DESIGNING FOR INTERACTION AND STUDENTS COLLABORATION ( DISC) PRESENTED BY PN. NAZIRAH
The session was very fantastic. All of us were given a chance to design a POSTER. I did not let this golden opportunity go because this is a new exposure to me. I was amazed by the samples shown by Pn. Nazirah which were created by the primary school children. Let’s answer some of the questions posted in the moodle regarding the session.
1.Did you face any problem during the session?
No.
2. What do you think about the instruction given during the session?
The instruction was very clear since I knew what was expected fro us at the end of the session.
3. What improvement can you suggest?
Maybe open the opportunity for us to explore some of the amazing and interesting pictures which we can browse from other sources such as websites rather that limiting the choice of the pictures which can be opted to be used in the poster. After all, we are learning to establish our creativity in this session right? Or, let’s be positive…the limit source of pictures and templates in designing the poster might teach us in becoming very creative to use the limited source in doing anything.
4. How would you carry out the design session with primary level students?
The design session can be carried out with the primary level students. Teacher can divide student into a few groups if the number of students is big. This will help the teachers to monitor the activity easily and assist them whenever they need the help.
Second, Teacher may group the students according to their level of skills in using computer. The advanced group may be grouped together and allow them to do the design on their own with frequent monitoring from the teacher or facilitator. This means that, they can explore all the templates and pictures available from the internet to be used in designing their poster. Meanwhile, the low group may need to be exposed about the basic skill in using power point presentation first. Besides, teacher can provide pictures, templates and samples of the posters so that they will not be lost during the session. It is also possible to group the students with mix ability since the advanced students may scaffold the low students.

howdie doodie my dear housemate...
i see that you have some good ideas regarding the DISC there.. hmmm...first and foremost i agreed that the session was fantastic and as for me ive learned a lot on how to design posters using computer.
about the instruction, i think that they were clear and easy to understand for us...but what if the same instruction was given to the pupils in the primary schools??? i think it might be a little confusing because even in our group we did not know how to start the first move until we ask Pn.Nazirah herself??remember?? the template thingy???huhu So, i totally agree with your idea suggesting that the pupils should be grouped in mix ability. Hence, they could learn from each other and share their thoughts as well as encourage teamwork... remember, cooperative learning is a good method...as long as do it the right way...
yup...thank you for the reply...I also believe that cooperative learning is very good since the children can help each other. Anyway, the session might work well if we group them with various level of students so that they can lear together.
Interesting suggestions to improve DISC. Keep up the good work!
dear Prof Maznah..
