This time, I entered Puan Foziah’s class sharp at her time even though she changed to 30 minutes earlier. Before I start to reflect what I learned in this week, I would like to share with you about the first module that we received last week.
The module contains few sections that are divided into several chapters. Some of the sections are Web Searching, Downloading, Encoding, Burning, Compressing File and so forth. Each of these sections is divided into several chapters. For example, in Encoding, it has the module on how to convert from mp3 file to WAV file, from WAV file to mp3 file, how to search song from Jango.com, how to watch video from YouTube and many more. What we need to do was we supposed to make slide presentations on how each of these sections is carried out. We need to print screen the steps and paste them on he Microsoft PowerPoint. In addition, according to Puan Foziah, if we want to get extra marks we can do some extra works by making extra PowerPoint on other software or program that not included in the module. By the way, it must be separated as the extra works should be printed in yellow page. In briefly, this is some info that I can share with all the bloggers outside there about the task given last week. Interesting right??ahakz….
Let’s go back to this week. There was no different in terms of the activity we did between lask week and this week. For this week, we just continued the module task and did it in her class. Puan Foziah did check our progress so far and she felt worried to some of us who still in early sections because there are many to go. Some of us also took this opportunity to ask questions regarding to some software and program that cannot be done. These are some problems that my friends faced when doing the module:-
1. The program is out of date
2. The software cannot be used or open or download
3. Some steps in the module is missing and readers cannot follow the program
As solution, Puan Foziah told us to find other software that can do the same task like what has been shown in the module. If the software still cannot run the task, she asked us to check our file that may not suitable to be run by the program because some files may be corrupted.
That’s all for this week guys. This was the last class before we going for holiday. So, see you again after Raya. Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin.

6th Week
I came late in this week because I had met other lecturer before I went to Mdm Foziah’s class. I wonder what input and task that she will give us. According to her, we will get the Module 1,our first assignment that need to be completed as fast as we can. I was really excited to go to her class after finished the consultation with the previous lecturer.
When I arrived at her class, I saw my two friends were sitting outside her class. They told me Puan Foziah not allowed those who were late to enter her class no matter what reason we give. So, I decided to join them because I knew my mistake is bigger than them. They were only being late for about 15 minutes but I was about one hour. Then, I asked them what the friends did inside her class. They said, they were doing the module 1 that Puan Foziah had given them. I felt so upset because I really want to hear about the task in details.
Then, somebody went out from the class and gave us the modul. I was so shocked because the module was so thick and heavy. He said we need to finished it within wo weeks. My eyes plopped up as I felt my heart beated faster. With hurry, I opened my notebook and started to do the module. After a few minutes, Puan Foziah came to us and aksed a few questions regarding to our late. She gave us some useful advise and not scolded us at all. What she did was really professional as our mistakes were quite heavy. I promise I would repeat the mistakes again in the future.

5th lesson
Resources Week 5 reflection
In this Fifth week, we entered the class a usual. Firstly, Puan Foziah showed us about the benefit of using Moeya Software. As what we have learned in the previous week, the software is mainly to download YouTube video in fast and easy medium. She tried to download Maher Zain video as for the example. The step seemed simple as once we open the video, the Moeya link will appear and we can download it directly through the software. Later, we just save it and can be played anytime we want.
The second part of the class was about the explanation of the Assignment 2: which is the Technological Teaching Aids Collection that carries 10 marks. Then, we had been assigned to work in pair for this assignment. We were not allowed to work with the same gender to prevent troublesome. In this assignment, we were asked to make a collection of technology teaching aids. This could include flash cards, edited pictures and e-books, gifs and animations, audio and video clips. These are the good task whereby we can apply all the knowledge and input that we have learned.
In the follow up stage, we need to complete the tables given about the topics that we were assigned. My partner and i got the three topics which are “Learning about”, “Story time” and “Fun time”. Thus, we were required to make three lesson plans for these three topics. In the lesson plan, there must be an explanation about the materials that our group had decided, the rationales of it and other purposes. I think at the end of this assignment, this will give me a clear view on what I can do with all those resources within appropriate time.
In conclusion, I hope that this assignment will motivate me to be hardworking person. For sure, it can provide me with a lot of experiences especially in term of the collaboration with my partner. That’s all from me for this week. Bye.

