Reflection

Assalamualaikum... this is my reflection for this course. Actually ICT is very interesting  thing if we can explore through out the content. As we can see, almost thing  that we do are related to ICT  include the education. Education system today is not perfect without ICT. So, this subject  ICT in Science is very importance course that should be learn. There were a lot of new thing  that I got after learnt this course. The assignments and what I have learned in lab give me a lot of new experience.  The first assignment is about  Issue and Challenges in Integrating ICT in Teaching and Learning in Our Malaysian School. Although there are some of the barrier and problem but ICT can prepare our children for successful lives and carriers in an increasingly technological world. Malaysia’s National Philosophy of Education calls for “developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically balanced and harmonious.” From the intellectual aspect, ICT helped to fulfil the education philosophy.

Assignment 2 is also related to ICT but what are the government effort to develop ICT in the education system. So, Smart School concept was invented by Ministry of Education since 1996. The concept based on critical and creative teaching and learning. Technology as an enabler became an important component when the Smart School Project was made one of the Flagship Applications of the Multimedia Super Corridor. The Malaysian Smart School is a learning institution that has been systemically reinvented in terms of teaching and learning as well as the improvement of the school management processes in order to help students cope and leverage on the Information Age.

For assignment 3, I have know about the Modelling and simulation where this technique was very interesting if we can use in teaching and learning process. This assignment also open my mind that there are a lot of way that we can use in teaching and learning at school especially in science subject. Assignment 4, is about data logging. Data logging is commonly used in scientific experiments and in monitoring systems where there is the need to collect information faster than a human can possibly collect the information and in cases where accuracy is essential. I have apply this data logger during the experiment Physics I and II before but don’t really know about it. Known I know that data logger is also among of the interesting technique that we can use as a teacher.

Beside that, there are several thing that I learned during the lab session. First, I learned more about how to crop the picture by using paint software.  Before this I just use the paint software to draw and not explore more. I also learned how to use Window Movie maker to create a video. This was familiar to me because I have already learn how to use this software. But I like it. Furthermore, I was exposed to STELLA Software. We employ STELLA modelling in combination with investigative exercises and experiments. From this software I have choose the sample of modelling and simulation.

The most interesting thing I like in this course it about the Blog or we called as E-portfolio. Now I have my own blog and created by my own. Before this I really don’t know how to create a blog. In this blog I have put all my assignment and what I have learned in this course for this semester. I hope that I can learned more about ICT because it is the thing that was interesting to be explore to improve our self  as a future teacher.
