Pn. Foziah gave us a task which required us to design and prepare teaching aids in pairs. It was actually a training that would familiarize us with incorporating technology in teaching resources development and prepare us for Assignment 2. My partner is Atiqah. I never worked with her for assignments, at least not in pairs. It is a good thing to work with people of different gender. Gender roles vary. Studies of the brain have revealed that female brains are stronger in the left hemisphere. In males, the right hemisphere, which governs spatial perception, is stronger. Therefore, a pair of different gender would benefit both advantages.
Sitting in pairs, we were required to plan and develop technological teaching aids based on the topics given. Ours were Directions, Transportations, and Occupations. I would say that it was easy to search for teaching aids from the Internet since it was what I have been doing for years. Trust me; you’ll find endless supplies of teaching aids on the internet.
However, taking their suitability and practicality in the classroom into considerations was very tricky. Back in IPGM Kampus Ilmu Khas, we were very familiar with non-technological teaching aids and the technological resources were only limited to the use of audios, videos, and PowerPoint. Pn. Foziah made it very clear that they remain unexplored by most teachers.
