Reflection on Last Lesson

We had our last lesson on 8th May, 2007. My facilitators and class members have provided good feedback and always share each other during lessons and through our blogs. I am sure we can master and apply our learning from this Module to our workplace.

I have aleady made use of my blog to:
- provide reflection indicating new things I have learned,
- discuss changes in my thinking
- provide links to other resources
- invite class members to provide comments and feedback
We have opportunities to visit class members' blogs and provide comment. Blog is a kind of reflective journal and platform for us to develop a portfolio that demonstrates our learning progress.
I was blogging because it contributed to my learning and I enjoyed it.

Lida and I will make use of the coming weeks to get our assignment done. This assignment is useful for both our secondary schools. Although we can't change the world, we can change the attitude of our students and their parents towards poverty. Members of Parent-teacher Association (PTA) wll be invited to join the Cambodia Tour in 2007 Christmas.

In 1998, the Government announced Information Technology for Learning in a New Era: Five-year Strategy – 1998/99 to 2002/03. The Five-year Strategy heralds the beginning of our efforts to integrate information technology into learning and teaching, and transform school education from a largely teacher-centred approach to a more interactive and learner-centred approach. All schools are connected to the Internet; teachers have acquired at least basic skills and embracing IT as a teaching tool; students are using IT and the Internet in project-based learning.

IT for Interactive Learning is one of the Four Key Tasks, and IT skills are one of the nine sets of generic skills. I strongly agree that if IT can be applied effectively in learning and teaching, IT can be a useful tool for students to explore and collect information.
