sMarT? WhaT?

Entered today’s class with the feeling of: s.l.e.e.p.y…! Just managed to sleep about an hour last night due to finishing my assignment. That is why lots of people advising me, never do the assignment at the very last hour. Hehe. But that’s what happened! Even though my eyes were swollen and ‘panda’ eyes started to emerge, I tell myself that I need to keep everything behind as today’s lesson is about the most interactive board ever, the ‘smart board’! This is not new to us as we had been exposed to it since we were in teacher training college, but some of the applications make me in the shadow of doubt. Just like one of my friend says, beyond the shadow of doubt, lies the truth… The ‘shifu’ of the day was miss fanny-cute, energetic yet understanding instructor! (She understands us on why all of us look so sleepy, thank you). Smart board for me, is a tool that can be used by teachers in order to create and interactive yet effective lesson so that the pupils will be interested and motivated to learn. But the problem is, whether the school administrator will provide this magical tool to be used in the school. If not, they had just missed such a golden opportunity to enhance the pupils’ abilities and interest towards the learning process. During our lesson, we were also asked to do some simple presentation by applying the applications that had been taught and create some activities that can be used in the classroom. Since this is not our group’s expertise (*wink*), we consult one of our ‘super-techno’ friend, Hafiz, for further consultation. Thanks to mr.piske! Then, walla! Our work is done! Hehe. Even though it is not that impressive, (due to the time constrain) we were able to present out work in front of everyone. We accept the challenge given and we did it with our utmost integrity. As the sayings say, ‘Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one’. Think deep!
