REFLECTION WEEK 5

      

      Days went so fast and this week is the 5^th week of lecture. For educational technology subject, each lecture that I have attended really helped me in improving my ICT skills through the completion of tasks that were given to us. Not only being able to build up knowledge on ICT skills but I also learned about social skills (communication skills), cooperation skills and so on. Even though attending lectures are extremely tiring for me but there were many benefits that I have gained through them.

        For educational technology lecture, this week our topic was on CASPER Model. Basically, from my own understanding, this model is a method or skills that can be applied in creating an interesting PowerPoint presentation. As we all know, we as teachers should be able to utilize all these skills because nowadays the education world has changed which require the teachers to incorporate ICT in their teaching. So, in order to become an effective English teacher, we have to comply all the requirements and start to build up knowledge on those areas. CASPER is an acronym as follow :-

C-Contrast  

A-Alignment

S-Simplicity

P-Proximity

E-Emphasis

R-Repetition

      After Mr. Norsarihan has explained to us about this model, I managed to have a good grasp about the ways or methods on how to make interesting PowerPoint presentations. All this while, I did not realize about all these things because we were not being exposed to these techniques. Based on this model, when we create a PowerPoint presentation, we should not put too many words in our slides as it will create a distraction to the readers for example they might get bored with our presentation since they might spend their time by reading the slides instead of listening to our presentation. Not only that, we should not also put too many pictures or graphics in one slide as it will look messy and the message or information would not be delivered effectively to the readers. Besides that, if we want to emphasize certain words or phrases, we should bold them so that the readers would get to know or understand the main ideas of our presentation.

Last but not least, I wish everyone happy weekend!!Happy Learning!! And happy working on your assignments!!
