UITM EDU456 - It all starts here.

    EDU456- Innovative Technologies In Teaching    And Learning.

    Hello and greetings to all of my colleagues and lecturers. I wish you all great health at any and all times. Before I get into the content of this blog, allow me to introduce myself. Here's a quick rundown of who I am. Afiqah Rashid is the given name for me. I was the youngest of five siblings. My parents raised me in Alor Setar Kedah where I was born too. I am a Kedah Matriculation College graduate and I started my studies at a university that I had always wanted to attend, UiTM Puncak Alam. I was able to secure a lucrative opportunity to continue my bachelor's degree in the faculty of education, where I was able to pursue my ambition in  Science Education (HONS.) Biology. 

    There is one subject in this course that has piqued my interest which is EDU456, it focuses on innovative technologies in teaching and learning. Without further ado, I'd like to get to the point of this blog. The main reason I'm writing this blog is to express to the readers what I expect from this topic so I think this subject is very important for this course.

    It is clear that the emphasis of this topic is technical innovation in learning and teaching. Therefore, I would anticipate that today's learning and teaching through the use of technology is very interesting. As we can see now, we have access to all knowledge at our fingertips. What I expect to learn from this subject is that students and teachers will be able to stop becoming human beings with no understanding of technology.This topic also teaches instructors about various platforms and initiatives for imparting information through technology. This will assist students in learning more about how to use this advanced technology. Next, I expect students also will discover facts and expertise on their own if they use the emerging innovations wisely. This is ideal for students who are too shy to ask questions of their classmates or teachers. As a result, they would not miss out on the lessons taught by their teachers at school.

    This is really important because, as we can see, Covid19 virus has recently hit the earth. Online learning is being used in a majority of places including Malaysia. This simply proves that knowledge of this technology is needed for all individuals.During online classes, instructors and students can use a variety of platforms such as Google classroom, Google meet, Zoom, and others. In terms of preparation, it can be done using Google forms, Quizzes, and other applications that perform the same purpose.Learning and teaching using technology is not limited to today. Perhaps in the future, when technology is fully used in learning and teaching.It is also possible that this learning would be applied in cases where a student who is unable to attend school for an extended period of time due to a variety of reasons will learn through other initiatives such as using multiple learning mediums to avoid missing out. As a result, educators must care while teaching with this technology.

    This is all I expect what I as a student and a prospective educator will gain in the present and the future. This course gives various advantages and importance in imparting knowledge. This can also prove that there is no more reason needed in seeking knowledge in society. This can also raise the dignity of the people of the country and give birth to the people of the country who have a first-class mind. Thus, the country can progress and place a name all over the world.
