IN-CLASS TASK 1

Assalamualikum fellow mates :)

I need not to introduce much about myself but since it is task, so here it is.

1. An introvert named Siti Nor Fatin Izzati Binti Hasnan, a newbie to blogger.com whose blogging skill is dilettantish and whose time is consumed with reading. (sometimes 9-gagging)

2. I would rate my computer skills as novice because I tend to foreget certain basic rules in utilising the skills, especially after a semester break, I would forget things like how to printscreen, but as I started to bury my nose into finishing assignments, I will regain the skills. I must say I am quite forgetful but I am a quick learner as well.

3. I cannot differentiate between software and hardware (pardon me Sir!). I know how to utilise some of the microsoft office programmes. Apart from that, I used to design a website layout when I was in Asasi using a similar programme to flash, but I cannot recall the name and sometimes I do blog in wordpress, maybe not anymore after having this blog. I must say that I am more into creative zone, but my technical skills are limited.

4. I have experienced learning maths via computer when I was in school. I was not sure whether it was online or not, but each of my classamate was assigned to a computer and had to answer maths questions. I think my maths teacher was doing a research on that particular subject and we were the lab mice. I have also experienced learning grammar online during Asasi.

5. I tried to incorporate technology in my lesson during my practicum but it was in vain as the projector stopped working the half way of the lesson and the class provided for this purpose was a bit small for quite number of students and as a trainee teacher, I was not really good in managing the students when they got too excited over the media I have shown.

6. In my opinion, incorprating technology in language teaching is requisite as this is what authentic to students nowadays. They are 'in relationship' status with gadgets and 'it's complicated' status with pens and papers.

7. My expectation from this course would be to be a computer savvy and be more creative in incorporating the technology in my lessons.

8. The topic chosen for my AE is Teachers' Vocabulary Learning Motivation as I wam interested in learning the level of teachers's motivation in learning because as a future teacher, we must learn everyday to update our knowledge so I am excited to discover the result of my research. My supervisor is Mdm Geethanjali.
