Smartboard

Yes...smartboard!! We are to create at least five activities for one topic each. Since, we are in in group of five, we will be having overall 25 activities...uuuuu..sounds a lot ya? but if one thinks and reflects again team work does help. This is so as if we divide our work and manage our time wisely, there would not be time constraint! Moreover, as i said earlier, if we divide our work, each of us just have to do five activities on a particular topic. But of course, we have to check each other's work and help around. Ater all, what is team work then?

Yes, as i was mentioned earlier, we have to create activity through smartboard. It depends on our creativity on how to explore it isn't? Thinking about it, we are actually learning discovery learning whereby we have to discover the knowledge by ourselves! Jean Piaget also emphasised on that in the constructivist theory. Anyway, let us just keep the theories aside and go on with the smartboard.

There are many things that one can do..for example, the magic pen, capture a picture through camera and so on. it would be fun if all the schools in Malaysia has the Smartboard. (rural school and urban school, both of them. ) However, it does not mean that one school only has one or few smartboard. I hope that each and every class has it. Life would be easier for the teachers and students. This is so because through Smartboard they can bring their comprehension level to a better phase as real and vivid pictures will be shown. To add on, some topics are better to be taught using the smartboard.

Now, don't think that it has no drawbacks..It has! For instance, not all topics can be taught using the smartboard. I believe that we have to use the LCD, videos, flashcards and others too.

Hmm...well do not forget that in the excitement in exploring the smartbaord, the date due is also approaching. Therefore, I have to do it as fast as i can. But, whatever it is, there is always some distraction and some other work that needs to be done. Thus, i have to hang on for a while. But, now i would not be distracted by all these. What needs to be done, must be done! I will ensure that i finish my work and finish it early...
