Einstein once observed, ‘If we all did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves’. After attending the first lecture, this is exactly what I have realised about this course. It is basically an attempt to bring out the best of us in using technology for our profession. It is a platform for us to learn about technology and learn what we are capable of in using the technology. After all, as my friend Fadliyana Fathil has stated in her blog, ‘technology is nothing without people exploiting it.’
Obviously, the word technology scares as much it impresses someone not-so-techno-savvy like me. However, I am aware that change the only that has never changed. One who fails to arm himself to face the change could very well be trounced. In today’s world, knowledge of technology is the key to excel. Its use in effective communication, education and trade is being widely made use of. If we, as teachers, fail to gain these knowledge that our pupils are most likely to have, we shall easily fail in our profession. Through this course, the first assignment of creating a blog itself has taught so mauch as many of us have never ‘blogged’ before.As Sir Winston Churchill said, ‘To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.’ So, come on teachers! It is time we change to be more knowledgeable in technology with this course!
