God bless,

Lou YeohExecutive Director

It was a thoughtful - yet busy April at FrogAsia as we siftedthrough the thousands of nominations for the 1BestariNet Teacher Awards 2015 coming to us from all around the country.

We hope you are as excited as we are to find out who the winners are, as we will be revealing them just 2 days before Teachers’ Day. Don’t forget to visit our awards website HERE on the 14th of May!

A huge thank you to everyone who shared your photos with us via the hashtag #tagyourhero (see them HERE) - and it is both inspiring and encouraging to see so many everyday heroes among us. We’ve received so much feedback from those of you who have been touched by the story in the video of how Dr. Nara and his old teacher, Mr. Rajendra beat the odds. You can view that HERE. Heroes truly are closer than you think.

Speaking of heroes, we’ve found some this month in a little corner of Sepang, in a school named SK Taman Seroja. SK Taman’s Seroja’s heroes have helped to bring a simple yet profound change to the entire school: interactivity.

Read on to discover how every student in this school has a chance to spend a lesson with the school’s two Chromelabs. All this is thanks to the hard work done by their tireless Frog Admin, Pn. Noraya Elya Mohamad, her fellow teachers, and to the woman whose vision has inspired and empowered this exceptional school, Headteacher Pn. Hajah Noredzan Abu Bakar.

May is indeed an exciting month for us all. I hope you enjoy this sixth issue of The Lilypad and that you share our stories and ideas.

And finally, Happy Teacher’s Day to all teachers in Malaysia! We want you to know that you are truly appreciated for who you are and all that you do.

Happy

Teachers’ Day

RAHSIAKEJAYAAN

PERLAKSANAANFROG VLE

DI SK TAMAN SEROJA

Secara luaran, SK Taman Seroja kelihatan seperti sekolah kebangsaan biasa.

Tidak banyak perbezaannya cuma sekolah ini nampak lebih ceria daripada sekolah lain

kerana dihias cantik dengan tanaman bunga dan lukisan mural. Namun apa agaknya rahsia di sebalik kejayaan sekolah ini melaksanakan

Frog VLE dengan jayanya? Saya cuba menyingkap apakah kunci kejayaan mereka dengan menemubual Pengetua, Puan Hajah

Noredzan Abu Bakar, Frog Admin Puan-Noraya Elya serta tiga guru lain yang aktif

menggunakan Frog.

Visi Noredzan Naikkan Semangat Guru Lain

Kata Benjamin Franklin, “Jika kita gagal merancang,

kita merancang untuk gagal.” Setuju dengan falsafah tersebut, Noredzan

yakin dengan adanya perancangan teliti teknologi mampu menyumbang

kepada kecemerlangan kurikulum dan kokurikulum di sekolahnya. Tambah

Noredzan, untuk tahun 2015, dia mahu menerapkan penggunaan Frog VLE

dalam kokurikulum dengan menghubungi pengakap dari negara lain

melalui Google Hangouts. Dia juga berhasrat agar semua guru dapat

menyemak pelan pengajaran secara online dan berharap

ia dapat dilaksanakan secepat mungkin.

Untuk melakukan apa sahaja, kita memerlukan

jadual tersusun, bukan? Langkah bijak Cikgu Elya

mewujudkan Jadual Chromelab ternyata memainkan

peranan penting dalam memastikan setiap pelajar

dan guru berpeluang menggunakan Frog dan

teknologi. Setiap hari, pelajar dari empat kelas

memasuki Chromelab untuk belajar subjek berbeza.

Terdapat dua kelas sebelum rehat dan dua kelas

selepas rehat. Oleh itu dalam seminggu, pelajar dari

20 kelas berbeza dapat menggunakan Frog VLE.

A SHOUT OUT TO

SUPERSTARSRecognising changemakers in schools and beyond

The greatest things often start with small beginnings. We know a few schools who are definitely on the right track. Here are our shout outs to some amazing people who are making a difference in Malaysian schools!

