I hope after a 5 day stay at Impiana Hotel KLCC and attended the Education Innovation Fest 2010; I could bring most of the experiences, ideas, thoughts, opinions, knowledge, and so on back to my school and to be implemented there. I write them here to mark the occasion as a fruitful learning experinces not only for me but also for everybody who is passing by my blog. Besides, I also learned the meaning of real friendship and networking.
Here is my presentation for the colloqium:
"Thank you Mr. Haji Rosland bin Hussein, the Deputy Director Educational Planning and Research Division, Ministry of Education, ladies and gentlemen. Before I proceed let me clerify the difference between the 88 smart school and my school. The 88 smart school is the first project a smart school whereby my school is the second batch of the smart school project.
Since 2009, Multimedia Development Corporation and the Ministry of Education have been transforming 15 rural school into smart schools to serve as a benchmark throughout the country. With Ampang Pecah Secondary school in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor and Palong 14 (Felda) Primary school in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan having been chosen to be showcase schools. Each school features a specially customized classroom integrated with devices and solutions designed to facilitate peer learning amongst students and for teachers to expand their traditional roles to that of a guide, mentor and facilitator. The rural showcase schools demonstrate the smart school program is not only for the urban or elite schools. They also serve as ICT hubs for their communities.
Therefore, today I am Shamsida binti Mohd Nor and my colleague, Saemah binti Mat Sahir from Ampang Pecah National Secondary School would like to share our experience in engaging parents and communities in the smart school program which is actually a challenge to us before. Nonetheless, it has become the best practice of our school and last year we have been awarded the Overall Best Smart School of Smart School Program.
Upon reaching this level of excellence, we have put a lot of effort to make the parents and communities got engaging with the program. Beginning with the process of providing a lot of information regarding smart school, followed by sharing some tasks with them and finally got them totally involved in the program. So, let us view some of those activities that our school has done and still being caried out until now"...slide presentation is in place.
