Starting With Assignment 2; 5E

I came across this 5E Model  as it was mention in my classroom during lecture that; I felt it was suit for me to used in my unit plan. The 5E’s is an instructional model based on the constructivist approach to learning. Furthermore,  5 E Model is good guide for teacher; a framework to inform conversations and guide the observation, critique and reflection of classroom practice (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, 2013).  Below are some information about the 5 E;

Technologies play a major in our lives today; I Cant Live Without it

Technology advancing and upgrading very fast these day;  it’s so hard to keep up at times ! Even if it is so hard to keep it, Technologies play a major in our lives today and we cant live without them.

There are some technology that we certainly can not live without it. Especially me;

1. The Hand phone
The Handphone or the advance hand phone which we call smart phone. Everyone will be fully agree to this statement. Who don’t use hand phones nowadays?  Everyone has them, and we use them everywhere, for everything! In this era, we do not just talk on them, we can check e-mail, buy plane tickets, text, and more!

2. The INTERNET 
Ever thought of what was it like when the world before the Internet? Probably a lot more quiet, and a lot smaller because we only can see and read or heard about things there is within our reach.
  Those were the days were using magazine and newspaper  to find information. Besides that, when we need to send a letter; we have to go to the post office to send the letters. And now, we can do everything online. There’s email, online banking, blogging, telecommuting, shopping, social networking, and a lot of time wasting online games.


3. GPS (Global Positioning System)
For me, I am always afraid to drive out on my own because I am afraid that I might lost my way (which it happen most of the time). With GPS, and the new app which is call WAVES getting lost has never been a worry to me. All I need to do is Just type the location and there you go; I will get to the place I want to go easily.

Surely,  there are more technology that we can’t live without. In fact,  we are too dependent on technologies that it plays a very major role in our lives and daily activities.

My Reflection

After going through on Week 5, lecturer had explained further regarding Assignment 2.  I could  clearly gain a better understanding on what  to do in Assignment 2.

Although it feels like Assignment 1 has just been submitted; it  feels like time is flying so fast and I have to get started with assignment 2 .

Besides that from my understanding about Assignment 2  from the study desk and lecturer,

 I realize  that Assignment 2 are consists of 40% and divided into 3 main tasks which are;

1) Learning Journal (5%)-  This is to complete on the learning path activities reflecting on my own understanding of ICTs in the classroom.

2) Unit Plan (30%)- A 3 to 5 week unit plan, then create a task sheet and rubric for one of the assessment in the unit plan. Not more than 8 pages.

3) Essay(5%)- There are 500 words for this justification essay. This is to justify the use of ICT underpin the learning and assessment.

Lastly, this is a reminder for myself  before; I submit the assignment. I should  make sure I have attach the assignment with this  3 things:-
1. Cover page and Rubric
2. Unit Plan (Header with Name and Student ID)
3. Essay (Header with Name and Student ID)
