. I think if schools are provided with smart board facilities of course, students can benefit alot from it. Teachers and students will be more likely in a comfortable and relaxed zone during the teaching and learning process using smart board.At the same time, it is very seful and meaningful too. Well, the smart board project given to us, is obviosly interesting as well as fun. I am seriosly enjoying my journey into this project. As for now, i have done half and another half to fight with. The topic of mine is "prepositions". I have went into the topic in depth. Iv prepared alot of activities for upper primary level pupils. By approaching these activities, i am sure, pupils will have a wider insight on prepositions. It will be very useful for them. CAN'T wait to teach those kids with this smart board!

video reflection and upcoming project! :-)

Prof Maznah and all 78 of us reflected on the video project. It was fun since we got the chance to express the sweet and sour moments we went through in the project.We had a very casual talk among each other sharing our ideas on how to make the video project more meaningful and useful in future. Then, we discovered what were the soft skills used and experienced by us during the entire project when Prof Maznah discussed about it. I was glad that i am able to acquire most of the skills such as cooperation, determination, motivation and etc. Then, another interesting event was added into my diary, the 3rd assignment! Its totally on how to use smartboard notebook to explore on a teaching topic. It sound very enjoying! We were to stick into the same group and start exploring and thank god we were able to divide our jobs and decide on which topic each to be taken. All of us without heart feelings gave green light to each other! And whats next ? Of course, got to prepare and start putting our thought on how to make it a success, rite?

principles in learning TECH

SMART BOARD realy WORTH WHiLE

Well, let put a fullstop for video clip first. its over. This week , we had the chance to approach a smart board experienced user, Ms Fenny during our lesson. She really benefitted us with her ideas on smart board -interacive board. she shared as much as she can. shortly telling, smart board is worth while! You must never miss the chance of learning. just grap the opportunity. Teachers especially can really make use of it in their lesson. what you can't find there? Everything is there awaiting for you in smart board. so, i feel the government should give emphasis on this crucial component and fix each school a smart board so that teachers as well as students can be exposed to the functions of smart board. It easifies and simplifies their jobs and save much time. In our class, although we were already exposed to smart board, but still there were limited chance to explore it, but Ms. Fenny hepled us to explore and teach some new items in it which i found very interseting, meaningful and useful for me as a future teacher. Hope my school in future will have smart board facilities and i can use all my ideas here and apply for my kids in school. We were assigned to do a lesson using smart board , and we have done it as best as we can...:--))
