me, a novice blogger...
hi all...my name is Aminah Mat Shah, aged 27 this year and married..a nice lady from the waterfront city, Terengganu...currently begin my last semester in Uitm and trying to make myself comfortable with pen, paper and keyboard after a long semester break.. done with ice breaking.
**********------------------------------------------------------------------**************
i recognize myself as computer savvy as i can solve problems that arise whenever i use new software and also existing software in computer. i'm good in using the very basic of Microsoft office and all the additional stuff to add and adjust my projects in word, excel and PowerPoint. i can integrate the existing and new software in one to produce a good output. for example i added excel in my PowerPoint to make a linkable page. other than that, i used to combine Hot Potatoes in a website design software to create a unique effects to the portal. it also allows me to put in grammar exercises and etc. other than designing websites, i also have knowledge in recording videos on YouTube that allows me to save videos that cannot be downloaded on the net.
i have never had experience in online teaching and learning, but i have seen one courseware made by KPM for form 2...it was quite easy to use and attractive for the layout, links and sounds included. i did not try to include technology especially computer based teaching when i was in the practicum session. it was mainly because there was no access to the internet at the school, and so the teaching and learning went through like a normal traditional teaching lessons.
nonetheless, i think that using technology in teaching and learning can be applied in ESL classrooms. provided that it should be of suitable topics to be taught that really needs the students to use such technology. or else, the results might turn the other way around for instances, they might not focus on the learning and might surf the net for wrong purposes. however, it is good for the purpose of looking for information that they cannot find in the textbooks or other authentic materials outside.
i would expect to be able to create a courseware that might help me to cope with the new generation nowadays...as they are really computer based, i think this approach would be best to attract their attention in learning especially English subject. besides, we can lead them to use the net for good reasons as well as guide them to explore educational-based sites.

now, get back to the reality...hmmmm..... AE a traumatic word for me..(is there such word??..hehe)..ok~sigh~..i already have a title that is the effectiveness of using graphic novel in teaching literature for ESL students. the supervisor is Mdm Nadzeera..and i'm quite afraid to talk to her..it's because of her ways of talking (not to say that she is bad) which looks firm, neat, perfectionist and all...the rigidness between us makes me even afraid to give opinion towards my points and all. as i already have my draft and a little bit of my literature review, i hope i will mange to finish it on time. i'm taking steps by steps that i set goals for every month that i will complete at least a chapter per month. hope that'll work..
