I am a Science student of Sultan
Idris University of Education. I am in 5th semester (3rd year)
now. For this semester, all of the Science student had to take SSI 3013,
Information and Communication Technology in Science which asked us to learn
about the usage of technology in teaching and learning in school. There are
many things that my course mate and I learn in this course. In this course we
were taught about a new technology such as data logging, simulation and modelling,
Interactive White Board (IWB), and how to blogging. It is very interesting when
learning about those topics because I love to explore very much about that.
During my first ICT class, I
actually don’t know what I am going to learn in this course. I know this class
is about the information technology, but I didn’t expect that I am going to
learn many new things. In the first class we have been introduced to data
logging. Data logging act as an equipment that is used in experiment, which
give us more accurate reading, help us doing the experiment easier and let us
get more readings up to 100,000; which is impossible to get manually. This data
logger also help us to do the experiment repeatedly and save our time. Using
this equipment, students can do an experiment without wasting their time in
obtaining the result because the data logger will help them to take the data
and plot the graph. There are many types of sensor that can connect to the data
logger such as pulse sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pH sensor and
others. Actually, after En. Azmi gaves lecture about data logging, I didn’t
understand too much and I still blurred about what is data logging. But, after
En. Azmi asked us to design Science experiment that integrates data logging in
a group, I can clearly understand about data logging. It gives me better
understanding of scientific experimentation. My group decided to make an
experiment about heat loss due to radiation.
After that, we learned about the
Smart School and Interactive White Board. Firstly, we were been introduced what
is the Smart School. Smart School is the school that has advance facilities and
the other infrastructures. This school used mostly ICT application in the
administration and also used in teaching and learning process. Interactive
white board have many advantages if teacher use in the class. It is quick and
easy teaching tool and safe search when using the internet.
When entered the laboratory, it was the first time
I saw the IWB. I think the IWB is interesting as I can control the computer by
clicking and touching on the board using finger, a pen or other device without
using the mouse.
In this subject also, I learned
about how to blogging. It is very new to me because before this I didn’t know
anything about blogging. But, after I had to make E Portfolio as one of the
assignment in this courses, I can learned and experienced so many things.
Although it took time to learned about this at first, but I am really enjoyed
because blogging is very interesting to me. I had learn on how to create a good
and attractive page which then can make readers stay on my page and keep
reading my posting.
I also learned about simulation and
modelling in this subject. My course mates and I were asked to use STELLA in
our assignment of simulation and modelling. It is very difficult assignment
among others for me because I had to critically analyses the graph in the
STELLA and thought the ways to use it in teaching and learning. But,
actually it is quiet interesting. I think the simulation and modelling will
really helps teacher to teach student about science concept especially the
abstract ones. I really appreciate the power of simulation and modelling in
visualizing and understanding science concept. Teacher can deliver their
lessons in more effective and interactive ways. This way of teaching can help
teachers to attract the student's attention and make them involve in class.
Last but not least, this Information
and Communication Technology in Science subject
gives me a lot of advantages and experiences of many new things. This
course helps me in improving my ability in using ICT. Besides that, it also
opens my mind and broadens my own perspective about learning ICT. I hope that
those things that I had learn in this subject really help me while teaching in
school someday. I hope that when using this kind of technology, I can improve
my way of teaching in school and attract the students to involve in my class
soon.
