reflection on ICT

Information, communication and technology (ICT) in science is one of my subjects for this semester. I have learnt many new things during this class such as how to use the data logger, the interactive white board (IWB), creating a blog and simulation and modeling in education. This is the first blog I ever had in my life and I hope that it is not too late for me to involve in blogging. Before this, I always think that I will never have my own blog because I think it is just waste my time and I also do not have a well knowledge about the blogging. 

However, my perception had changed since the first day I enter in this ICT class. I must involve and update myself with the technologies because I need to use technologies for the future. As a future Science teacher, I must remember that I cannot success in teaching science without the technology. Technology will make the science easier because I can use the technology to teach my students. In Science subject, some of the topic is difficult for students to visualize the real situation of the fact. I can use modeling and simulation to improve the students understanding.

interactive white board (IWB)

The first time I see the instructor use and teach about the IWB, I was so excited because for me it is very interesting and interactive tool. It just looks like as usual white board that we always use, but the best part of this tool are it have a lot of interactive items or toolkit and can be touch by our fingertip. Just like the iPad or iPhone that have been the current youth craze. It is quite difficult and it made me stress when I use this IWB for the first time. It is not as easy as I thought. To use this IWB, we need to install SMART notebook software to our laptop. The instructor had shown to us the uses of this IWB. After we install the software, we had been given a time to explore about the IWB and thanks to the Allah because we manage to use it and it is not really difficult actually. For me, it is a very good tool to attract student’s attention during the teaching and learning process. The students can do a lot of activities that provide by this tool which can provide them a better understanding about any topic. The teacher can use this IWB as one of the alternative way to make the teaching and learning process more interesting. Unfortunately, only a few schools have this IWB because it is not affordable for our country to provide to all schools in Malaysia. I am just one of the lucky people that have opportunity to learn and explore this sophisticated gadget and I hope that other students also should have this opportunity.
