Introduction of EDU455

-

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone👋

Today, I will tell you about one of the courses that I take in my semester 2, which is Instructional Technology, or here we call it as EDU455.


Basically, this course introduces me to the various computer applications software such   as   word   processing, desktop   publishing, web   pages   development, spreadsheet use, telecommunications and their uses in all areas of education.  I will finish the course with a complete understanding of computers, how to use computer applications, and how to access information on the World Wide Web as an integrated teaching and learning tool.

Other than that, I will also be exposed to teaching and learning systems or tools, such as web-based teaching and learning tools and educational portals. This will assist me in understanding other alternatives of teaching and learning techniques that can be used in classrooms.  I’m also are given hands-on experience   with   each   technique   or   application   being   explained   and demonstrated via workshops in a computer laboratory.

At the end of this course, I should be able to explain the basic elements and components of a computer system, describe the basic characteristics of application programs, apply application programs in the curriculum and for administrative purposes, describe the basic elements of telecommunication and system tools and their uses and benefits in education, as well as to discuss issues and future trends of computers in education💋💋

There are a few assignments that should be completed through this semester, which are:
  • Portfolio of classroom technology tools
This course aims to expose students to the various ways of using technology in class to optimize learning. As such, students will be asked to do a review of a tool (from week 2 to week 12) which can be used as an instructional tool. These reviews should be compiled into a portfolio which will be submitted at the end of week 1

  • In class assignment
Students will produce a gradebook using Excel as an in class task, which is able demonstrate their ability to use various functions and formulas in the program to produce a gradebook, and able to format the gradebook so that it produces good presentations of data.  The gradebook should also develop transfers data correctly.

  • Group Project
In your team, you are expected to produce self-instructional courseware which focuses on any topic (subtopic) from KBSR or KBSM scheme of work, preferably from your area of specialization. The product should follow the basic visual principles and pitch at the level which is appropriate with students’ level of understanding.  The product should also integrate with multimedia elements (graphics, audio, video and/or simulation)
  
  • Test
The test will comprise of several subjective questions, where students will demonstrate their analytical skills in deciding ICT tools to be integrated in the given cases.

Regarding the portfolio of classroom technology tools, glad to inform you, I will be introducing it on my blog site. Stay tuned💓

Salam Alayk, Kali ini nak cerita tentang kebaikan air barli. Baru -baru ini bila kami sekeluarga pulang ke kampung, kami dapat tahu bahawa doktor telah mengsahakan nenek Ninie menghidap penyakit buah pinggang tahap 3. Jadi, Ninie pun pergilah ke kedai untuk beli beras barli. Seperti yang ramai sedia maklum, air barli amat bagus untuk buah pinggang. Kalau kat rumah, kitorang memang selalu minum air barli sebab family Ninie gemar minum air barli suam *kecuali Ninie* :D Selalunya beli beras barli brand ayam. Alaaaa, yang macam sardin cap ayam tuu. Tin lebih kurang sama macam tu. Bagi kita yang masih sihat ni kan, apa salahnya kalau minum air barli sekali sekala. Kata orang, mencegah lebih baik dari merawat..’ J Khasiat barli :   Molibdenum           Mangan       Serat pemakanan ·         Selenium ·         Vitamin B1, B3 ·         Fosforus magnesium ·         Niasin ·         Mineral (tembaga) ·         Zink
