Abstract
This is my
personal account while attempting to embed creativity in my teaching as a
response to the current call for 21st century learning skills and
classroom models. Owing to the dullness and stagnant in presenting the lecture,
the attempt was carried out by using cloud computing merged with grounded teaching
facilities to create an astonising presentation style for my lecture. While
navigating my teaching delivery, I encountered many possibilities and
impossibilities. Apart from enriching my strenghts, it invaluably discloses my rectifiable
weaknesses; the ones that I didn’t believe needed to be addressed before. The contentment
and satisfaction derived from the experience evidenced in the students’
after-class-reflection and written responses, paved to a whole new perspective
of mind reboosting. What I gathered from the endeavor is the lesson for life;
lifelong learning could be manifested only if you are willing to expose yourself
for possibilities and impossibilities. To ‘learn, unlearn and relearn’ is the
whole true notion to be grasped and exercised by a 21st century
teacher.
To be presented at Seminar Zon Utara IPGM (23-25 April 2013)
