Assalamualaikum and a very good day to the lovely Dr.Fariza and my fellow colleagues. I was very nervous for today class because we were having a presentation session. As I mentioned last week, I do love presenting, yet, I easily get stage fright and I often forget the things I was supposed to say. Still, I was building up my courage because I know that I must do well no matter how nervous I am. The presentation was start off with Group 1 which was Izza Hazwanie’s group. They presented about the 21st Century Skills. Through their presentation, I have discovered about four skills that are important as the 21st Century Skills. Those skills are communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. Moreover, the 21st Century Skills also included ICT as their tools for teaching and learning. The topic that they presented was very interesting. They did a very good job presenting about their topic. From their presentation, I can see that they have done a lot of research for their topic.
Moving on, my group was the next to present. The topic for our presentation was Learning About ICT. According to Blurton (2002), ICT is the diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store and manage information. Some examples of ICT tools are computers, internet and network, broadcasting technologies and telephony. In our presentation, we have included educational ICT tools, the opportunity for technology, types of learning with ICT, roles of ICT, characteristics and importance of ICT and lastly is creative teaching with ICT. When we were making the slides about this topic, I have learnt that ICT can help in education in so many ways. There are many tools available to be utilize for teaching and learning. ICT is not only focus on developing practical skills but also help to improve our soft skills. One must be able to develop themselves in learning about the technology that can be useful for them. Additionally, I was be able to discover several ICT tools that can be used in education such as Powtoon, Prezi.com, Kahoot and many more. Youtube also consider as one of the tools of ICT because it contains videos that can be used for educational purposes.
After the presentation, we had open session for answer and question session. Some of our colleagues had asked questions to us about some of the sub topic. Thankfully, my groupmates and I was be able to clarify their curiousity. Dr Fariza commented on our presentation. She said we were supposed to focus more about ICT not only about ICT and education. Nevertheless, she complimented that we have done a good job for our presentation. I was very happy to have finished the presentation because my heart was about to explode because of the nervousness.
