Computer makes my life easier.


As the world is developing, computer becomes very important tool nowadays. The development of technology also brings a new environment in education system. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate technology in the classroom. It is believed that technology will enhance classroom involvement and interaction since the usage of computer can successfully arouse students’ interest.
Computer can be defined as a device that computes, especially a programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations or that assembles, stores, correlates, or otherwise processes information. In teaching and learning process, the usage of computer brings a lot of benefits to teachers and students.
During my teaching practice, I used computer as my teaching aids and it makes my life easier. In my grammar class, I played song or video as my set induction. It is very helpful to arouse students’ interest. Then, I used Microsoft PowerPoint to deliver my lesson to my students. After that, I provided some materials and exercises, which I developed using application software such as word processing. If they have any question regarding my lesson, they can communicate with me using email or online chatting. In addition, I used Microsoft Excel to record my students’ grades of performance.
As a student, I also used computer as my learning tool. I used it as a platform for classroom discussions through asynchronous computer mediated communication such as online forums, live webs conferences and email. Besides, I used word processing to carry out my written assignments and search information from website.
In conclusion, computer makes my life easier since it brings a lot of benefits. It is very useful and helpful for learning and teaching process. I hope one day Malaysia can provide computer for every student in the school.
