Introduction (5 Modules)

In this lesson, I had gained a lot of resourceful information that was very useful in my future teaching profession. First and foremost, we were introduced on 5 modules such as internet and computing skills, photo editing skills, audio editing skills, video editing skills and software for ELT. Pn. Foziah had taught all of us the proper way of typing. It surprised some of us especially me who had a shallow knowledge about computer and technology devices. Besides, by learning the correct way of typing, I could be a role model and taught what I had learnt to my pupils in future. This would help them in exploring the cyber world and doing their assessments. Pn. Foziah was very helpful as she was willing to share a software in improving typing skills. This reminded me that one of the basic elements in mastering this course was typing skills as we had to leave verbal thoughts, do assignments and portfolios proficiently by using technology.

Apart from that, this lesson had made everyone of us to get closer to one another. For instance, we copied and pasted one another’s URL so that we were able to communicate online when we had any problems. We could also download the latest notes from the blog too. This meant that we could get in touch in anytime and anywhere. This concurred with ( Parikh & Verma, 2002 ) that, ‘Technology such as internet is one of the most preferred technology in helping it utilize and support learning by distributing learning notes and assignments on websites’. It was also fun and excited to create our own blogs according to our preferences. In addition, Pn. Foziah also taught us how to have more spaces for our document placement which was the 'Skydrive'. I was so suprised that this 'Skydrive' was actually embedded in the hotmail account. This had widen my scope and well used the space provided.

Lastly, Pn. Foziah gave us a set of questionnaires to fill in. Through these questions, I also realized that I needed a lot of improvements in technology in order to be the same path as efficient and fast paced users. Lastly, it was undeniable that learning in 21^st century involved lots of technology skills.
