The Modern Way of Teaching and Learning

In those days, the method of learning was a traditional kind. Teacher came to class and the students listened to what the teacher said and pen down the info on a piece of paper.

However a teacher cant spread the knowledge to the students in just one hour period of class. Can the students still learn although they are not in the school but at home?

Due to the advance of internet, teaching and learning becomes easier. Compare to the old boys days, the students know how to use a computer and how to log in to internet. Therefore, new way of teaching and learning should be implemented.

Blog is a kind of individual bulletin or individual newspaper. The author of a blog has an unlimited power to write their thoughts and philosophy so others can read and share any information. It enhance the capability of a person in writing. In other words one can be a reporter by his/her own.

A teacher's blog. In SMI we could find teachers become a blogger and open their own blog. For instance Mr. Peter Khiew, is the author of http://peterkhiew.blogspot.com. Through his blog we can share any info regarding any events in school. The latest in SMI is just by click of a mouse.

A well known Bahasa Melayu teacher in SMI, Cikgu Sidik has just recently open his own blog. His blog is purposely for his own students to gain information and knowledge particularly on Bahasa Melayu subject. Students can copy and download any learning materials and do the homework or exercise at home. Thus, instead of having knowledge in class, Cikgu Sidik's students can receive more knowledge at home.

An SMIOB representative came to school on Friday morning and together with Cikgu Sidik, they gave briefing and presentation to Form 3 students at school hall on how to access to the blog and how to download the files from the blog. A well response from the students.
Thus, it is a meeting between a teacher, an old boy and a student. These 3 combination works together for the sake of the school.

A good news is more teachers in SMI are already have their own blog and more will join the club.

Welcome to the world of bloggers, teacher.
