The other 3 groups’ presentation:


Rafidah’s group: Saving Mother Earth (Google site)









Faiz’s group: Animal Extinction (Blog)






Syafiq’s group: The Phases of Moon (Blog)






Done with the presentation. Now, I would like to give my opinions on the use of Google sites as a platform in order to enhance teaching and learning of science.

1- The integration of technology such as Google sites in teaching and learning of science has the potential to arouse students’ interest and indirectly, engage them in learning science subject.

2- Google sites could assist teacher in teaching and give students a better understanding in learning science. This is especially when they have to deal with certain concepts that are difficult to be explained verbally. For example, using Google sites could help students to understand the Solar System and its constituents. This is because this platform provides a space for teacher to upload videos which make students easier to visualise and increase their understanding.

3- This kind of technology however has limitation. The internet facility should be considered in order to use it for teaching and learning. Therefore, it is best to save it into CDs if teachers face this situation.


Before and after the introduction of ADDIE model:

At first, I thought that designing and producing instructional material is just about using various teaching materials for teaching science. I don’t know that many aspects should be taken into consideration when designing this teaching materials and it also needs a good planning.

Through the introduction of ADDIE model;

I realize that it must start with a good instructional planning. The earliest phase needs us to analyze and come out with a concept map.

The second phase which is Design Phase requires us to design and visualise how the material will be presented.

The third phase of ADDIE model is Development phase. This is where the materials are developed and produced as a solid product.

These phases are fundamental in order to have a systematic planning and to produce a teaching material with good quality.


This semester really gives me ideas on how the teaching and learning of science subject could be carried out in a more creative and interesting way. it also gives me ideas on how increase teaching and learning through the integration of technology. Thank you Prof for the knowledge and the values integrated in the lectures.
