All the best!


Luckily, I had finished my SMARTBOARD assignment. Two of my group members, Dila, Kumi and myself had shown each others’ work on Tuesday, the day before our technology class. We commented on each others’ work and suggested some ideas to improve our product. Honestly, I love this kind of ‘working together concept’ where we cooperate and help each other that makes us work as a team. Indirectly, we had developed soft skill such as collaboration, communication, mutual respect and leadership while working together as a group. Thank you Kumi, Dila, Hafiz, Kak Niza and Kak Hidayah.

In this week’s class, we were required to sit in our group and decide on which product to be chosen and presented in front of the classroom. At first, Dila and I had suggested to choose Kumi’s product to be presented in front of the classroom because we thought that her product was the best among us. She had some videos in her SMARTBOARD activities which was something extra compared to the others..but then, the other group members decided to choose my product to be presented in front of the classroom because they thought mine was attractive. I was quite surprised because I believed that my SMARTBOARD activities were not that great and the activities were simple that involves dragging, matching and writing on the SMARTBOARD. However, I agreed to present the activities to class as my group members told me so.

Nonetheless, after I heard Ma’am mentioned that we need to choose the best among the best, I was wondering again. I whole heartedly believe that my activities were not the best among the best because I think Kumi’s activities deserved to be chosen for the presentation since her activities were more creative and apply more SMARTBOARD application like spotting things using magic pen on the SMARTBOARD. So, finally, we decided to choose Kumi’s activities to be presented in front of the classroom.

While watching other groups presenting, certain groups had been assigned to look into certain aspects such as the positive points, negative points and ways to improve it. After watching the presentations by a few groups, I think that Kumi’s activities were the best among the others which was presented today. Congratulation, Kumi!
Personally, I think the presentation session of SMARTBOARD activities was very helpful in giving us ideas about the criteria to be focused on in designing the activities such as content, creativity (originality and types of activities), justification (theories) and presentation (layout, audio, video, font, font size, colour and pictures). After watching the presentations and discussing comments about it, I realized that I need to add some ‘spices’ on my SMARTBOARD activities to make it more attractive. So, to all my group members and me myself, I wish you all the best!
