About me

Assalamualaikum and Hi!

1. My name is 'Afifah binti Shamsul Anuar. I'm a part 8 student at the University of Technology Mara. My goal as a human being is to learn as much as I can and hopefully I can be a better person from time to time. I love traveling, I love learning new foreign languages and cultures but most of all I love to constantly evaluate myself in hopes of making a better 'me'.

2. My computer skills are not at the level of which I can rate as expert or savvy. I know the basics of using the computer which proves that I'm not illiterate either. I use the computer for my personal benefits and pleasures (of course). For example, I know that I need to know how to use the programs in Microsoft Office (Word, Power point and etc.) to complete my assignment so I learn how to use them, I want to watch movies on my laptop so I learn to use the media players. However, I wouldn't consider myself as an adventurous person when it comes to exploring technology. Hence, I would rate myself as a novice user.

3. I'm familiar with  Microsoft Office, media players - VLC, Windows Media Player, Winamp and etc. Well, I guess I only know all the basics.

4. Yes. A few semesters back, I had courses that requires me to do online discussions on I-Learn.

5. Yes. However it was just showing video clips/ videos to the students.  It does make lesson more interesting! Students relate to the information faster through this way- show and tell. Rather than only 'telling' them verbally, I showed them what 'exactly happened' and of course it really helps me saving time on the explanation part. 

6. I think it would be really helpful since we can get more sources online and we can share more too! I guess this is what we call as 'give and take'. More things will come when we give more.

7. I hope I can improve my computer skills, allowing me to be better than 'novice' perhaps? Apart from that, I'm anticipating to see whether using the technology would really bring ease to the teaching process or the other way around because we cannot neglect the fact that technology can sometimes fail. The preparation too is tedious and complicated.

8. Academic Exercise:
    
    Topic: The Effects of Organizational Climate on Teachers' Motivation

    Supervisor: Mdm Norsiah

I hope I can finish my AE on time and I know that to do so, I cannot let myself be swayed even for a second! I need to remain focus at all time, at all cost. CONCENTRATION is the word here.
