This is the first week after the break. The expectation for the second half semester seems more demanding as all the skills learned should be applied here and then. Most importantly, this time we are going to focus more on the producing of teaching aids, specifically relate to the curriculum. This is quite tough for me as careful plan and preparation should be done. Plus, creativity also comes in as to catch pupils’ interest, my future major regular customers. Besides, this week, our lecturer still was sharing some more skills that can be integrated into the teaching materials. For instance, easy gif animator and gickr.com. This website actually useful for teachers, not only the public people as teachers can manipulate it to make teaching aids. For example, teachers can use it to teach vocabulary.
This week also we were given one more task and assignment 2. The task I do in pair. We have to create an e-book for primary pupils. My pair and I decided to choose topic ‘Clothes’. Now, we are struggling to finish it. At this moment, it already 80% finish and we will do final touch after this. Actually, we burnt the midnight oil to finish it. Can’t wait to see the final product. Throughout the process, we try to use ‘gikcr’ but then, we failed to save it. Still do not know how to fail it. Our friends also face the same problems. Thus, we just use adobe photoshop and powerpoint presentation.
From my opinion, the skill of creating e-book should be acquired by all teachers especially primary school teachers. We know that children like to hear story and to tell story. Thus, e-book can be a good stimulus for them as teachers can create own interactive yet suit with the learners. As what we have learnt, the teachers know their pupils better. There fore, it is good if teacher can create own e-book that relates and suitable with the learners learning styles and cognitive, physical and social growth.
After this, we will start working on our Assignment 2 which is teaching resources. It seems difficult for me. But, I will try my best and apply what have been learned before.
