This week’s class concerned more with the theories and models underpinned the implementation of the technology in our education field which makes it different from the previous class. I find it heavy and quite boring when it comes to the theory and models as it deals with facts. But, what to do, there were times when it comes to theory, and also the application of it. So I think, I just want to enjoy it.

Here, the lecturer also mentioned about our next assignment which is the assignment three. Huhu, what a day! I thought to myself as I have not even completed the given assignment on the video and to my worries, the due date is approaching. I was very sure that this coming assignment will be harder and more complex but I do not make myself worry too much about it. I will try to complete it one by one and I believe that I can do it. For now, I will concentrate on my dynamic video assignment. There were still lots of things need to be done regarding the video.

The models that was taught today was called the ASSURE model. The name has already conjured up its usage in the process of planning the classroom teaching and learning activity. It provides me with the prominent information on how to develop the right resources and materials using the technology to be used with my future primary kids.

Besides that, there was one more model that was introduced which is the ADDIE model. This model concerned more with the aspect in the development of the teaching and learning process starting from the analyzing stage up until the final stage which is the evaluation stage.

In short, I realized that it is not a matter of memorizing the models but the most important is to understand it and to be able to apply it later with the future generation. Learning the facts without applying it is just a waste of time.
