      • Ms. Noraisha - there are various ICT tools that accommodate to teaching Malay language...it's all up to the teacher to incorporate it in their lessons. A student-fronted lesson is made feasible through ICT.

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Salim - I have learnt many differing types of ICT tools that can be incorporated in the Malay lessons.

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Nadzirah - By incorporating ICT into lessons, students will feel more empowered in lessons because of the high level of participation as active learners.

        • Nov 1, 2011

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Herdiyani - From this course, I have gained more knowledge about the ICT tools available for teachers to use and how I can incorporate it into my lesson plan. I especially like HOT POTATOES! :)

        • Nov 1, 2011

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Shahidah - After these ICT sessions, I realise that there are many more platforms to tap on to teach Malay Language and if used correctly or more deeply, it could benefit the students even more. Looking forward to try out the tools shared! :)

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • :: Cikgu Hani - I am now empowered by so many ICT tools that I would not have known of otherwise. I would definitely use most of the new tools given the high level of engagement they are able to promote - of course not only use them per se..but to use them effectively. Thank you Dr Tan!

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. (Sam) - Honestly, there are MANY takeaways. but one very significant one; ICT is not just simply using the computer. It is fully maximizing the available tools to communicate to our audience, in this case, our students. Thanks Dr Tan for the amazing 13 weeks!

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Ali - I now know the vast difference between IT tool and ICT tool. Storybird,DoInk,Scribblar,ComicLife... With so many ICT tools that we were brought through during this course, I can see myself incorporating all these in my lesson plans in the future. =) Thank you Dr Tan and all the awesome group mates!

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Nurwahidah - I have learned that there are many ways for us educators to incorporate ICT effectively to enhance learning experience. I particularly like the various softwares that are introduced in the module and the different ways teacher can conduct their lesson such as game-based learning and flipped classroom without leaving the meaningful dimension of learning! It has been a fruitful learning journey for me throughout this course!

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Junaidi - One take-away : Learning has to be through engaging methods and ways. We should not limit learning in teh classroom through lazy methods of just being tradisional. We say that we are living in the modern world of the 21st century yet our classrooms remain the same. Dr Tan, thanks for being a very motivating thinker.This was what i needed.

        • Nov 1, 2011
      • Ms. Ahmad - Integrating ICT into the curriculum may not be easy. There may be students who do not have Internet connection or computers at home. Or the school community and parents might be resistant to move away from the traditional method of teaching. However, the benefits that students and teachers can get from using ICT is worth taking the first step towards the future.
        Thanks for the great course, Dr Tan! (:

    What is your main takeaway from the "flipped classroom"?
    • Ms. (Sam) - honestly it blew me away because i use to think of such a system but i didnt know it already existed. the whole time im just wondering whether it can be implemented in singapore, NIE specifically.

      • Oct 18, 2011

      • Ms. Noraisha - Flipped classroom allows for "teach less learn more" environment. It's definitely an advantage that students are able to learn at their own pace, without having to constantly ask their teacher for clarifications.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Salim - It is a good method to deviate away from the teacher fronted lesson. The students get to learn at their own time and target right from the comfort at home.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. M.Y. - flipped classroom is a promising way to teach students and it is a very fresh idea, and will benefit students greatly.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Maisarah - Flipped classroom is a new effective method in the learning of the students. Students can learn on their own pace. This encourages also collaborative learning as the students will naturally consult their peers before their teachers and the discussion can churn higher order thinking. And flipped classroom is GOOODDDDD!!! I'm lovin it!

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Mohd - its different from traditional teaching.It is much more productive as before they students come to class,they have to read the lecture 1st.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Mohd Ali - flipped classroom can change the way students and teacher interact in class. teachers now have more time to address the concerns of students in class without much delay. this also enables students to think better as they are able to comprehend what they have learnt at their own pace.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Norazirah - Flipped classroom is definitely a better way to mitigate the students' weak areas better since we can spend more time in class catching their mistakes while they are doing their work instead of letting them bring their work home and end up getting help from their parents, They might not solve their misconceptions.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Shahidah - It should be implemented in schools as it effective and will help students be more responsible towards their learning. Also, it will help the teacher be more productive too.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Affan - Flipped classroom showed me a whole new way to teach in an interesting and improvised way. it shows how powerful technology is now. As compared to only posting videos on Youtube, we teachers can now teach like Salman Khan:)

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Ali - A new strategy that has yet to be implemented in classroom. No more chasing of homework in class! Nonetheless, need to pull in skeptical parents and schools to this concept.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Ahmad - Teachers are always trying to integrate Differentiated Instruction (DI) into our teaching to cater to the varying learners in our class. Flipped classroom is an excellent strategy that would enable learners to learn at their own pace and master the concepts. Amazing! (:

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Nadzirah - Flipped classrooms provide an opportunity for lower ability children to strengthen their understanding about a topic by being able to replay the lecture repeatedly without having to trouble the teacher to explain again and again.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Nurwahidah - While it has it's benefits, I think having flipped classroom all the time is abit ambitious for a start. Another obstacle is to combat the mindsets of colleagues, students and parents. Having that said however, I'm excited to conduct this new pedagogy when I'm out teaching because I like the idea of delivering lesson using different approach :)

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Siti Salmah - parents are able to be eqiupped with the system and teach their child with the knowledge and content, the same way the teacher teach the students in class so that students will enhance their knowledge about the content the understanding about certain topics.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Junaidi - students learn at their own pace and they are comfortable w learning and questioning because they are equipped at home.

        • Oct 18, 2011
      • Ms. Herdiyani - Flipped classroom is a good platform for teachers to conduct lesson. It requires students to come prepared for the lesson beforehand, saving teacher's time to teach the new concept. Peer interaction is incorporated too, allowing students to teach their friends.

        • Oct 18, 2011
    • Dr. Tan - Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
      Do note that the concept and practice of flipping the classroom is not new. However, at least two things have contributed to its new found popularity: Current technology (broadband access and mobile devices) and shifts in education (e.g., unhappiness with current teaching methods, an emphasis on student-centred learning).
      The difficulties in implementation are less about tech and resources but more about mindset. The tech is getting more common and intuitive to use so that resources can be created and consumed easily. The mindset

    Good day Dr Tan, how do I include my powerpoint slides, in the case that my lesson plan has powerpoint slides involved? Thank you!

    Hello Dr Tan & TG14 Girls, I would like to clarify, does the cyberwelness issues with regards to lesson planning & implementation HAVE to be based on our own lesson plan or lesson planning in GENERAL?
    • Dr. Tan - The cyberwellness issues should be based on your lesson.

    • Ms. Nadzirah - Sorry, it's "perfect for me" not "perfect to me". ANDDD!! I don't know whether I missed this out but I just found out that we can change the facial expressions of the characters! Just click "Emotions" on the editing tab and find the expression that is suitable to the story.

      • Oct 11, 2011
    • Dr. Tan - Nien, nien, nien... not Hilter again! Toondoo needs more mustachioed figures.
      But good find on the emotions option!
