Week 1-Introduction to Early Technologies in Science Education

Salam 1 UM...Hye everyone..On 20th of July it was my first week attending my science class. The class PMEY3104 INTERGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN PRIMARY SCIENCE TEACHING was conducted by Professor Dr. Rohaida Bt Mohd Saat.
    On the first class, we had been explain about the course proforma, the assignment and the course information for this semester. It is noticeable that, we are going to learn about how technology could enhance the students potential in learning science. From my opinion, its really amuse me. This is a new experience for me as back in Maktab, I'm not expected to learn science through ICT. I need to create a blog which I need to reflect what I had been taught, and during the class, I need to use Internet to find sources and evidence before presenting the task given.
    Talking about presentation, on the first class, me and my group had been given a task to discuss and present on the topic Introduction to early technologies in science education-Visualizer. Do you ever heard about visualizer before this? Do you how its work?


"A Visualizer is the most flexible presentation tool of our times. It can pick-up any kind of material (books, photos, 3-dimensional objects etc.) quickly and easily and provides a high resolution output signal for video/data projectors, monitors, interactive whiteboards or videoconferencing systems" (Wolfvision, 2010) click to see the link. 


In other words, visualizer is a brand new Overhead Projector (OHP). Through Visualizer, we could project the image in a 3D form. The pictures above could explain more about the visualizer. 

As you can see, the object were put under the visualizer, and in the larger image projected by it, the image formed was very clear, precise and free from reflection. By using this in the classroom, it will make the teacher's life become more easier. This is because, the teacher just need to project anything related to the learning process and there's no need for them to bring a lot of materials into the classroom. However, this tool is quite expensive and it not everybody could have chance to use it. From my opinion, this tool is very useful if we apply it in the classroom because, the students will understand better and grasp the gist of learning in a meaningful way.
