wats in a name, shakespeare once said, but merely words and letters. and my name is Ahmad Hafizuddin Zainal Abidin. tat is my given name. how i wish i could choose my own name today.
in relation to this course, i think my computer skills r quite limited cause all my life, ive never used the computer to assist me in language learning. y i say so? because for me, the purpose of computer in my life is totally for entertainment purposes only, except the fact tat i use the comp to do my assignments.
as it was stated above, my comp skills r limited to those applications which i frequently used; itunes, internet explorer, ym, and microsoft office apps.
online learning is new to me. frankly speaking, ive never had the chance to learn through the world wide web.
in my own opinion, the use of technology in malaysian classrooms act out as a two-hedged sword. technology can go wrong, and when it does, it will be messy to clean up afterwords. and to answer ur question, no, i did not incorporate the use of technology during my practicum months because i have ran out of plan Bs if anything goes wrong. i cant afford to loose precious time and energy during those months.
i think the use of technology in classrooms should be incorporated in all language classes. it not only makes the teacher's job easier, but it also saves time and energy in preparing and presenting the materials taught. the only problem is tat we have the technology needed but we dont have the necessary means to use them.
my own personal expectations for this course is so tat i can fully use the computer for learning and teaching purposes in the future.
