On our second day of the ICT class, our instructor Dr. Mohaida gave us the whole picture of the assignment, the deadline for the submission, and informed us about the date of the midterm exam. Even though this course is somehow heavy; we are to submit our assignment on time because we have been already informed about the deadline of all the assignments from the very beginning of the semester which is our second day of the class. We have divided our Group work equally so that we can finish before our submission date.
We have to do one project paper which is individual work. The most difficult assignment from all. The Other 3 assignments are Group work which are E-book, Poster, and Blog. At the same time, our midterm Exam will be held on the 23rd of March. We learned lots of new knowledge from the second class. Dr. Mohaida discussed “Teachers’ Perceptions of E-learning in Malaysian Secondary Schools”. She also showed us samples of Posters for ELT and Sample -E-Book. Besides, she discussed the Blog Rubric. As a result, we got a clear idea of our assignments. Actually, Ict class is very interesting and effective for us. We learned from the class that teachers are facilitators and students must be independent. So, if we use interactive ICT platforms, there is a chance for immediate feedback, for example, be used to making drills and practice learning more engaging and effective. In fact, the use of student-centered activities allows teachers to spend more of their time diagnosing and correcting student problems, consulting with individual students, and teaching one - on - one and in small groups. So, learning is the development of new knowledge, skills, or attitudes as an individual interacts with information and the environment. Then we learned 4 C’s of 21st Century skills.
The 4 cs listed are Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking, and Creativity. All four of these items are essential inside the 21st Century classroom. These could be the 4Cs for any Century classroom as all of these skills are timeless and highly valued not only inside the classroom but in all professions. Dr. Mohaida demonstrates the use of the 4cs very interestingly. Communication: Conveying ideas. Using the digital tool of your choice. Feel free to use multiple types of media. (e.g., videos, presentations, drawings, and mind mapping) Collaboration: With a partner, discuss the topic/ question, then together create a digital representation of our thoughts, ideas, questions, and reflections. (e.g., Slides, Padlet, drawing or videos). With our team, discuss possible solutions to the problem and develop a solution. Critical Thinking: Using the image provided by our teacher, and inferring what happened in the picture. Retell what we think happened in our own words and demonstrate them using digital tools of our own choice. ( ex: timeline, diagram or digital story) Creativity: We can list as many uses for a paperclip that we can think of in ten minutes. Share with a partner and push our team to think of 20 more.
