1st Class Assignment

Hi, thank you for visiting my blog. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Hamizah binti Hasbullah. You can CALL me Hamizah. I am from Temerloh, Pahang. I have 4 siblings and I am the eldest. I love reading novels especially indie and romance novels. A part from that I like shopping and watching movies. I have my personal blog but I seldom update the blog. It’s because….well…I don’t know. Maybe I’m too lazy and I waste my free time on facebook and twitter even more *sigh*. Bad girl.

I’m kind of proud of my computer skill. I know how to create blogs, facebook account, download files and use Microsoft office. However, I have difficulties to create websites or use other software like SPSS.

So far, I got plenty of knowledge about computer hardware like I know how to use printer, USB drive, mouse, speaker, LCD and so on. In terms of computer software, there are some I’m not familiar with and of course I am in trouble when I have to use them especially the SPSS.

Yes, I have experienced learning via the computer like the using ilearn for online discussion and watching videos on Youtube to find interesting learning materials.

Yes, I have tried incorporating technology in my teaching during practicum. Of course, I’ve used Powerpoint presentation, music and videos. Besides, I also used a website to teach my students on poems (acrostic poems). My students found it very interesting and they remembered that lesson the most. J

I think it is very interesting and fun to use technology/media in teaching and learning. It can definitely attract students’ attention to learn especially in learning English as English is fun!

My expectation for this course is I can expand my knowledge on how to create website or operate certain computer software. I really hope that I can master in technology as I am now living in modern age where internet and computer cannot be separated with this life.

My topic for AE is "Teaching and Learning of KBSM English Literature Component: A Case Study". I choose this topic because I want to know the students’ perception on the latest syllabus of literature component. I have been meeting my supervisor regularly and I am proud of my progress. I am now in the process of analyzing the data using SPSS. I admit that I have difficulties to use SPSS. I don’t know what to use and where to click.
