9 secrets is revealed!

1. What I like about blogging…

I feel free to write. I feel free to reflect what I have learnt and gained. I feel free to express my opinions. I feel free to be creative and play with language. I feel free to access and narrate my own story. I feel free to treat is as my own diary. I feel free to grab this veto power that I had to write and write. Lastly, blogging is free.

2. What I do not like about blogging…

If date lines are concerned, the enthusiast to write blogs is swept away.

3. What have I gained from blogging eg. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc. How?

Writing skills. I did lots of writing via blogging. I hope my writing skills is improved and while nobody is there to correct me, I myself who corrects it. Feedbacks- I need it. To those who visit my page, do drop your comment ya! Your comments indirectly makes me learning something new which me myself do not realize it. While writing, there’s a lot of thinking skills takes place and indirectly, it does improve my thought processes. Before all the above happen, I only get to know BlogSpot for a few months, I think this is technology. I’m learning something new and that is skill- technology skill. I’ve learnt a lot. Thanks.

4. What I like about the course…

I like this course as I learn on how to develop my own teaching aids. Photo editing, audio editing, video editing, internet skills, and e-book are the things that I had learnt. In fact, I do need to depend on courseware or software because I myself can develop those resources. I hope I can save them and use it in the real classroom.

5. What I do not like about the course?

I don’t like the idea of developing and using resources when it restricted to the use of technology. I would like to be try something new and weird by using both techno and non-techno.

6. What I have learnt from the course?

IT literate.

7. What I do not expect but have learnt from the course

scrutinizing technology into the max?

8. What I expect but have not learnt from the course?

I expect that I can use various resources from the things surrounding me and the resources do not have to be from technological things only. Am I correct?

9. If they can change anything about the course, state what it is and explain.

If they want to make changes about this course, I would say that please emphasize more on developing and using non-technological resources as well. Look, there is the possibility not all the school and not all the classroom are equipped with technology. Thus, it will create problems for us, the future teachers, who are spending a very long hour to create technological teaching aids but lastly end up with no use because- no electricity. I would suggest that, do emphasize on developing and using materials from non-technological things as well. You can keep it and recycle them. Depends on time, sometimes technology is needed to. To save time. But we do not have to scrutinize things over a thing. Make it balance. I knew you can change it.

my wish to you

I don’t like to write blog initially. “Its kinda intruding my personal life”- my inner heart said it. When you write, people can read what you are doing and what you are experiencing with. But I was totally wrong. Completely wrong. I wish somebody introduce me about this thingy thing when I was still a small small kid. Its fun! Rather than wasting your time by doing unbeneficial things, im sure that this is the best therapy for people like me. Luckily this course requires me to write blogs and it’s compulsory. That’s make me addicted to this online diary. Yeah. Its like a diary. My diary on what happen in the class and what I’ve learnt throughout this semester. Blogging thought me to be creative in delivering my message and my experiences too. I should be a good planner. To not confusing people and to make my message successfully delivered, I should be a good planner in arranging the inputs. I wish people outside there have the opportunity to read what I had written on my BlogSpot. I wish that people will appreciate what I have written here. I wish out of thousand people will be able to gain knowledge from my writings. I wish they can share with their family members, friends, peers or colleagues. I wish they could know me because I’m doing this not for the sake of money but for my passion of writing. I hope that the growing number of people visiting my page will increase from the value of 0 to 00. I hope people will say this to me one day, “Thank You”. But upon all, I want to Thank You to my lecture, Pn. Foziah who let this become real. Thank You. =)

who likes to eat McD?

The toughest days I had throughout this October is to finish the four language skills Assignment. I received a topic on ‘Healthy Living’ for Year 4 pupils. It’s a tough topic for me and to prepare four lesson plans for four skills in just a few days really driving me crazy. Without a blueprint or samples from any resources, I really feel exhausted while doing it. But it’s assignment. I still have to do it! It’s just a saying- to motivate me. To make my life easier, I bought a Year 4 text book to be my references. The text book really helped me a lot or else I will die like a fish in the pond covered by acid. I then try to search for videos in Youtube and amazingly, there are so many videos that related to my topic. So as pictures. There are many of them. I searched for pictures such as Taekwondo, Gymnastics which is related to sports and also healthy food and Food Pyramid. Thousands of them in Yahoo. I’m so glad. I wish I could use it later when I was teaching. It was then funny. One of my lesson plans, I advice the children for not to eat junk foods but after my assignment finished, I was in McD - eating healthily the BigMac Burgers with French fries and Coke. =)



*to teachers outside, do check out available restaurants to eat something that contradicts to your teaching. As a mean not to end up, ‘Kantoi!’ by your students. =)

a funny poem

The dentist pulled my tooth out


The dentist pulled my tooth out

and he thought it was such fun

he grabbed his pliers

and dental pryers

and pulled another one.

"Yippee! Hooray! What awesome fun!"

he shouted out with glee.

He grinned a grin

then went back in

and pulled out number three.

Then number four and number five

and numbers six and seven

were followed by

a cheerful cry

Of "Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven!"

He took a few more from the top

and some from underneath,

he yanked them fast

until at last

he'd pulled out all my teeth.

Without my teeth I cannot chew;

I just eat soup and mush.

But don't be sad

I'm kind of glad--

I'll never have to brush!
