Week 1

It was the first day when i entered Pn. Foziah's class for "Using and Developing Resources for ESL Classroom". We were supposed to have the class on Tuesday, but perhaps something came up. As I entered the computer lab, I wondered myself "Is it another technology class that I have to complete by the end of the semester?". As Pn. Foziah mentioned such words like "riva encoder", "keepvid" and "limewire", I totally cannot recall anything match to such computer terms in my 'schemata' as if I never come across to such terms before. Little did i realized that I am so left-out in the name of technology and this has opened-up my eyes that I really need to work on my ICT skills. As Pn. Foziah mentioned about buying at least a 4 GB pendrive for this course, I really cannot imagine that I have to spend that much (of course includes the cost on the streamyx access that we were about to set-up at our house) on the technology. all I can say is, the need of using technology nowadays, has given a big impact to my whole life. By hook or by crook I have to admit that technology skill is not an option anymore, but a 'must have' skill nowadays. As future teacher, of course I need to equip myself with all these skills so that I won't be left-out in the world of globalization..
