2nd week

Hello everyone, Welcome back to my blog. This week has been hectic because my classes are so packed especially on Tuesday. I have 4 classes from 8.30am - 6.30pm non-stop without a break. It’s so tiring but I must keep up my energy until 6.30pm. Now I know my lecturers for the subject I enroll in. I’m happy that all my lecturers are easy going and helpful. In my Technology and Math education class, there are only 9 students enroll in this subject. It’s easy to remember their names and faces. My lecturer Miss Farah told us about the assignment and the first assignment is to do a blog based on our weekly reflection. So, that’s the reason why I’m writing this blog. In my opinion, writing blog gives me a way to express myself to people through writing, even though I know my grammars and sentence structure is wrong. But I’m happy that I can deliver some information to people reading my blog.

    Now moving ahead on my weekly reflection. In today’s class, Miss Farah asks all of us to give examples of technology tools that could bemuse in Education. Some of us mention “Kahoot”, “Padlet”, “Brainrush” and “Quizlet” which is common to us. So, Miss Farah asks us to do research using our phone or laptop. Miss Farah encourages us to bring our laptop to class because it’s a technology course. To be honest, I was praying to not bring my laptop to classes for this semester because last semester every day I had to bring my laptop and it’s so heavy to carry behind my back, but I think I can’t escape that, I had to bring for two classes for this semester. But unfortunately, or “Thank God” my laptop had some hardware problem. I’m supposed to be sad 😢 which I am, I was feeling incomplete without my laptop, but also happy that I don’t need to bring it to college. My uncle took my laptop to his home to get it repaired, his expert in that. Hopefully, I will get it back soon.

             

        Moving on, I also learned to use “padlet” in class. Miss Farah gives us a question to answer in the “padlet” so everyone could see their classmate’s work. The question given is to discuss the level of involvement in teaching and learning strategy. The strategy I choose is a reflection. I explain the importance of reflection in class. Now, as a student, I think doing a reflection helps students to remember what they did in class and also gives them an opportunity to open up ideas through writing. Being a student, I’m experiencing it and I would like my students to also try it too. We also did mindmap about the characteristic of a 21st-century Mathematics teacher. And we came up with lots of characteristics which, I hope, I would come up as one.

That’s all for my 2^nd week of reflection. Till then…. BYE BYE J
