~computer lab~

As far as I know, now we can see most of the school in Malaysia had been equipped with computer labs. But the question is how far teacher can maximize the usage of computer labs. It is the matter of how frequent a teacher will bring the pupils to the computer labs for their lesson. Teacher will always afraid to bring the pupils because the pupils might went out of control when they entered the computer lab. But it is important for teacher to realize how helpful a computer lab can be in playing its' crucial role in the part of the learning process.
Computer lab is where the pupils can used the computers and explore the provided software in learning. It is a place where the teacher can make a full use of technology and integrate it in the lesson. We have discussed the important of integrating technology in a lesson and in the computer lab; almost all of technological materials can be access by the teacher. by letting the pupils to have fun playing, exploring, learning and experimenting meaningful learning with computers, the teacher will eventually achieved the objectives of technology integration in the classroom.
There are so much that can be learn by pupils through the use of computers. Educational software is one of the alternatives that can be used so that the learner will able to learn, enjoy and apply their knowledge, all at the same time! Isn’t that great? It can help the teachers too by letting the pupils acquire their own learning and hence can become an independent learner. It is like killing 2 birds with 2 stone!
So, it is important for the teacher to make a full use of the computer lab. This is a good facility provided by the Ministry of Education to help the pupils to learn in a more effective and interactive way. Teacher should not just let the computer lab being abandoned without thinking about the potentials that the pupils can discover when they experienced learning with technology. So, teachers: good luck!
