Getting Smarter...

As far as i remembered during my schooldays, tool that i can consider as the smartest is using the whiteboard and present our presentations in 'Power Point' with the aid of the LCD. That was about 6 years ago. And now, perhaps I could say that we are all moving much more steps ahead in the name of technology and globalization where our presentation nowadays is not only can be online but also interactive at the same time. When it comes to interactive, I guess it is even helpful in teaching and learning process in the classroom as young learners are encouraged to actively involve in the classroom activity with the use of interactive whiteboard. When they are actively involved, it means that they participate and concentrate to the lesson carried out. this could be a good sign in controlling them in class in term of the classroom management.

Moreover, using interactive tools like 'Interactive Whiteboard' aids young learners to understand the concept better especially in learning 'Mathematics and Science' and Grammar in English as well. When using interactive tools, teacher can simply assess the learners' understanding based on the answers given by them in the teacher's presentation. It is quick and easy.

However, in my point of view, it is quite costly to be implemented in all schools in this country. And therefore, not all schools are well-equipped with this 'Interactive whiteboard' yet. As a result, not all children have the opportunity yet to experience lesson in the classroom by using the 'Interactive Whiteboard'. I hope things will change in years ahead so that those children especially in the rural areas will not be left out.
