Day 3 lesson

  Hi Ms Hao, so happy to have breakfast with you this morning. Do you like the breakfast? It is really a traditional coffee shop in Johor Bahru, almost every local has been that shop before! It looked like you enjoy the food very much cos you finished all the food. This make me respect you very much cos you "respect" the food, ha ha! Actually I like Malaysia very much cos the life here is quite relax! How about you? Do you like Malaysia? What local foods you wish to buy? Maybe we can help you to buy!
  Today is really very tired but i still enjoy the lesson cos Ms Hao you are very patience. Today i learned about the disavantages of blog, wiki, bookmarks and many others technology tools. Besides, the virtual world -- second life really impress me. Moreover, today i also learn that technology is not panacea of poor instructional design, the most importance thing is  your pedagogy. It means that we must always remember meaningful teaching and learning.
  It is late, i would like to go home now. c u tomorrow! Have a nice day.  
 
 

Day 2 lesson

  Today i feel a little bit upset because i cannot help my other group members to type Chinese characters. However, i do contribute my part in sharing my opinion and ideas. I even write down every words for them to type. Besides, i think today i do learn many new things, such as what  twitter, plurk, yahoo, facebook are and how to use bubbl.us to help us to draw chart.
  Ms hao, i also think that today you are very patient to us, because you explain what action research is again to us, this make us feel more confidence in doing our paper!
  Besides, today i also learn about the advantage of blog and wiki in teaching. Now, i realised that blog can actually be used as a study guide or to review class materials, an easy distribution of learning materials, a place for thoughts sharing promotes interaction among class memebers and it encourages creativity. Moreover, Ms hao also taught us a new technical term -- digital divide and hope that we will not make the mistake.
  According to Ms hao highly recommended by using blog and wiki in our teaching, i hope that i can manage to use these two new teaching methods in my lessons.
  It is really tired, i would like to have a rest now! Hope you have a nice day too!

Day 1 lesson

  Hi Ms Hao, I am so excited to meet you today. Before today, i seldom use computer in my life, so actually i feel nervous before i step in this class. However, i feel a bit calm after your briefing. i believe that you will lead me step by step to enjoy using multi media to teach in class. Today, what i learned is that i finally realised that teaching is from teacher learning centre move to student learning centre, this is what we must always aware and understand. Besides, today i also learn what action research is, hope that after this 5 days lessons, we can produce a good research!
  After going home, i will think about the question(title) so that tomorrow i have sth. to contributes to my group. Now. I would like to go home and have a good rest, c u tomorrow!
