PPSMI VI – Day 3 – Impressively Outstanding

So many things happen in past few days – this entry kind of delayed – but I was so impress with the outcome of the 3 days training.
On the third day, this is the last day for 1st batch of teachers attending the PPSMI training.
In the morning, we started with Ms Office 2007 environment introduction. Teachers were so impress with the user friendly of the software compared the previous version they use before.

Cikgu Ong play around with MS PowerPoint using SmartDraw graphics

Guiding one of teachers where to save her files

All teachers concentrating on their laptop

Cikgu Maizion aka Cikgu Stress – doing her presentation – she was so deep in her notebook screen

Cikgu Nafsiah, Cikgu (will recall her name later) and Cikgu LilyAzwa can’t take her eyes of the screen. – I’ve really bad short term memory to remember some of the teachers name – so my apology.
They learn MS Word and MS PowerPoint for preparation on the presentation material.
With a little skill they get from SmartDraw, I kind of scared they would not have enough time to prepare a solid presentation.
But my perception was so wrong. They work so hard to explore many more other features I could not have time shared with them.
With MS Learning Essential topics and the template provided by MOE, all teachers so grateful. Next time they would able to standardise all their teaching materials throughout the whole years.

I’m explaining about the MS Learning Essential shortcut function

All teachers not even planning to go lunch although I’m insist they should have an hour break

Cikgu Ong and Cikgu Yeap trying to integrate MS Learning Essential template with MS PowerPoint

Most of teachers stay on their sits to finish the presentation.

Cikgu Zaki, Cikgu Hazim & Cikgu Sathi doing an animation and slide transition; they manages to do some interesting effect to add some exciting features

Zubir come handy when many teachers keep raising their hand for extra help

Cikgu Lai goes extra miles by using MS Excel to integrate her Bar Chart’s presentation

I was so handful trying to explain the MS Learning Essential advantages

Cikgu Azian looking at many of the templates given by the MOE inside the Resources CD.
After lunch, teachers starts to do their presentation;

Cikgu Yeap & Cikgu Ong come first – they explains how they use SmartDraw in the presentation

On group of teachers having a little difficulty with their connection to the projector

Cikgu Saravanan explaining about his Pie Chart creation using SmartDraw

Two of teachers showing their graphics made using SmartDraw

And this two teachers use the Shape & Space topic in their presentation

One group have some difficulty too with the AV system;

Cikgu Badrul and Cikgu A showing their presentation about Animal topics

The food pyramid created by one of the group – all made by SmartDraw

Cikgu Siti Zubaidah, Cikgu Nafsiah & Cikgu LilyAzwa introduces themselves before started their presentation

And they used English as the topics of the presentation

Cikgu Azian ending the presentation session with her Foods topics planning to use on her Pendidikan Khas classes
One teacher who one of the braves enough to come out alone was Cikgu Maizion – our Cikgu Stress!

At the beginning she having a little difficulty connecting the projector port;

Once she starts her presentation – I was impressed – she do a very impressive graphics of Floor Plan using SmartDraw

She explain how students may identify part of the house plan she have created

And she explain too how she created the floor plan from a basic Floor Plan using SmartDraw symbol

Next, she explain how she use Texture Fill features to create a different type of floor
And everybody voted her presentation as the best presentation that day but to me everybody was impressively outstanding when you look back at the beginning of the first day.
