Innovative Lesson

Teachers always want the best for their students. They plan their lesson so that it will go smoothly and most importantly, majority of the students able to understand what is conveyed by the teacher. A few chapters in all subject typically require different approach so that students can easily grasp the content. In order to produce an effective lesson, I believe that all teachers need to to work hard for that in doing some innovation in teaching and learning, unless the lesson will be carried out in same way as always👀. From my almost 9 years experience of teaching, I admit that I could not have innovation lesson every time I teach, it is not easy! 😜 but possible. However, since the forth year of teaching, I had promised myself that I will do AT LEAST one innovation lesson in a week and I did it! It is better that nothing right? During the early years of teaching, I did not do much innovation in classroom as I focused more on strengthening the content. I just read books and searched internet for resources of content.

What prompted me to do this was due to a talk by an excellent teacher (Guru Cemerlang) who have implemented even a very simple innovation during learning and his students enjoyed his lesson moreover he had successfully upgraded the results of his students in Physics. The innovation does not necessarily producing a teaching aid physically but it can be as simple as editing an exiting video to suit the content that gives high impact to students' learning. I still remember the modified 'ultraman video clip' that has been shown in this course😄. This creative innovation is really interesting for us educators and of course for the students. He also showed the other video that was cut-edited from an action movie and asked us to discuss  about the motion of the few vehicles in the video, relating the concept of velocity, acceleration, time and displacement. The audience in this course are teachers in majority and we were so excited with this type of approach in teaching and learning. Imagine our students' reaction!😎😎

An innovative lesson as I need an amount of time for the preparation. Frankly, I ever spent two whole days to plan my one-hour-lesson properly, yes! just for only 1 lesson! 😳 Could not imagine how I'm going to have properly innovated lesson for all classes. This is why, for the moment, I try to discipline on 1 week 1 innovation approach. Maybe, as time goes by, my skills in teaching being upgraded, then I can have more. Here is a video of an example of innovative lesson that has been conducted by myself. In this lesson, students do experiment as an approach in order to prove the concept of exponential curve of radioactive decay. Apart from that, I applied Quizlet as a tool in order to engage students with the lesson.
Thank you Kids!!

Concept Mapping

Salam 'alaik,  InshaAllah, today I would like to share about what I've been learning from my Master course that is CONCEPT MAPPING. We did it practically during the lesson, not just learning it by theory. This hands on experience really intrigued me.  Concept Mapping is a verb.  It is  a way to connect the knowledge of certain topics based on its concepts while Concept Map is a noun where  it is a type of graphic organizer used to help students organize and represent knowledge of a subject.  Concept maps  begin with a main idea (or c oncept ) and then branch out to show how that the ideas are connected to the other ideas. In order to link the concepts, we need to start a sentence by a quantity and end it also by a quantity.  Our lecturer, Dr NurulHuda had introduced a website  where we able to apply doing concept map. We practiced using this software by applying 2 topics. The first concept map is for the States of Matter and the second one is for the Trend in Educationa

Smart Classroom

Assalamualaikum & Hi everyone! The first time I enter a classroom for my technology & innovation in physics course in university, it intrigued  me. The classroom is facilitated with devices which hence called as smart classroom. Here I attach several snaps of the view of it, also featuring my lovely course mates & lecturer :) Smart Wall , Smart TV & Dr Nurul Smart Wall & Smart TV + Farah & me 💙 Smart Wall & Smart TV + Roza(from Aceh) & me 💙 Smart Classroom + K. Kamalia & Mira 💙 The idea of this classroom beautiful!The walls are painted at particular area which provides unlimited spaces for teachers to scribble on. It reminds me of how I always advise my students to have separate answer sheet every time they work on the worksheet. They are forbidden to write their answer or ideas for the answer near the question as they kind of limit their thoughts.  My reason is always be that the more space we have, the greater the idea we

Capacitors

Capacitors Capacito r is a device that is normally used in electrical appliances such as radios, computers and TV. There are many different types(looks) of capacitors as shown below: The function of the capacitor is to store electrical charges. Remember , we have 2 types of charges ( positive and negative). Once the capacitor has stored the charge, it can release electrical energy. I give you an example: The flash unit of camera also uses a capacitor. The fact that the camera can give out the flash, it is actually releasing the energy from the charge that is stored in the capacitor. When we measure something , it must has its own quantity and unit. For example, (i) the length (quantity) of a ruler --> the unit is metre (ii) the mass  (quantity) of a ball --> the unit is  kg Same goes to the capacitor, the quantity measured by the capacitor is capacitance and its unit is Farad.  Scientifically, the meaning of capacitance is the ratio of the amount of  charge
