Self Introduction

Hello beloved bloggers and followers. I am a B.Ed TESL student, doing a twinning program between IPG and UKM. Currently, I am studying in IPG Kampus Sarawak and will be moved to the main campus in UKM Bangi nextyear. Im a mix-blooded girl, Chinese and Bidayuh from Kuching. Perhaps that is the reason why some people can't recognize my race from my look. I guess I look both Chinese and Bidayuh, well blended.  

Being a teacher is always my dream. Perhaps, that interest is highly influenced by my social surrounding specifically my family. There are numbers of them who are teachers and working as other staffs in schools. 

A teacher is always to be a role model in the society. They are the source of information and knowledge. They shape a person as the artist decorates a white cloth.And clearly that inspired me to be in this path.

What makes a teacher so special? For me it is because of one big word that is VERSATILE. A teacher does not play a role to teach and educate the students alone but also play some other roles. In schools, teachers are first as the educator. Second, they are the administrator. They are leaders in everything in schools they are in. They are also the nurses, policemen, singers, actors and actresses and many more. Frankly speaking, teachers are the nerves of the society building. 

For the world is endlessly evolving and currently technology is standing high in any fields including education, teachers have to be well equipped with the ICT skills in order to be able to keep in track with the globalization of education. So I guess that is the reason why teacher trainees like us are to take computer and ICT related courses such as Computer in Education and Educational Technologies. Students nowadays are no longer as students in the olden days. We do not have to take a huge age and generation gap. Just take a look at the our own generation and the generation that is 2 or 3 years younger than us. They show so much differences in almost everything. And undeniably, most of them are very competent in computer and technology. Plus, online learning is very popular nowadays. Teaching and learning of chalk and talk basis is outdated, boring and ineffective to students nowadays. For they are so much being exposed to the world of technology, they will be more interested in teaching and learning of technology basis. 

In the nutshell, I hope that this course will help me to be better in technology. I'll do my best to learn as much skills as possible and hope to be able to incorporate them in my teaching in the future.
