Last tutorial for Teknologi & Inovasi dalam Pendidikan

In the tutorial today, the given task was "Tugasan tutorial;
Pendidikan pada masa kini adalah pelaburan masa hadapan. Berikan hujah anda bersama dengan satu bukti daripada bahan dp internet (Jurnal, artikel atau buku)".

My answer is as below:

Pada pendapat saya, saya sungguh bersetuju dengan pernyataan "Pendidikan pada masa kini adalah pelaburan masa hadapan". Ini kerana manusia yang tidak berpengatahuan dan tidak mempunyai pendidikan yang formal/lengkap tidak dapat menjadi pemimpin negara yang berjaya. Sebagaimana yang kita tahu, persaingan yang sengit telah pun berlaku di seluruh dunia dimana yang terbaik dapat menjadi yang memimpin. Oleh itu, pendidikan pada masa kini adalah amat penting untuk pemuda-pemudi zaman sekarang. Disertakan adalah bukti akademik saya:

"TEKNOLOGI BAKAL MENGGANTIKAN GURU DI SEKOLAH"

The above was a statement we need to comment on for our tutorial today.. And below is my answer :)

Selamat pagi, Dr Jamal. Pada pendapat saya, saya rasa teknologi sudah pun bermula menggantikan guru yang mengajar di sekolah. Saya berkata demikian kerana di sesetengah negara yang lebih maju dan berteknologi canggih telah mula mengamalkan e-pembelajaran, iaitu pembelajaran secara "online" dari rumah. Para pelajar tidak perlu berulang-alik ke sekolah tetapi hanya duduk di rumah dan mengakses laman web sahaja. Lecture dan tutorial diberi secara online, malah kerja rumah pun diberi melalui laman web sahaja. Akan tetapi, saya berpendapat pembelajaran melalui teknologi ini tidaklah sebaik dididik oleh guru di sekolah kerana pelajar tidak dapat berinteraksi dengan komputer manakala guru boleh menjadi teladan yang baik pada pelajar.

Please, feel free to comment ^~^

Teaching English

Now, learning English is actually very fun if our educators know the right and fun way to do it.. From young, we are pushed into communication with the English language, but still many can’t score in their exams or even speak a perfect sentence without getting 1 grammar mistake.. Why is that so ? *Ponder ponder* I guess that may be due to the boring ways we have been taught maybe ? Just saying ya.. No offence to whomsoever if any felt..

Well, to go on.. I found some really great videos on how people learn and teach English in fun ways.. Watch and learn:

The Escaped Killer

I sat across from father in the living room and expelled a loud sigh. In a quick nano-second, I vomited everything that had been haunting me for the past several days. I saw in my father's eyes all his hopes and dreams in me shattered. Mother dropped the bowl of fruits; she couldn't believe her baby boy had committed murder. As she screamed, I shuddered as I realized how similar mother's shriek was to Nurul's, as I brought the knife down on her. Father barked at me to get out of his sight. As I retreated, I saw him fidget with his gold-club as he anxiously watched the news. He was probably looking for any sign of Nurul's murder. Suddenly, I heard a thunderous rapping on the front door. Without hesitation I crouched behind the cabinet and shuddered.

Just as father got up, a large bald man burst into the room, brandishing a glock. I recognised him immediately. The last face I wanted to see; Pak Samat. Father and Pak Samat stared daggers at each other in stunned silence. Just at the right moment, a sneeze plagued me and I was discovered by the two men. As if God was trying to avenge Nurul, mother walked into the room with a cell phone glued to her ear. Mother screamed shrilly. In the confusion of the moment, I saw father lunge at Pak Samat, attempting to bring down the golf club on his head. A flash of light and an explosive clap befuddled me. Father collapsed to the ground, clutching his shoulder, the club slid away from him. Mother screamed yet again and fainted. Pak Samat approached me. He cursed me for taking his precious daughter's life; tears cascading down his face.

I looked up to the barrel of the gun. The only word that came to my wretched mouth was sorry. I squeezed my eyes shut, anticipating death. The same explosive clap sounded again. I felt warm tricklings of blood on me. There was no pain, so I realized the blood was not my own. I opened my eyes and saw Pak Samat sprawled spread-eagle on the ground; blood leaking from his forehead. That was as far as my sanity could take, I broke.

Musings

A shower in the early rays of light

Trembling outside

Feeling warmth inside

Dews from the night

Then came the knight

High up on his ride

To claim his bride

In blissful sight

Unwanted freedom

Sam's widow sobbed
Song of broken furniture
Freedom unwanted
Kettle hissing on the stove
Just a moment, then silence

Her Past

Walking by she past

The household of the last

Remembering the past

During the month of fast

Thinking back the past

A special someone from the cast

Someone so very just, but

A relationship that never last

Tomorrow

I wish for you to go on singing

Tears falling in despair I walk

On and on I go, smelling flowers of tomorrow

Dead I am but the sun remains bright

I wish for you to go on singing

Though tomorrow you have to sing alone

Break away break even

But meet we may in the future

In my dreams I see you clearly

Leaving behind a note, forget me

For tomorrow is not a day of sorrow

Remember that tomorrow

Starts a new beginning.

Candle of Life

Life flickers like the light of a candle

It's so brief, gone so fast

Walking towards the end

Thinking, questioning, wondering

What's the purpose of life ?

When asked, will I answer

I know ? I don't know ? or I'm not sure ?

The truth is yours to find out

But my destiny it will be.

Frappuccino

by Yvvone Yee

Cuppa frap in one hand, notebook in the other

Wait and gaze, wait and gaze, still he did not turn up

Scribbling crap the mind conjures one after another

Imagine seeing his sunny self unfold in the cup.

Crime

Crime
by Yvvone Yee

My tears run dry
Like the desert sands of time
After a good cry
Into a cup that brims with wine

Trying to fly
But I just can’t forget the crime
So serious I need to lie
To protect the child of mine

Stop waiting

Stop Waiting
by Yvvone Yee

Time is similar to gold
Gems from age of old
Scarce as of the mole
That have the color of coal

Minutes tick and tick
Seven days in a week
You are growing weak
There's no good to weep

Standing by the lake
Waiting for your date
It is never too late
To buck up now and wake
