ICT and learning.

Today Prof. Raja Maznah had explained well about ICT and learning in classroom. There are many interesting things about the latest educational field in Malaysia.
There are many things I learnt from this course that conducted by Prof. Raja Maznah which are:

Teacher training:
The Teacher Education Division formulated an intensive in service training named English for the Teaching of Mathematics and Science (ETeMS). Courses are conducted to train teachers to be proficient in using English as the second language to teach Science and Mathematics teacher who is proficient in English. The modes of training include Full Immersion Course, On-site Training, Usage of Self-instructional Package, On-line Web-based Learning and collaborative Learning through Buddy System. Each school will select a buddy who is an English teacher or a Science and Mathematics teacher who is proficient in English.

Textbooks
The textbook Division provide a special five-item package of textbook, activity book, teacher’s manuals, student’s CD-ROM and teacher’s CD-ROM.

Multimedia software
The Curriculum Development Center (CDC) has commission the development of CD-ROMs for selected topics which are delivered free to schools. Science Courseware developed under the Smart School Project is translated into English for schools.


Teacher should make use all the ICT to the fullest in order to create wonderful classroom learning. Furthermore, one of the aspects of an individual’s potential to be developed under the Philosophy of National Education is the intellect. Students who memorize information alone are not intellectual enough if they do not understand, analyse, evaluate, and apply such information in various situations.