Week 4
Hye, in this week, Puan Foziah had taught us about some software that may useful related to technology. Overall, she had taught us on how to download a song, video and other resources which can be used as teaching materials in the classroom later.
In term of keyboard skills, Madam Foziah also has taught us about the “prt sc” button on the keyboard which is function as a copier of a webpage. Later, it can be pasted on the power point presentation or in the Microsoft word office to enable us to make as the modul for learning . Then, Madam gave us some trial to do what she had shown and it was a very enjoyful moment. Afterward, she asked us to complete a tutorial task given to streghten our skills. In this tutorial task, we are required to complete three power point presentations on how to search and download a song, lyric and also the video. The task must be done individually and she need us to handle it in cd by next week.
Before that, Puan foziah ahd taught us about some ways in how to download sources from internet using different medium such as 4shared, Hotfile, Youtube and so forth, every medium carried different function and some of them are easy to be used. So, Puan Foziah asked us to try all and make use the softwares to download whatever we want. Then, she did introduced new downloader called Moeya. The software is used to download video directly from YouTube in a fast and easy medium. We just need to open and drag the video into the Moeya symbol. Afterward, the video is automatically ready to be downloaded. However, dont forget to install it first. Before this, I had to try different kinds of software to download the videos from youtube, but now, I can easily use this kind of software. All of us should know that the youtube has a lot of video sources especially in education field which required a lot of informative and entertainment stuff.
Therefore, all the software really helped us in shaping us to become the future 21st century teacher. In conclusion, I enjoyed this week because I had the opportunity to try them and apply in real life. I can see some of us may did not see the advantage of doing this but i believe we will remember what Puan Foziah had taught us today. I said this because software is made to easy human not trouble them. People who keep complaining about software are the people who wish for trouble in their work. That’s all from me for this time. Bye.

Third week meeting
WEEK 3
Hye everyone, we meet again in this week in a very enjoyful and informative atmosphere. This is where the knowledge is transferred in a very conducive environment conducted by Puan Foziah, our beloved lecturer.
For this week, we got our reference book entitled preparing and Using Visual Aids for English Language Teaching. This book is very essential for us where it provide a lot of information related to technology, issues, philosophy and theory in education.
Then, we were divided into six of groups where we need to discuss a topic given by Puan Foziah. Our group was given a a topic entitled Indirect Learning. My group members were Faizal, Utaya, Chin, Yan and Bun. They were so great in completing the task and each one of us find different resources to present a great input.
So, this topic gave me realization that indirect learning is something that comes naturally where children perform by themselves without any push. So, teacher must be creative in constructing their lesson to give more opportunity among students to participate.
Overall, what I can share with you right now is indirect learning is very important in current education system. We do know that the situation and culture has changed and so as the education environment. Honestly, I do not prefer the traditional method because it was boring and dull. I said this because I had experienced it during my childhood. What my teachers did were they only talk and gave exercise all the time and I just stood still and listened to them until the class finish. This was a very boring and I felt I do not want go to class because I think home is better and happier than school. My point is teacher must make school as a fun place like home.
The best examples of activity to encourage Indirect learning is games. By doing games, they can play and learn at the same time. Thus, as they are playing an educational game, they will get something useful and apply the knowledge in real academic context. The different is only the medium of learning which is more informal and natural.
As conclusion, we as teacher must arrange our lesson properly to prevent a dull and boring learning environment. We also must ensure the content, input or game selected is appropriate, interactive, informative and useful to be used in our lesson. I guess that’s all for this week. Bye.
