facebook..

I use the facebook more frequent up until now..at first I like it for it connects me to my friends all over the world especially my long pen pals..i don’t have to write letters to them anymore..with a single click, I can chat and send them messages and the most important thing, I can get the reply in a day, minutes or even seconds..but, I discovered a new application last 2 days, called Visual bookshelf and I was thinking..the power of sharing that the facebook possesses may facilitate the teaching and learning, whereby, teacher can share the new books that she read to the learners…this will encourage the learners to explore new things on the net and find interesting books that may assist in their learning as well..the visual bookshelf may replace the incumbent programme in school, ‘Projek Nilam’ which is meant to nurture reading habit among young learners..the learners will not only state the books they read, but they can also find books that they intend to read..they can make their own review as well as read others’ review in order to share opinions and choose the books that they find out tempting to read..
The facebook also assists the pupils to have their own network and figure out the people who are in the same network with them..thereby, they may have so many things in common to talk about..it is undeniable that teachers and pupils can easily discuss using this space but for me it just should not replace the classroom for they are totally different because things discussed may be misled..but it is useful in a sense that if pupils cannot see the teacher especially out of school time..

finally i feel relieved for i was able to complete the IWB task..eventhough it was not that easy, at least i was able to use the guidance given and explore the tools' functions to make it works well..
the use of IWB is not only to make the activity more colourful and tempting but it give me the ooportunity to me as a future teacher to discover more of the technology in order to integrate it in the classroom.
the use of IWB assists the teacher to create an interactive activities and to carry it out in a creative way by encouraging the pupils to participate in the activities throughout the lesson.. although it requires patience to make it suitable to be taught, it is a very wholesome experience that i can use later in my teaching..
as a future teacher, i found out that IWB is helpful to reduce the use of papers and it is able to let the teachers to make sure that the materials easily edited and can be improved everytime the teacher discovers new things that she can add on..teacher can also keep the task sheets safely for she can save it after she finishes doing every task sheets or activities..
the teacher can also point out to the screens that she wants by only clicking on the links saved so that she can easily go back to the previous slide or to go to any desirable slide..this will avoid the teacher from being confused of which activities that should come first..
the fonts used also can be made bigger in order to allow the whole class to look at the wide screen and comic sans font is suitable for it reflects their handwriting..
