Available Apps for Education

Personally, I think that almost all adults including teens have smartphones nowadays. Smartphones becomes the best friend anybody😄 When we wake up from sleep, we'll look for our phones either to check the message inbox or just to switch off the alarm! isn't it? Imagine we lost our phone for just 24 hours, our life might be miserable😝 That's how close are we to our smartphones. Due to this condition, many  sectors are making use of smartphones which benefits the development in their fields.  

Same goes to education sector, many educators nowadays have started integrate smartphones into teaching and learning. I would like to introduce here a few apps/software  that we can use with smartphone or computer . I got to know all theses through a sharing session among my course mates in UPSI. The first category is video editing software that are Edpuzzle and Playposit. Apart from video editing, both serve us free resources for teaching and learning. Then, we have Stoodle which offers free online textbook and questions bank. In this blog, I did introduce in this blog a video-chat tool  that is called Flipgrid which benefits students in communicating with peers and teachers outside classroom. Recap is another apps that has the same function as Flipgrid. The students' behavior can also be observed and improved by an app called Classdojo.

I believe that most teachers are familiar with Quizziz and know how it works. It basically a platform for teachers' assessments towards students. It is very interesting and able to improve students' engagement in classroom. The other similar pattern apps as Quizziz are  
Polleverywhere, Quiznetic and Quizlet. I have applied Quizlet to my students and they enjoyed the lesson. The students were so excited using the Quizlet and the content were successfully delivered through this method.

Facebook is one of the famous social networks apart from twitter and Instagram. People use facebook to interact with other people, to share information by personal account and facebook pages. In education, Edmodo is an application that play quite similar function as facebook but limited to only teaching and learning stuffs. Teachers may connect with other teachers worldwide by 'hashtagging' on the issue they would like to search for. Apart from that, teachers may also connect to their students for the purpose of giving assignments and discuss the content. I've signed up for Edmodo about 5 years ago,  I did connect with some of my colleagues but never connected to any students. THis is because majority of my students at that time did not have smartphones and easy access to internet. I would like to reuse Edmodo for this new batch and wish me luck! Hope the mission will be accomplished!👊👊

Honestly there are a few from those apps are not yet explored. Please find it yourself if you would like to know more.😀

Electric Potential

Electric Potential, V If Ali wants to move his charge towards the charged sphere on the left, he has to push against the repulsive force between the two spheres (because both are positively charged) Ali is actually doing work (when he push) , Remember W= f.s  ! At the same time, Ali's charge gains electric potential energy . If Ali let go his charge, it will move away from the sphere, it looses electric potential energy. The  electric potential  at a point is telling us the  potential energy of each coulomb of charge . When you move a charge in an electric field its potential energy changes. This is analogous to moving a mass in a gravitational field. Electric potential is a scalar quantity. Thank you, Mdm Ummi Atiah KMPk ~  May it Benefits You ➽💕

Root Mean Square Current (I rms)

Root Mean Square Current As mentioned in the previous post , the value of AC is always changing. Then, how do we measure its value??? We could not use the maximum value of the current Io, because it only occurs at a moment. The average current is ZERO . Hence, one effective value that we could use the root mean square value. Irms . The formula for   Irms is given by: where Io is maximum current. Irms is the value that is equivalent to a steady direct current .  We can investigate this by comparing 2 circuits containing lamp each. circuit 1 uses battery as the source, while circuit 2 uses a.c. supply. AC supply is adjusted so that both lamps are equally bright. At this point, DC and AC supplies are transferring energy to the lamps at the same rate (Power).  By equating the Power of both circuits, we can deduce the equation of  Irms as above. Therefore, the d.c. voltage equals the r.m.s. value of the a.c. voltage.  From the the graph below and th...

Magnetic Field

Magnetic Field, B To define Magnetic field, we start with the word field. Field means a region or space. The magnetic field is defined as a region where the magnetic force can be felt. In other words, a force (repel/attract) can be felt in the region. Bar Magnet We will find that 2 North(N) poles will repel if we bring the poles of two bar magnets together. Same goes to that of 2 South(S) poles. However North and South pole attracts. The strength and direction of the field are represented by lines. Knowing that, the direction of magnetic field is from North to South. Magnetic field is able to be detected by 1) Compass (have been used over 2000 years 2) Hall Probe Applications: Swipe cards, Video tapes & Computer discs -use magnetism to store information. History: In 1819, Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a compass needle was deflected by an electric current in a nearby wire. Remember!! the compass is used to detect any existance of magnetic field. By th...
