Huey Zher introduced a few books books that would be useful to guide us in research and teaching:-
1. The Technology Toolkit for Teaching
2. Empowering Online Learning : 100+ Activities for Reading, Reflecting, Displaying, & Doing
The books looked exciting! Must find the time to read!
Also the Horizon Project Navigator to keep ourselves updated.
Oh yeah, from Yee Hui I learned about Prezi, from KJ Google Extentions. Made use of the extentions already! Thank you, Yee Hui and KJ!
Today's presentation was about the Flipped Classroom. The idea is very stimulating. I was all ready to think of which of my topics I want to use with this method. Then it hit me- the parents! We need to re-train them to allow their children to adopt the usage of technology in the classroom and outside of classroom. The computer has always been associated with entertainment and play. The MOE really needs to change the parents and most of the teachers' mindset with regard to the possibilities of technology in all aspects of learning. There are so many resources on the world wide web to be utilized, if only Malaysians are more open to new technologies and the World Wide Web!
However, on a brighter note, I might assemble a power point with all the video cuts I want my students to watch then get them to watch the power point at home to save time.
This post will be a short one because I still have to catch up with my reading and try to get some sense out of the articles to link up for my literature review assignment =(
Will be back next week ;D
Agree with you, Monica, that two book is really helpful, I got inspiration design my activity for research paper. Is a must keep collection.
