Internet Skills...

This is the third week i attend PBEY3102 class and this week is the start for our compilation of portfolio. It started with internet skills. Before this, i did not know that there are loads of internet skills. Some of them, i already know, but i do not know the right terms used.

Hence, this week's class has helped me a lot in terms of learning the internet skills which are useful for us as teachers-to-be. It began with searching the MP3 song, and the song was Michael Jackson's last song, 'Give Thanks to Allah'... I was like, Oh My God, is it real? Then we learned how to download the song for free and after listening to the, i told myself 'Yes, it's him. It's his voice' and the lyrics of the song was superb. It touched me deeply and made me pondered on myself and my doings.

Then, i got to know there more others for me to venture in this course as well as for the betterment of myself. Then we moved to searching pictures. Eventhough, i know how to search it, but the formality of learning it made me search in a right a faster way as what i preferred to do before. Again, it has become a useful and beneficial knowledge for me as it made my process of preparing resources for the teaching and learning easier.

Therefore, i am looking forward to learn other skills and try to apply them for my development in this line of ICT as well as for future desired-career, teacher.

The overview of the course...

Haha....you must be wondering about the topic...
let me keep your wonders hanging around...
first of all in this second class of PBEY3102, we were divided into groups...
my group? hahaha, i am the rose among the thorns...ahaha because i am the only guy in the group. nevermind, i used to work with girl which i like so much because they are committed to works. Our group was assigned to elaborate and explain about children's most important way of learning which is 'talking'.

I am not saying this because i am talkative but as i read the article given, i apt to realize that we talk more than we write and of course we talk more than we read. so i think talking is the medium whereby children can apply and practice their knowledge of their target language efficiently. However, speaking activities are not being so emphasized in primary schools especially for primary level 2 pupils. This is for the reason of they are being exam oriented whereby writing and reading are more emphasized eventhough, talking is the most easiest and usable way to practice language.

Going back to the title, let me break your wonders. We, have to divide ourselves into groups and i am one of the leaders. The groups are based on different components; video editing, audio editing, photo editing, software for ELT and internet skills. Looking on seniors' portfolio, i was shocked because some of them were so thick but the marks given are parallel to the thickness (i mean, good marks of course). Thank God, the portfolio is the compilation of our learning and works from weeks to weeks. Hence, that's why i said it is the overview of the course which i am quite interested towards this course as it will equip me with technology which can help me in this line of education in this 21st century years.

It's the beginning...

Yesterday, finally i started my real college life at varsity...hooorayy...
and you know what...it is UNIVERSITI MALAYA ok...

i was so damn excited and happy because at last, i emphasize at last i got the chance to further my studies at this such prestige university in Malaysia as well as in this Asia region.

Actually, the start was a bit 'shaky' for the reason of before i reached UM, i was trapped in a very chaotic, hectic and 'predictable' traffic jam. I was thinking to ride motorcycle at first, but i did not why i chose to drive, then,hahaha served me right!!! yes the welcoming trafic jam of course with 'open hands' willingy encountered me. then i chose one alternative way, i can't remember which way because frankly i confess i am not so brilliant in terms of my spatial intelligence.=P then i just tried one of the ways and i entered a very bumpy road towards one area of schools (primary and secondary), i bet you can imagine how busy that road at the moment. i think i should consult Robert Frost and feel his poem 'The Road Not Taken', if am not mistaken, hehehe...so nevermind, at last I found my way to the beloved UM and tahnk you Allah, i reached right on time. fuh!!! sighed to my heart...

Just ignore about those hanky panky things which really 'stabbed' my anxiety becuase i want to tell you that i was happy, happy and happy when i saw my freinds' cheery faces and we entered the first class together. after that.......
the very first class we already got an ASSIGNMENT and we have to submit it TODAY...hmmm what to say, it is varsity life, so just deal with it...

Then, one more bad thing was that i LOST MY CAR KEY....i was very scared because i did not bring the spare key...Again thank you Allah, i manage to collect it back at the library office..fuh!!! sighed to my heart...

But after all,today i came here (UM) again with excitement and so far, the classes that i attended including the class at this moment (PBEY3102) are 'cool'...
one thing for sure i'll never be bored to see the UM's bagde becuase this is my now and it is my passion...
