My Teaching and Learning Philosophy

My photo
Teaching means learning. When we teach, we are questing for knowledge. Hence, learning. Thus, teaching is a manifestation of lifelong learning. Being a teacher, is a lifelong learner, a learning designer. All this is due to my philosophy of "Life is a redox"; when one gives, another has to take, otherwise, life won't exist. Teaching is a devotion, not just a profession.

Pt 4: 14 obsolete things in 21st century school (tulisan asal Ingvi Hrannar Ómarsson)

4. Banning phones and tablets

(Ini kesinambungan dari perkara ke-3 sebelum ini iaitu mengharamkan Wifi di sekolah. Pengharaman Wifi dan telefon pintar di sekolah sangat berkait rapat)
*******************************************
Taking phones and tablets from students instead of using them to enhance learning is obsolete. We should celebrate the technology students bring and use them as learning tools.








Phones are no longer just devices to text and make phone calls… when they were, then banning them was OK. Today there is more processing power in the average cellular telephone than NASA had access to when they sent a man to the moon in 1969. Yet most students only know how to use these devices for social media and playing games.

Today you can edit a movie, make a radio show, take pictures, make posters, websites, blog, tweet as a character from a book, have class conversations over TodaysMeet and Google most answers on a test with the device in your pocket. We should show our students the learning possibilities & turn these distractions into learning opportunities that will reach far outside the
classroom.

Benar sekali, kan.

Dengan munculnya telefon pintar (yang ada akses ke Internet) pembelajaran sepatutnya menjadi lebih menarik, engaging dan meaningful.

Ya betul,  ada kerisauan ttg penggunaan telefon pintar tanpa kawalan di sekolah. Kebimbangan munculnya gejala sosial, kes disiplin adalah agak berasas.

Namun, telah lebih 10 tahun kita di Malaysia haramkan telefon pintar ke sekolah, namun di manakah mekanisme pendidikan dalam masa 10 tahun pengharaman itu?

Sewajarnya, Isu penggunaan telefon pintar secara bermoral perlu ditangani dengan bijak dan berhemah, secara berasur-ansur sejak 10 tahun yang lalu. bukan sekarang.

Sekarang ialah masa menggunakannya dengan bertanggungjawab kerana 10 tahun lepas, pelajar-pelajar telah pun menjalani proses pendidikan yang berterusan.

In sum, it starts at home, I believe.
Supported by teachers, at schools.
It's called integrated curriculum; home-education and school-education. Teachers and parents work alongside hand in hand to assist their children.

Let's start by teacher portraying him/herself as a good model in using smartphoneone to engage students in their learning. How? A challenge to us all.

Humble lines: DrNK
