INTRODUCTION

SSI3013 Information and Technology in Science, introduce us about the technology in education especially for science subject that requires technology use in the learning process. So, this subject is very helpful to expose to us how to use technology as teaching tools when we become  real teacher at school. There are several assignments that provided to us which are Smart School, Data Logger, Stella Simulation, Graphic Design, Video Editing and E-Portfolio.

SMART SCHOOL

Smart School is a technology based teaching learning institution that prepares children for the information age. To achieve smart school educational objectives, these teaching and learning concepts should be covered: curricular, pedagogy, assessment and teaching-learning materials. In smart school, teachers use various tools that relate to technologies to teach their students for example photos, audio, slides and so on. Unlike traditional, basically, only use a textbook as a tool and not really use technology in the learning process. Actually, this is the first assignment that I get from our lecturer which we have to do in the group (5 members) and will present during online classes.

DATA LOGGER

A data logger or data recorder is an electronic device or a computer program that continuously records data over time in relation to the location either using a built-in instrument or through an externally interfaced one. Data logger consists of sensor which will transfer all the data into a computer for analysis and it is the best way to use in the learning process. By using data logger, it will make all the experiment become simple and easily repeatable. This will give new experience to the students to feel like scientists and can changes their experiment depend on result that they collected and record. This assignment also has done in a group and present together during an online class.

STELLA SIMULATION

Stella actually is a modeling software which consists of the diagram, charts, and uses animation to help visual learners discover the relationship between variables and helps simplify model building. In Stella simulation, it provides an introduction about the experiment and instruction how to run the simulation. So, it will help students to complete their experiments without any problem. Stella simulation can improve their understanding of lessons and improve their skills which are critical thinking skills, communication skills and exercise student’s collaborative and communication skills. Actually, this is the last assignment that needs to do it in a group and present in online classes.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Graphic design is the first individual assignment for this subject. In this assignment, I have to edit my header blog creatively by using pictures of scenery in my hometown. This header needs to edit by using Adobe Photoshop software that needs to install from Google. The way to edit this header must follow as shows by the lecturer.

VIDEO EDITING

For this assignment, it required a few pictures until reach 30 second in the video. Every scene that already records by using a smartphone has to edit in any application such as the Kinemaster application. During editing, a few elements have to put in the video for example the title of the video, a caption on every scene, transition and credit. This assignment also is an individual task after the design graphic assignment.

E-PORTFOLIO BLOG

All the assignments are uploaded to the blog. The blog is creatively design by individual and all the assignment have been arranged properly in this blog.

Thank you.
