When I started to prepare the topic that I have to present last two week, I was so struggled
because I found that there wasn’t much reference for me to use. Until last
Wednesday when Madam Ng listed out some sample of ID model, than I realized
that Merrill, IDDIE and some famous ID model are using by instructors to instruct
students on e-learning. Thanks Madam Ng for giving the guideline for me. I
changed my power point slides 3 times in order to give the correct information
in my presentation. I also was struggling with the examples that I gave because
I really don’t have the best examples to show in class. After finished preparing
the power point, I just took some familiar sample that I used to use.
When Madam Ng
asked me about how to put IDDIE in our web based learning, I noticed that actually I forgot
to explain about the relationship within IDDIE and the sample I gave. Luckily
Yee Hui reminded me that we had the power point to show how IDDIE was applied
in our last assignment. Thanks Yee Hui.
There are a
few common ID frameworks us can choose to fit in our web-based learning. The choice of ID model depends on our
objective of the learning also. And it is very important before we start to
design a web based-learning.
After my
presentation, Madam Ng gave us some time to fit some ‘dots’ in a mind map (Theories
of Learning, TPACK, PLE, Model of Learning Engagement, Visual
Aspects of Designing Web-Based Learning, ADDIE. ). This activity can help us to know better all
the theories we learned, and from the mind map, we can really understand how
these aspects worked. The purpose of the activity is to see how we connect the
flow of these aspects in creating an effective Internet teaching and learning
experience for both instructor and the students.
This activity reminded
us how to put all the aspects into our activity 3 also. Now, in my mind, that
was more clearer how to start a web based-learning intead of just design a
simple but useless e-learning platform for students. Thanks again to Madam Ng.
So I think we have to plan again and design again our activity for assignment
three in order to put all the aspects inside the e-learning.
Teacher can only be an effective teacher if
and only if the concept of lifelong learning is put into practice in the
teaching profession. As a teacher, we do
not expect to use the same practice years after years. The world is changing
and so is our students, therefore a teacher who teach only do not make a good
teacher, it is what the teacher learn either from everyday teaching experience
or by doing some changes, that contribute to a good teacher.
Nowadays
teacher can not just keep quiet without changing their mindset, waiting for
something to happen. Teachers have to move in frond, define the suitable way
for their teaching and learning. They have to work together with students, and
make changes from time to time.
My question
is, how many teachers are willing to change their teaching methods?
As I know, not many teacher willing to change their teaching methods, because they don't see the needs. I should say we are fortunate, through further study we able to open our vision, we realize that "change our teaching instruction will change students' future", but for those don't have these chances, when will they wake up?
ReplyDeleteYee hui,
ReplyDeleteThis teacher has tried to change her teaching methods but found that some parents are not appreciative of the effort and even complained about it to the school authorities. Sad right? All of you better take precautions too to avoid any unpleasantness.
The parents are not undersand what really we are doing, they thought we let their children playing game in front of computer, wasting their time. So we have to explain to the students so that they could tell their parents what is going on. But all this thing are challanging for teachers.
