Microteaching Lesson 3

First and foremost, I would like to give credits to Teo Si Ni as I had to use her photos for this blog entry.

Microteaching Lesson 3 was conducted by ShiJia, Nur, Khaty, Xi Ling, Angela and Myself.

It was a hectic busy session, I had no time to take photos for my own.

Our topic was on Fruits and Vegetables.

Our theme was Western Garden Party.

First dish was the carrot cake by Shi Jia and Nur. definitely a high fibre dish..but can I say I love the cream cheese frosting more..hehehe..

Second dish was the Garden Veggie Roll by Xi Ling and Kathy. I tasted this during our trial cooking, thought that it tasted good.

Next dish is the Broccoli, Leek and Mushroom Cheese Soup.

And lastly is the fruit trifle, done by myself . =)

Microteaching Lesson 2

Microteaching Lesson 2 was on Meat and Alternatives and it was conducted by Jit, Si Ni, Ain Samad, Yvonne, XiuPing and Priscilla.

First dish was the Baked Sambal Chicken by Jit and Si Ni. Having to use the pre-made sambal, this dish was, to me, an easy dish to make because at home, we make our own sambal. The dish was definitely tasteful.

The second dish was Chakchouka by my sister Ain and Yvonne. The original recipe uses minced beef but due to religious concerns, Ain changed the beef to chicken which was equally delicious. But to my tastebuds, using minced beef is still better. Besides cooking something usually cooked at home in school felt different because of the different equipments used and the working area!

Lastly was the mutton masala dish by Xiuping and Priscilla. I would love to say that I love this dish but it was too sour because of the yoghurt! If not, I would say that it would be a nice dish too!

Microteaching Lesson 1

The first Microteaching lesson was conducted by Hidayah, Farah, Jay, Mavi, Geemah and Meizhu. As the topic was on Rice and Alternatives, we were introduced to high carbo dishes.

First was the Tuna Fish Quiche. This dish was not alien to me. In fact I shared this recipe with Hidayah when she said she was looking for a pastry dish. I was taught of this dish during Student Internship programme and the students then enjoyed this dish so much. I am definitely glad that the recipe went well for her microteaching lesson.

Next was the Cous-cous dish by Jay and Mavi. This dish is definitely new to me. It was interesting when we had to cover the cous cous which was filled with the broth and then leave it to expand before dry frying.

Lastly was the penne pasta by Geemah and Meizhu. I love pasta dishes and so cooking this was a breeze.

It was the first microteaching lesson, therefore there were many flaws brought up by Miss Chin and Miss Soo.

But I believe we learn from each others' mistakes.

Next week will be my sister's microteaching lesson and we will be handling meat!

Reflection - ICT

Technology has definitely become a necessity to us. Everyday, we will check our emails, social-networks and even our blogs. If we, as teachers, are expected to be updated with technology, what more to our students?

Weblogs can be a source of communication between me and my students. Extra information pertaining to my subject can be posted for my students to view from their homes. Questions unanswered during curriculum period can be posted here after I have made my research on it. I can even leave instructions on the weblog.

Interesting videos relevant to the subject can be uploaded to the blogs for the students' further understanding. Websites relevant for students to do their research on can be posted on the blog.

Lastly and most importantly to me, I can do it from home. Technology has made it possible for me to access my weblogs for my students from anywhere. =)
