WEEK 1 REFLECTION FOR GE2153 EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY.

A cherry on top of every sundae.

       During my first semester, we all had went through with Computer in Education which was very fascinating because I learned a lot about computers, software and some other amazing applications available in the internet. In this class, I managed to learn the term of Bitmap, Vector, e-learning and many more. Basically when I heard the name of this course, I was expecting sort of the same environment with my previous class where we would be in a computer lab, start doing research and have to do many presentations in groups. However, I cannot really predict the future whether this course is going to be memorable or the other way around. Well, hopefully not the negative feedback of course. I think I am going to enjoy this course because I already have the interest to learn more about computer and gadgets. What’s more interesting is this course will teach me more on the function of technology in education. I can’t wait to start Eucational Technology’s first syllabus or chapter on the second week.

       Later, I checked my iFolio and got an announcement to do a one minute video about myself. Honestly, I was not feeling well because of my sore throat but any students would be crazy not grabbing the opportunity to get along with their lecturer by introducing themselves even via virtually. I postponed the task until the day I went out to The Curve. Why doing the video elsewhere you ask? It’s because I have done a video about myself at my own house, this time I want to try something new and a thought came across my mind to do my video at some place new. Making the video was a lot of fun. First of all because I love watching myself speak in English and second  because I managed to entertain my classmates and viewers when they watched my video titled, “About Me” but most of all, I just wish I can see the look on my lecturer’s facial reactions when she will eventually view my task in iFolio.

       So far my first week as a second year student is going fine since I have already met almost half of my juniors in college and most of my seniors are super friendly. Therefore, I got no problem whenever I’m in Faculty of Education. Now, about my first day enrolling in Educational Technology, my friends and I were three minutes late because we had to take the second bus since the first bus was already full of juniors from Kolej Pendeta Za’ba. I was a little nervous as I pushed the classroom door. Probably because I knew Prof Madya Dr Rosseni was already in class and I thought she was going to scold me or maybe give me some sort of punishment for being late but luckily, she did not do anything to embarrass us.  So, thank you Prof Rosseni for being incredibly nice to us on our first day.


       My definition of technology is any kind of electronic device that can give its beneficial towards human kind to ease our everyday task or activities. Next, there is education which I would interpret as a source of sharing or learning among the educators and students. It does not matter who does the teaching as long as the process or giving and receiving is alive in a classroom environment. However, educational technology can best be seen as more of a study on how to use and manage technological equipments or resources available. My last words would be to express how thankful I am to have such amazing lecturers and classmates that understands me more than anyone else in campus. 

Thank you for reading and I will post more after this.
