Third Assignment, Producing e-Book

Our third assignment had been set up to be in group and the task was to produce an e-book for Primary ESL classroom.. After a discussion, our group had choose the topic 'Saving our Environment' Unit 3 from Standard 5 text Book..

E-book can be very useful for students as it is more interactive and appeal to be read by pupils.. Therefore, reading activity can be motivated for pupils to acquire the language.. For now, our group had already had a brief idea on what will our present in our e-book..

Well, the e-book is still in process.. We will see the final production later.. Last but not least, I believe, reading should be introduced to children in the early age so that they will make reading as their habit in their lives..

New lesson of Photo Editing

This week, I had learned more new things which is Photo Editing..

That's interesting.. That's really interesting..

A picture is more meaningful and captivating to be used in the ESL classroom.. Through picture, children learns more as they are more attracted to Concrete Object which can be seen or touch.. Since picture usually portrays the Real Life situation therefore, this resource also should be Authentic.. I believe if we as teacher use the correct materials to assist our teaching and learning, pupils would get the benefits and they can become competent language users..

Photo Editing is part of it.. Photo Manager, Adobe Photoshop can be used to edit picture.. As a beginner, I do find difficulties to learn this skill.. However, with guidance from the tutorial given by Pn Foziah and help from my friends I manage to get through this.. Skills need to be practiced to master it.. So, i will surely try my best to sharpen my skills in using IT.. As the challenges in teaching line nowadays are more demanding for us future teachers, we have to develop ourselves and take up this challenges to be more creative and wise in selecting materials to be used in classroom..Just to share with all of you:This is my photo which I had edited=)

More learning in Second week..

This week, we had received our second assignment which was to show ways on how to download materials from the internet.. As this assignment was a group work, we had to do the group selection first.. This assignment teach me more new things, for example..print screen..Though it might be familiar for others, but for me this new thing does upgrade my skill..For my group we had choose the Glorious Food as our topic..We will try to search the best materials and show it through our assignment..I believe this assignment is a worthwhile..all this materials can be used when we were sent to the school practical..Finally, I hope we would make it as glorious as it could be..Thanks to Pn Foziah and friends who help me a lot for this assignment, now and then..

A new kick start of a new sem..

Each day we will learn new things.. And each day we realized that how shallow our knowledge in so many things.. Challenges come in different ways and somehow we still manage to confront with all the challenges..

For me, this course give me an opportunity to work out my skill to develop materials for teaching ESL classroom.. This is truly important for us to learn because materials is influential tool which compliment our teaching especially in Primary School.. As we all know, children of 7 to 12 years are very keen towards concrete object.. They need visual material to accommodate their learning language.. And they comprehend better through the use authentic materials which are they familiar with..So, I believe this subject is very helpful and useful for all of us..

For our respective lecturer, thanks for giving us this opportunity and for all the support you had made for us.. We will surely learn and progress ourselves from now onwards..
