Class session 1

Today's lesson is mainly an introduction of what I will be doing for this course. Mainly it's about using ICT to engage learning of students , to answer the call for the master plan 1,2, and 3!

Dr.Ashley(nope,a guy) started out talking in detail about the course expectations and then with an ice-breaker.

Well, from my understanding, ICT does help students learn in an certain extent. The hands on experience they gain through ICT helps them to understand better, faster and more efficient.

I hope to be more exposed to different types of ICT tools that can be useful for the students. I wish to learn the pros and cons of the different ICT tools used to target certain type of students or to reach out students that might only perform better or well with ICT.

From this first lesson, frankly speaking I felt a bit excited? and a bit scared?
Why excited?---> because its interesting to learn new stuff, especially things that has got to do with computers?
why scared?---> umm, I donno, maybe I'm emo? or maybe Dr.Ashley is scary because he bites people's head off if their late for class? haha...
Ok I'll cut the crap and back to business.
I've learned that other than blogspot.com, there are others such as EduBlog and LiveJournal. =)
I've learned that to make the MP3 a reality takes time as we(trainee teachers) are the changing element.
I've learned that differences between MP1,MP2 and MP3. haha.

Well,my questions are now how to construct a lesson plan and integrate a suitable ICt tool in it? I guess my answers are all in the upcoming lessons.. haha.
