3rd Lecture:TeChNoLoGy & SmArT ScHoOL (Sekolah Bestari)


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Salam...This is our 3rd lecture with Ms. Chin..Today she distributed to all of us a questionnaire regarding this subject and she asked us to fill up all the questionnaire and submit it at the end of the class.


What I Learned?

Our Lecture begin with a new topic: Technology..we know that throughout this 20th century ICT become a necessary thing in our life.We should know how to use this 'miracle' technology or otherwise we will left behind. Nowadays, even children in age 4 years old know how to explore it....

By using a smart board, Ms.Chin start her lecture with the new topic; Technology. In his topic we learned the definition of the Technology. We can divide the definition into five; there are technology as object, technology as knowledge, technology as activities, technology as a process and technology as a sociotechnical system.


Besides, we also learned how technology really important in our life and the complementation of technology in career and it effect to the employers and employees.Secondly, Ms.Chin taught us about the learning model, as a student and becoming teacher we should know this model in order to achieve goals and balance in our life.In order to see the successful of all these learning models, we should draw the model strategies (technique and methodology which we can use to teach students in ICT) which suitable with their needs and socio-economic background. This is because the way people live and even think, depends upon their background conditions, therefore it will easy to students to learn and understand the topic.


In addition, there are four families of model; behavioral, information processing, personal, and social model. Both of model strategies and families of model must be evaluated by a teacher either in formative (such as quiz, question and answer session in the class, etc) or in summative (such as mid term, final exam,PMR, SPM, STPM), after that we can recognize and know the implementation and the impact of our model and strategies.


After that we learned about the smart school (sekolah bestari). We can link to the website easily by clicking to the 'web links' in Yahoo Group and then all the websites which registered under 'web link' will appear and one of them is www.msc.com.my/smartschool , then click to this hyperlink and we can search all about smart school in term of its definition‚ characteristics‚ objectives‚implementation‚ policies and concepts.


Before our class finished, we search little bit about school net at http://www.myschoolnet.ppk.kpm.my/ . In this website we can find a lot of information about the school net in term of; teachers, school administration and the students. Ms. Chin also teaches us how to add link into our Yahoo Group. The steps are:
