The Internet and 3W

Hello Friends,

For today I would like to share about ‘The Internet and 3W which stands for Worldwide Web”, which will be our topic for this. Before all the explanation and sharing knowledge session, lets watch a short video entitle “What is the world wide web?” So here we go!

     Generally, Internet is characterized as the worldwide arrangement of interconnected PC organizes that utilization the standard Internet convention suite (regularly called TCP/IP, despite the fact that not all conventions utilize TCP) to serve billions of clients around the world. It is a system of systems that comprises of a large number of private, open, scholarly, businesses, and government systems, of neighborhood to worldwide degree, that are connected by an expansive exhibit of electronic, remote and optical systems administration advancements.

        As for Computers Networks and Internet, it is a computer systems empower individuals to speak with each other through remain solitary computers, while Internet empowers individuals to convey over the globe. Organize correspondence can be utilized as a part of instructing and learning. Systems administration and Internet help clients to look and convey data, and to make it feasible for educators and learners to associate with each other universally to find new thoughts.

       There are several of network resources when comes to “The Primary Objective of A Computer Network. For examples;

•      We can play CD music from one PC while sitting on another PC.

•     We may have a PC that doesn't have a DVD or BluRay (BD) player. For this situation, you can put a motion picture plate (DVD or BD) on the PC that has the player, and after that view the film on a PC that does not have the player.

•    We may have a PC with a CD/DVD/BD author or a reinforcement framework however the other PC doesn't have it. For this situation, you can consume plates or make reinforcements on a PC that has one of this yet utilizing information from a PC that doesn't have a circle essayist or a reinforcement framework.

•      We can interface a printer (or a scanner, or a fax machine) to one PC and let different PCs of the system print (or sweep, or fax) to that printer (or scanner, or fax machine).

•      We can put a plate with pictures on one PC and let different PCs get to those photos.

•     We can make records and store them in one PC, then get to those documents from alternate computer(s) associated with it. 

    Next, we learned about the exploit of E-mail usage in education.  For a task / assignment transmission the students will use e-mail as a toll to present their assignments. As for class discussions, teachers can present question on the understudies in class. Not forgetting the electronic key pals, where the students can cooperate remotely for similar assignments. The correspondences of wide range conceivable can identify with class, instructor or potentially different understudies.

     The image above shows a server. A server is an all the more intense PC that associates singular workstations to each other and furthermore to the share-capable peripherals, for example, printers.

     It contains the systems administration programming that oversees arrange wide correspondence, and incorporates at least one huge hard plate drives to store administration programming, basic documents, and projects that all workstations can share. The server, workstations, peripherals, and wiring that interface them, make up the system.

    The image above is a “Hub”, a hub is hardware that interfaces the workstations, and it is associated with the server. Most associations are done through physical wiring, while others are associated through remote associations.

     Littler systems that associate machines in neighbourhoods, as classroom or school, are called neighbourhood (LANs). Bigger systems that interface machine over a wide zone, for example, all schools in a locale or all regions in a state are called wide territory systems (WANs).

     The image above is a protocol, it is a typical institutionalized correspondence organize. Systems that utilization a similar protocol, paying little respect to the kind of machines or system programming, empower workstations to speak with each other inside LAN, WAN or Internet systems.

       Another issue of utilizing systems is the change of data of documents of different sizes, i.e. from little records (email message, reminder) to huge records (representation, exceptionally complex reports, sound, video).

       Apart that, Bandwidth is the arrangement of transmission media  that can be grouped into Small Bandwidth that can transmit little records, Medium Bandwidth that can transmit medium records (reports, spreadsheets, straightforward illustrations), Large Bandwidth that can transmit expansive documents (representation, archives), and Very Large Bandwidth that can transmit vast documents. Nonetheless, substantial documents can likewise be transmitted through Small Bandwidth by changing over them to parcels.

    Hence, we also learned about the uses and the advantages of using the Internet in classroom environment. The uses are:

 1. The information of the world accessible in any classroom.

2. Worldwide correspondence conceivable, including imparting for learning.

3. Taking an interest in virtual learning (concentrate possess self at home) groups crosswise over countries.

      The advantages of implementing Internet in teaching and learning process are we can learn at our own pace, utilize a variety of teaching and learning styles, keep a flexible schedule, and lessons can be more conducted as more to student centered.

   Conclusion, by learning this weeks topic we were able to gain more knowledge regarding the world wide web. Apart from that, doing weekly reflection journal does seems to have any problems. Meanwhile, it triggers my initiative to write more and to implement the usage of images and videos to make my readers well versed about the content.

    That will be the last element for this week, hope it gave some new information for the readers. Thank you for reading my blog and do give your feedback by commenting. See you soon.

Week 6 ( Reflection Journal )..

Academic Software for Mathematics Learning..

Hello Everyone,

       I am really excited to share what we have learned for this week. As the title above, today’s topic was about Academic Software for Mathematics Learning. It is an interesting topic because, it briefs on who we, the future teachers to be can implement the academic software in teaching and learning for our students. Instructive programming is PC programming, the main role of which is instructing or self-learning.

      Next, we learned about the cases of instructive programming which are Courseware and Edutainment. Its significance initially was utilized to depict extra instructive material expected as units for educators or coaches or as instructional exercises for understudies, typically bundled for use with a PC.

    Meanwhile, edutainment in a more extensive sense, the term edutainment depicts a purposeful merger of PC recreations and instructive programming into a solitary item and it also could lines likewise involve more genuine titles portrayed above under kids' learning programming.

       Other than that, there are many significance of instructive programming in educating and learning process that happens in a classroom, such as the empower understudies to wind up plainly more powerful autonomous learners, empower understudies to gather data that generally would have been outlandish, tedious, or expensive, empower understudies to involvement with the changing parts of a model like expanding or bringing down loan costs and the empower incapacitated learners (moderate learners) succeed thus.

Hence, we also learned about the portion of the primary points of interest of utilizing instructive programming in educating and learning process that happens in a classroom such as;

•        Youngsters control their own particular learning knowledge, the pace at which they learn and how tested they are.
•         PCs help youngsters to utilize the majority of their faculties to concentrate data.
•          Youngsters learn through making and using hands-on information.
•          PCs help youngsters build up an inspirational state of mind towards innovation.
•          PCs are advantageous in building up youngsters' principal aptitudes (i.e. letters, numbers, hues, shapes, mood, circumstances and end results, critical thinking, procedural considering, innovativeness).
•          PCs are truly advantageous to youngsters who have discourse, sound or engine restrictions since they go about as a patient mentor permitting the tyke to learn at his own particular pace.
•          PCs can show fearlessness and self-regard.
•          PCs can show social abilities.

     As for the “Academic Software” there are various types of Software such as;

Ø  Writing Systems.

Ø  Desktop Publishing.

Ø  Illustrations Software.

Ø  Paint Programs.

Ø  Draw Programs.

Ø  Imaging Software.

Ø  Altering Software.

Ø  Critical thinking Software.

        Apart from that, we also learned the about the “Periodic table of educational technology tools’ which is structured using trouble-free graphics.

          Implantation of academic software in education results a great feedback and the level of adaptation towards it among students increases as the same time. For an example, familiar as this assignment, we were required to create our own blogs for the subject ‘Pedagogy in Education’ in our 3th semester. It was difficult to adapt the functions and the ways to create and make use of our blogs. But as time goes on, blogging was a piece of cake for us. Not forgetting that, when we were assigned with this assignment, creating a blog and blogging weekly was not as difficult as it was.

       All this improvement and usage of software was easy due to the exposure that we had before. Academic software’s has its own advantages in certain ways.

     

      There are some disadvantages when comes to educational software such as,  the software should be deliberately picked keeping in mind the end goal to guarantee that what is holding your kid's consideration is likewise instructing them in the meantime. Hence, some software doesn't make it evident that it has no instructive esteem. It is uncommon to discover a school that has enough PCs for each understudy, along these lines booking can end up noticeably risky.

         Furthermore, it is hard to stand out enough to be noticed at whatever point they are on the PC and strong skeletal wounds and vision issues can emerge at whatever point understudies invest excessively energy utilizing the PC. We do need to be aware of this when comes to academic software.

      As a sum up, today’s topic was very beneficial for us. Thank you for reading my blog, and for your wonderful support. Keep reading and keep learning more.  Have a great day , Take care.

Hi everyone,

    I am Jeeveswarry Ragaven .  It is me, like a sky on a clear sunny day in the profile picture. I am a 21 years old girl, who was born on the 17^th of the month of love in the year 1996. I was born and raised in Penang which is the well known state of Malaysia for food.

     I am girl who loves to spend my time by improving my dancing and singing skills and i love to watch movies and cartoons. Especially my favourite cartoon character will be the yellow guy (SpongeBob squarepants) and so far I have perform approximately 10 dancing performances during family functions and special events.

    Bachelors of Education in UNITAR will be the course which I am engaged with. It will be my childhood dream to become a tutor/ lecture, and the level of initiative increases when those beautiful ladies stepped into my life as my teachers such as teacher Vanidha, Prema, Nur Farhana, Nur Jamilah, and kala. Their passion, determination and involvement level towards their profession has no words to describe.

    Form them I have learned that, a teacher can shape a student for a great betterment without considering the students family background and without expecting anything in return except for their success in life. A teacher doesn’t only teach, they keep learning more and more to fulfil their student’s needs.

    As a future teacher, the philosophy that I would emphasize more will be on Progressivism. It because as a teacher I need to be crystal clear with my objectives which will be, what I really wants my students to learn and practice as betterment for their living. By injecting progressivism in my pedagogy skills, I can observe my students and also mine from time to time which will create an effective learning phenomena in the classroom.

     The goals that I would love to achieve are firstly, once I am graduated as a teacher, I will proceed with my Master’s degree (MA. TESOL) to enhance my knowledge more based on this field. Secondly, I would prefer to teach students with special needs. It is because I personally believe that more scaffolding is needed to students with special needs compared to other students.

     I will emphasize on that because I have more experiences based on it since I have couple of family members who have disability in themselves.  Helping such students to develop themselves will bring more satisfaction in a teacher’s life. I also believe that by adapting knowledge from this subject called technology and math education, I will be able to learn more interesting ways to conduct lessons in the future by incorporate technology in education.

    Technology is important as the involvement of technology in education can help the instructors / teachers to personalize the education experience. It is because technology in teaching enhances the education level. With the help of website, apps, learning games, e-book and virtual tutoring students can obtain more knowledge in an adequate manner.

     Thus, it is student preferences. In 21^st century of teaching and learning process, gadgets have a vital role to gain knowledge. Most school or college students prefer to integrate technology in their daily curriculum basis. It is because they are used to browse and find information as to add on their knowledge with the help of technology and gadgets. Moreover, a survey shows that 54% of students will use minimum of 2 gadgets to accomplish their school/ college work.

    Hence, technology trend towards blended learning environment. A survey shows that 75% of students currently have experience in blended online learning. This way is welcomed and liked by students and also the institutions. As they can make sure that their students can have unlimited access to their learning materials with the help of e-textbook and more. Apart from that, blended learning environment support online submission and cut down the expenses cost on paper, which contributes to save the environment in a way.

    Furthermore, teachers support technology in classroom. According to a current survey among teachers 74% of them agreed to reinforce technology in their daily lessons. They have stated that, technology in classroom never prosper without the h teachers’ support. On other hand, from kindergarten to middle school teachers of 78% agrees that “technology in lesson has a positive impact”. The above data collection is in current era, as for future without technology life will become complicated and miserable.

    I belief that you had a great time by spending time to read my blog. I am eagerly looking forward for your feedback, so please do leave comments below and frequently keep viewing my blog for more post. 

Thank you and Have a great week ahead
