Hi, my dear friends, I like to say sorry for the weak presentation on Webnode, but I really want to bring something better to you all. I will try to get know more and share with all of you in future.
After the discussion of “ Phases of Engagement Model” by Conrad and Donaldson, I realize that is a need for a teacher prepare and start to transform himself in pedagogy. Teacher can’t deny that is a fast development in IT and our new generation were highly respond to it, some of the students have good skill in using IT than a teacher. How to engage the students take a important part in the instructional by using IT? How the student to start a transitions learning habit through guidance and support by teacher?
We were know student are interest in FB, some of them like it so much indeed to effect their study, and the parent are prohibit them to do online. That is a of the reason and excuse given by student when I ask them to link the FB, to read a reading material prepare by me for an extra learning to cover my class which force to be cancel because of a reason. Finally my plan can’t carry on so well because of their parent not allow them to use FB, then I change the strategy to post the reading and exercise material to webnode and ask student to go to download and read on it.
For beginning, I had some positive respond on it. Some of the student tell me they like it, but in further they weren’t look to it with the excuse busy and parent not allow the to use internet in week day. They are only been allow to use the internet by week end, but they use almost all the time to play the game, online chatting and respond to FB. So I feel disappointed because of my effort were not been appreciate by parent and student, and I temporary stop to continue the work. But I had my plan to continue the effort by give student some of the hardcopy which is post to Webnode.
From the discussion, I found that if I want to make my plan success, I need to study again the fail’s cause and have a new start. I think it is important to engage the student to work with me in this project. I will ask the student to corporate with me to set up some contents according to their interest, and I also want to appoint a gatekeeper for each form to make sure the student respond to the online activities. I feel what I am learning now had inspire me with the new idea, and I hope I can do more better than before to bring a lot of goodness to my students.

ReplyDeleteIt wasn't weak.You showed us another experience of using an IT tool. Teaching and blending IT tool in the curriculum is always challenging as there are many issues to look at. What I also see that you are passionate in making your students learn. I am sure one day you will find your own rhythm in blending technology in teaching.
ReplyDeleteReferring to your last para, it inspires me to see another teacher putting in lots of effort to improve his/her pedagogy. I think you have a good idea here getting students to be more involved as it would give them a greater sense of belonging and ownership.
