Hi, Assalamualaikaum wbt and Salam Sejahtera.

Here my 1st step in the journey in implementing 21st century environment using digital technology in the classroom in MRSM Pengkalan Chepa. #iniblogcikguaima

During my class in ESEG5033 Technology In Education, Dr. Farhah had introduced to us Padlet as the medium to ease her lesson with us. I felt very excited to share to my students in MRSM Pengkalan Chepa. As an Educator, of course, I have to upgrading my knowledge and explore what is technology tools help to capture my students' interest and stay focus in the class.

YES, EXCITED and IMPRESSED.

This is because these generation are digital natives. Digital natives were children and adults who have grown up using computers/laptops/IPads and other electronic media. All my students are members of Generation Z have used digital technology since their birth and are comfortable with the Internet and social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and etc. (Wikipedia)

Previously, I only using my Microsoft Surface and prepared Slides using Microsoft Powerpoint. Its sound very old fashion and out-dated, right? (^_^) #iniblogcikguaima

Lets' knowing Padlet better!

What is Padlet?

Padlet is a great place for gathering ideas, sharing them and modifying them later. A link to a Padlet can be shared and Padlets can be embedded into webpages. It’s like a living, breathing webpage. You can add links, YouTube videos, files and images to Padlet notes.

In addition, the management also brought 20 units of IPad that can be lend by the teachers and students.

Here I attached the respond I got from one of my students' parent and three of my students. His parent is a digital immigrant which the newcomer to the world of computers and other information technologies.

By the way, I'm 90s babies which also a digital natives.

One characters in transforming learning with 21st Century environments that been applied in Padlet are from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning. But, they still need teachers to learn. My students will follow and copy and some of them improve their understanding via looks at their friends' post in Padlet. They want to do better.
