Week 5: Developing Teaching Aids

Finally we got into some serious business, which was developing teaching aids. Today, Mdm Foziah asked every one of us to find a partner of the opposite sex. Then she distributed the topic to every pair. My partner was How Hui Sun, and our topic was year 3 My Body, Math is Fun and Underwater World. The topics sound easy right? Then Mdm Foziah explained to us the instructions of the tutorial task. She wanted us to find teaching aids for every stage in a lesson plan: Pre, While and Post. We have to find teaching aids that show the integration of technology.

Head and shoulder knee and toes, knee and toes, knee and toes...

Without wasting much time, my partner and I began our work. We tried to search online for teaching aids, and we have found quite a lot. Internet is really a wonderful thing, isnt it? Then my partner and I discuss on how to organize the teaching aids that we have found. I realized that technology can really bring a lot of benefits to teacher. For example when teachers want to teach parts of body, they can projects a big colourful and attractive picture cards to help their teaching. Not only that, teachers can also give online educational games to the pupils to play with. This will not only attract the pupils interest but also allow their to learn something as well. Therefore, teachers should really make full use of the internet!

You can find almost everything on the internet!

That was it for this week. Before I end, I would stress on the importance of integrating technology in teaching. This is because technology is really a wonderful tools that can make learning process much more interesting and meaningful than they used to be. Ok, buh bye!
