Sakinah's Reflection

All in all I’ve gained many insights on what ICT is. It is not just merely using technology to impress students and hear all the ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ from our dear students. Incorporating ICT is more than that. ICT is about transferring knowledge and communicating it. It is about feedback and responses that stimulate students’ thoughts. Students are not empty vessels that we need to fill up with information. Students need to assess and deciphering the information and to further of the ‘why’s and not merely accepting it as it is. There are many types of ICT, I realized. There are even blog discussions.
I learnt many terms like self-directed and collaborative learning and experience many activities like think-pair-share and jigsaw. I also learn about the 5 meaningful learning framework. It is vital to include all the 5 factors to conduct a meaningful learning class.
Personally, I feel that I have benefited from this ICT class. It is very different from other classes. Firstly, there’s the blog reflection. No other modules have this. The classes are not teacher-centered; they are mostly student-centered. There’s not much listening to the teacher, a lot of the listening will be done among the team members, where we have to discuss, listen and feedback on other’s findings. It’s nice to have a change once in a while. I think that I would like to incorporate ICT into my classes into the future.
