Reflection 4 ( What did I discover)

            Hello everyone! I am sorry for not updating my blog lately due to lot of assignment need to settle up. Finally here I am to give my next reflection on about what did I discover last week. 

            For the most part that I discover last week is about how to use power point in teaching and learning process. As a teacher in this 21st century, using power point as teaching aid is major important to attract students attention and create new environment or experience for students. Normally teacher using notes and whiteboard but nowadays teacher should use power point as their teaching aid to make their teaching more productive and systematic following the lesson plan that has been planned. The main advantage is flexibility, both in terms of the content of the presentation and the way in which the information is displayed.


           What I have learn on how to create power point, where we should use less words and more images to express the information. We should not put lengthy of words just to describe one certain thing. Especially in mathematics, we should put more images and put formulas that should been use in certain calculations. In addition, use white or black background instead of colourful or background that have design that could minimize our space for words. Do not use more types of fonts which could give us difficulty to choose and remembering which one we should use. In terms of transition, use swipe from left to right or right to left. I also identify where we should use real image as gifs or visual graphic especially to secondary school. Use images that could relate to the students interest where they can remember more effective and they can understand the topic itself.




I believe we should use examples that shows Malaysians, where it will be close to students culture. For instance if we want to create activity, we should write the instruction because students could not remember every details that we told them. So it is better we write it in the slide and they can take a look on it if they are not understand. Learning objectives and learning outcomes should be put in the slides as well to ensure that teacher and students could achieve the goals in learning outcomes.

Here you go. Will come back later for next reflection ! See you guys later !

    1. Hi Fatin! Thank you for your 'WOW' compliment. :)
      Oh i believe when you put so much words in the slides, it will give students uncomfortable view and they could not focus on which point should be the highlighted. It is almost same when you give an article to your students. I guess it is enough if you just come out with point including an image for best example for students. students nowadays will be attracted with image than hundreds of words. This is the way we want to attract our students to keep focus during in the class.
      Thank you :)

    1. Hi Siva. Nice to see you here. Oh if in that case, I would like to suggest if the teacher can comes out with mahjong paper, or maybe print out the notes for them. It could help them to see the clear picture for the topic that we discussing on. I understand there are some schools that not provide projector, internet at all. We still have chance to teach them, there is no excuse in teaching and learning process. :)
      Thank you.
