If last week we were introduced to the theories and models, this week the lecturer showed us some useful educational websites which can be integrated with the future kids in the classroom. With the globalization that took place all over the world, teachers have to admit that the education field also needs a change. The information delivered should always be up to date, interesting and also applicable and suitable with the current state of the world. So, with the implementation of these websites, all these problems will be able to be resolved by the teacher. Even if it is not fully resolved, at least this will be able to make the life of a teacher easier and calm.

The ‘Cikgu.net, and the ‘eduwebtv’ are among these kind of websites. I found out that one of the prominent features that capture my attention was that it is of Malaysian context which means that teachers can use it as it is in the classroom without having to adapt it to the suitability of the countries context. This saves a lot of time and energy as we knew that, apart from teaching, teachers were burdened with lots of other extra tasks and works at school. Besides that, the use of Malaysian context in the websites makes it practical to be used with the kids. The exposure to the real life is the most important aspects for the pupils as they are going to face it later in their life. Apart from that, games are provided in these websites which enable the pupils to enjoy while at the same time they gain something. This will be able to alleviate the boredom ways of formal ways of education.

In a nutshell, the introduction to these websites was really an eye opener for me as a future teacher to be. It really gives me insights and new ideas on the teaching resources that are available outside to be used in my future classroom.
