Ninth week : This time around, TEAMWORK works !!!

PROF. MADYA DR. Rohaida

It is the presentation for our third assignment... And the assignment goes...

Assignment 3(15%):

RETRIEVAL AND MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION (GROUP WORK)

Present to the class on management of information through various tools such as word processors, graphic presentations and databases.

Due Date:        September 2010

But, Prof has made some changes to the assignment. Actually, we have to choose an online tool whether it is wikis or blog and design an educational website to be used for teaching and learning.

My Group and Wikis.

We choose wikis and as we are familiar in using GOOGLE SITES, we've decided to make use of it in our teaching. GOOGLE SITES is really good and flexible to be designed. We learned a lot in terms of integration of other elements and how to design it to meet with the needs of target audience which is primary school students. 

My group (from left): Marhani, Nizam, Me (Rafidah), Nazrul, Hafizuddin (Din)

This is our GOOGLE SITES : https://sites.google.com/site/exploringlivingthings/

Use of  Glogster to make a simple chart.

The first group Blog .

They focus on 'Endangered Species'. They have interesting vodcast created by themselves. This gives and idea for us to integrate this element if we are using the tools in our future profession. 

The first group (from left): Chris, Maha, Ija, Faiz and Woo.

Listening attentively

The third group (chatting).

The third group discussed about chatting and how chatting can be done as an after class session activity and a tool to gain feedback from students for teachers to improvise her instructions personally. But, then Prof commented with a really rationale mind saying that chatting might be informal and students might be using different names and this tool could be confusing bot parties. Yes, there are pros and cons for every tool used and as teachers we are to minimise the cons when choosing and using a website for an educational purpose. 

Third Group from left : Fatin, Dom, Syafiq, Nazwan (sitting) and Mirul.

Video chatting is one means of chatting tool.

The fourth Group (Facebook) 

This group is using Facebook and one thing that I like about their presentation is they have demonstrated how to design a quiz application using FACEBOOK, which I did not know. Perhaps, I can design my own quiz later in FB as a teaching and learning activity. 

Halimah is explaining about The Quiz : THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Done with all the groups' presentation. We learn a lot in designing and using web 2.0 tool while completing the assignments. THANK YOU, Prof...
