Colour up Your Teaching with Own Designed Resources

PBEY 3101. Using and Developing Resources for the ESL Classroom. At first, I thought this course is about using and developing resources such as story books, songs, posters, brochure, etc for the ESL classroom. Using technology to design own resources has never came across my mind before I entered this class for the first time. I gained a lot of knowledge about technology in this class. For instance, websites that can be used to download movie, songs and converting files which some of them I don’t know before.

After listening to the lecture delivered by our lecturer, Puan Foziah Mahmood about using technology to design our own resources for ESL classroom, I realized that we can do many things by using technology. We can be creative to design our own resources which I find very interesting ; for example, audio editing to create a minus one, using movie maker, editing picture and others as our teaching aids for ESL classroom. I love it and began to think that this course is really exciting. Even though I am not so-called ‘techno savvy’, I bet I will learn many practical things in this course especially in using technology.

I agree that teachers need to be inovative, proactive and creative enough to colour up their teaching and learning activities in ESL classroom in order to make learning more fun and attractive.

Our lecturer, Puan Foziah Mahmood is simple, straightforward and she is very technology literate. Even I, myself does not know the largest composition of the latest pendrive in the market compared to her. That was quite embarrassing.
I can’t wait to attend the next class and hope to learn and gain more valuable knowledge all along the way.
