Looking back

Good afternoon,

Browsing the Photo Gallery,I came across pictures which brought me back to my teaching days.Me as a teacher ,a teacher and  nothing else but a teacher.Confusing?
FYI ....A teacher plays many roles if you have not known.A policeman,a magistrate,a nurse,a cleaner,a jaga and even a witch!
Long ago,even during my formative years,I believe that teachers should go into class with ammunition like a soldier with his artillery...And to be exact ,teachers should be go into the class with  ....teaching aids!Not lenggang kangkung.Ala makyong.
Matilah bosan kalau asyik asyik kapur dan papan hitam sepanjang hayat. Asyik air liur saja sepanjang masa.Asyik buka muka surat ...bla bla bla.
I still remembered those early 70's when I started teaching...so very basic.Mana ada semua gadget gadget ni.So teachers would draw on manila cards...and if you are bestowed with artistic fingers..hmm good for you.
So entering the class would be armed with self drawn pictures and illustrations.
Only when in the 80's.with the advent of computers ,our pictures or illustrations be a bit advanced.Still recall that first ever computer in SK Stella.
Wee... today,there's an explosion of gadgets to be employed when teaching...But are teachers using them ?Are they at the petik of a suis in every classrooom.
I wonder.
Kalau sekolah masih boleh gunakan alatan PPSMI yang berbilion harga dulu... Syabas I say you.


Some of my teaching aids
cutout from newspaper
displayed after a lesson
books and pamphlets ...some from hotel stays
this once thorny plants
the school ground...teaching aids plentiful
ready for a lesson outside and fresh oxygen




So teachers if you find yourself at a loss on how to conduct your lesson....look around!
