Thursday (Week 3)
This week, during lecture, we have an event that relate to innovation and technology in teaching and learning. We, together with Sport Recreation and Special Education students were involve in this event. The event was called Pikto Tour. This is a tour that organised and conducted in the whole Malaysia. For this tour, it is special for people in Bangi, Selangor. The talk or the lecture was conducted by Dr. Fariza Binti Khalid herself. In this event, we were told what Piktochart is. That is the original purpose why this event was conducted in UKM. Basically, Piktochart is an online application with many functions. For example, we can use Piktochart to design posters, making interesting slideshow for presentation and so much more. I learned new thing that day. I never know what Piktochart before. After I came in UKM during first sem in my first year, I did learned how to use some online applications that brought almost the same function, but never Piktochart. So, I feel happy because through this Pikto Tour, my knowledge and exposition to technology for teaching was improved. Dr. Fariza gave a very good talk. Everything was clear actually, but the problem is that the wifi in Dewan Budiman is slow, so some activity we cannot do. I also lost when Dr. Fariza told how to use Piktochart step by step, only because of the wifi. We even get free VIP version for 1 month. But, sadly I cannot apply that, once again because of the wifi and I'm lost. Overaly, it was a good event and I learn a lot. For me, personally, I will use this application as much as possible. Many benefits compare to other application. I also will make sure to expose thi application to my student in the future after I become a teacher.

Thursday (Week 2)
Today is the first meet for Inovasi dan Teknologi dalam Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran. At first, Dr Fariza was there and we were discussing about the course. Dr Fariza also shared about the course's information for example due date for assignment, how the marks are divided. Then after that, we were discussing deeper about technology. I was very lucky because I was chosen to answer a question. The question was, "What do you understand about technology?. I answered technology as machine. We also being asked asked what is the importance of technology. I learned that technology helps student to be proactive and creative. Technology enable students to be engage in class, because sometimes students in the class are shy to voice out their opinions. With technology in education like openlearning, it helps students to be more engage in learning. Other than that, it helps students to interact with each other more and even meet new friends via openlearning. At the end of the class, she was promoting her activity which will replaced next week's lecture. Her talk is about PIKTOCHART. She taught us a lot of things regarding this matter, I keep on moving. Unfortunately, I cannot focus 100%, and do not even know basic thing about PIKTOCHART. But I will make sure in the future I will change my attitude, and focus more on what people are presenting in front of our class. So, that is how I will fully understand what presenter are trying to deliver from his or her talk. |
