On 24th of September 2008, it was our 11th week lecture. This week, we have to submit our last assignment which is SMARTboard assignment. Many weeks has been given to us in order to design activities using SMARTboard. We have to compile all the five files in one CD. After submitted the assignment, I felt so relief because all the efforts has came to the end. Now, it is time for lecturer and the tutors to evaluate our works. Honestly, I am satisfied with my works. All of us should felt like that as the time given to finish this assignment is a quite long duration of time. Besides, this was my first time designing activities for primary students using SMARTboard. I took this opportunity to learn many things.
I realized that it is not easy to design activities for primary students using SMARTBOARD. We have to consider many things such as the font size, the font, and the suitability of content as well as the maximization of using SMARTboard. If the size and the font cannot be seen from students at the back of the class, it is no use for us to design good activities to our students. Besides, the important thing is we have to consider whether we can exploit the use of SMARTboard or not while designing those activities. If the activities that we design can be done without using SMARTboard, so we cannot exploit the integration of technology in our classroom. As technology is important and help teacher to support teacher’s lesson, it needs to be exploited so that the lesson can be conveyed successfully. Now, I realized how important to design good activities for students. Thanks to Prof Maznah and the tutors because they have reminded us with the criteria that need to be considered while designing the activities. Without their concern and help, we cannot design good activities.
Before Prof Maznah started her class, she has played a simple game with us. She has thrown a rubber ball to us. Then, she started her lesson with Fish approach which has been used in corporate world.

salam...i am agree with u su. it is absoloutely right that there are a lot points to be taken into our account before preparing and designing teaching materials for our future permanent customer, the little cute kids...i think, it is good that we practice thinking and considering all factors and being overlearnt with all these so that when we become the real teacher it will always in our mind that we will aware of it...in other words we can be automatic considering all those important point while preparing any materials....:)
salam lieza sometimes we seem 'syok sendiri' when we want to plan a good activity for the kids. if we just prepare an extraordinary and extravaganza activity without considering any factors like their level,their interest and the content suitability, it is no use right? thnx 4 sharing ur thoughts =)
