Hi everyone, I would like to share my views about ICT and the first lesson last week.To tell you the truth I am not a person who is IT savvy and I thought I would rather find it hard to understand this module as it sounded like some IT module.But I found that the first lesson was rather interesting and engaging.

The first lesson had gave me a clear idea on what this module is all about and I feel that this module will equip me with relevant skills with regards to IT that will be very handy to me in the future when I am a teacher.I have also understood that this module allows me to relate how ICT can be used to make learning more engaging.

I got familiarised to MOE's masterplan 3 which clearly emphasised the importance of incorporating ICT in the curriculum.I personally welcome MOE's masterplan 3 as it would facilitate learning and I feel that it will arouse the students interest as it directs a different way to learning as opposed to the traditional way.Additionally, MOE'S masterplan 3 encourages student centered learning.It will also mould our students as independent learners.

In conclusion,I feel that this course will be useful in introducing the pedagogical approaches of using ICT to make learning engaging.
