Thirteen week lecture - The computer laboratory

MySpace

          I was late entering the classroom. So, I have missed the group presentation. The topic for the presentation was

As a teacher, how do you promote the usage of the school computer lab. Choose 2 or more than 2 activities which are suitable in teaching and learning in the classroom/computer lab. The presentation is based on group work.”

          Students nowadays are lucky because the government has built many school computer lab for each school. When I was in primary school, I even do not know what e-mail is. Believe it or not, I tried to find the word in the dictionary but it was not there. So, as the government has spent a lot of $$$, the school should use it wisely. When questioned has been asked to the school, they said teachers are not capable enough to use it in their teaching and learning process. However, the government has taken action in order to solve this problem. They have sent teachers for the in-service course regarding on developing their technology skill. Hence, teachers can apply what they have learnt while they attend to the course. For me, I am very lucky because in this sem, I have technology in primary school subject. I have learnt many things regarding on how to integrate technology in my lesson.

          Beseides, it is a waste if teacher not use the computer lab. This is because the computer lab is complete with the equipments. So, teacher should take this opportunity because it can give students new experience in learning. Yet, it may vary the lesson as well as it can make the lesson better.

          As for example, teacher can use internet to teach English. The computer lab has this kind of help as teacher can surf the net in order to find good and suitable online activities. Many online activities can be found in the net. It provides many advantages to teacher and students.

salam.... majid.
just want to share something.
during my sop experience, i as so sad to see that the computer lab in the school is not been used frequently. especially in teaching. i think it is such a waste to neglect the integration of technology in the lesson. so i hope that we as a teacher wannabe will make a full use of technology in our teaching career.

salam fyllo
do you think why this is happened?
maybe because the teachers dont have experience or knowledge to use the comp lab.teachers in my sop school have used it but they just bring the students to in front of the comp lab.only 1 comp has been used(main pc)where teacher controls the lesson.at first,i think it is good because teacher can control them easily.but after i think again,what is the purpose the gov gves many pcs but they not using it.yes as u said.it is just a waste.i hope i can apply the knowledge that we get in our career
