First post first blog

Assalamualikum and Hi to all,

My name is Nur Hani Laily Bt Ramli.I am one of the students from U8B and currently doing my Degree in TESL.This is my final semester in UiTM Shah Alam and I am looking forward to get myself busy with all the assingments for this semester.Hehe...hopefully I can cope with all the stress throughout the semester.Amin.

Talking about rating my self based of my knowledge in camputer skills, I am in an INTERMEDIATE level.Not to say that I am trying to be humble but that is the fact about me.The only time that I really make use of the computer and internet,when I wanted to look for online journals,articles and any other additional information that I can use for my academic assingments.Not to forget,to check my mails,youtube and facebook.I am not into online or computer games.I do not really know much about the computer itself and this is my first time creating a blog.For the first half and hour,I was struggling to create this blog and the internet connection was so slow.Liyana and I were about to gave up but we realized that this blog was really important for us.

I only have few knowledge about software and hardware.Throughout my 5 years in university,I made used of the microsoft word,powerpoint presentation,microsoft publisher and microsoft excel to do my assingments.These are some of the software that I am familiar with and know how to used them.Like I said earlier,I am a novice computer users and I only know the basic things.As for the knowledge in hardware,I only have the basic knowledge about it,the important parts of the computer.Technically, I am not in 'good terms' with technologies.

However,I do experienced learning through online.During my secondary school,because I am from the science school,my Maths teacher taught us using some of the website that was very interesting,for better understanding and to captured our attention.I admit that at that time,my classmates and I were very mesmerized with the lesson.My history teacher was very good with computer and technology and during her class,we learnt history in computer lab.It was fun,easy learning and most important thing is that,the history was no longer a boring subject for me.

During my three months practial in Chinesse school, Yes,I did incorporate technology in my lessons especially for Literature.The students had the stigma that Literature equal to Shakespeare and Shakespeare equal to weird man with weird words(This was according to my students).So they thought that Literature was hard and what I did was,I used videoclips or songs to make my students understand the poems/shortstories better.They really enjoyed it and more or less,the understand the basic of the poems/shortstories.But,to me,technology seems do not like me much.There was time where I wanted to show my students about this particular videoclips for the lesson,the videoclip cannot be play and the worst part was,my mentor was at the back observing me.*sigh*
In my own personal opinion,it is good that in nowadays scenario,as future teachers/educators,we make use of the computer/technology in class because it is more interesting and we can do lots of things with technology.On top of that,students are more advanced with technology and they make use of it 24/7.But i still consider to make use of it during my lesson because like I said earlier,technology can be kind and at the same time can be cruel to me.

As for my expectation for this course,I hope that Prof Izaham and my friends that are good with technology can and will help me throughout my semester.After I heard the explanation given by Prof Izaham during the first class,I was really scared and worried because I know that I am not really good with it.But,I am willing to learn very hard in order to get a good grade.Hehe..InsyALLAH I was hoping that the assignments were not that hard and by the end of this course,I can proudly say that,’I LOVE TECHONOLOGY FROM HEAD TO TOE”.InsyALLAH.
Till we meet again.Assalamualaikum