SJK(C) Choong WenMs. Tan Shin YeeFor creatively introducing Frog to parents!

The students and parents were able to learn both bylistening to the Ms. Shirni and following instructions on a Frog Site. Ms. Tan shared that the idea behind it was to introduce parents to how their students learn online using Frog!

Both the parents and students enjoyed the workshop and many took photos of their Bento Food Art creations.

For creatively introducing Frog to parents! On a Saturday afternoon, Ms. Tan invited Bento food artist Ms. Shirni from WasabiSays.com to teach parents and their children how to make Bento Food Art.

Clatford Primary School +SK Sultan Hisamuddin

-

Watch the Google Hangout

HERE >

For taking the initiative to find out about a new culture through technology!

The students of the two schools gathered to learn from each other using Frog Connected Classrooms via Google Hangouts!

Each class then spent time getting to know about each other’s beliefs by asking smart and respectful questions.

Well done, teachers and students of Clatford Primary and SK Sultan Hisamuddin for finding great new ways to learn about others’ culture and beliefs from beyond the classroom.

Thanks Ms. Tan, for showing us new and creative ways to introduce

parents and students to Frog!

HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY, CIKGU!

SK Leftenan Adnan’s Frog Administrator, Cikgu Ruzaimie, actively trains teachers to effectively use the Frog VLE platform.

However, he noticed that teachers needed a quick and simple way to start using Frog in their classrooms. To help them, he introduced ‘Minimum Sites’, which is a simple Site template that teachers can quickly adapt and use for teaching and learning.

Cikgu Ruzaimie also has the complete support of Head Teacher En. Subaruddin who welcomes teachers from other schools to learn more about the Frog VLE.

Made Extra Special

“”

No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden

of another.

Celebrating Teachers’ Day isn’t alwaysabout doing something big.

Just by saying “thank you” - you would have already made their day.

But here are some neat ideas and stories to inspire YOU!

ACROSS MALAYSIA!

In Sandakan, Sabah, we look at

SM Sung Siew. Last year, Form 5

students celebrated their teachers by making short videos

recreating funny and inspiring scenes that had happened in class.

Got something to film in your school?

Here in KL, students from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas used to give their class teacher a pineapple to show their appreciation. Today, they give their class teacher canned pineapples!

Does your school name have a gift

hidden inside it?

Made Extra Special

IDEAS FOR YOU!

With some colourful markers, you can make a simple homemade card for your teacher in just 10 minutes. You can even pick some flowers on your way home from school, or look for some in your garden. Wrap them up and bring those beauties to your teachers the next morning!

No matter what they are, teachers always love personal gifts.

Sometimes, the best way to a teacher’s heart is through food! You and your friends can invite your teacher for lunch or dinner. If you have a knack for culinary arts cooking, you can find out what your teacher loves, and cook it for him or her!

Hint: Chocolate bars do not need cooking!

AROUND THE WORLD!

India

Senior students take up the responsibility to tutor younger students to appreciate their teachers.

Not so far away, in Iran

Students offer their teachers flowers to honour the sacred profession.

United States

Many schools celebrate this day with a variety of organised activities to honour their teachers, and everyone is full of gratitude! These celebrations can take a week, but can also continue throughout the entire month of May.

HUJAH

Oleh itu:

SEBAB

KESIMPULAN

Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) yang digantikan dengan Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) menimbulkan reaksi berbeza dari pelajar. Tetapi jika dilihat dari sudut positif, ia melatih kita

berfikir secara kritikal. Kita sudah terbiasa dengan amalan menghafal dan sudah tiba masanya kita melatih minda kita untuk berfikir di luar kotak.

Salah satu proses berfikir secara kritikal adalah mewujudkan hujah untuk memberikan kesimpulan. Kita boleh memberi hujah dan kesimpulan untuk apa sahaja topik atau soalan tetapi untuk mendapat kesimpulan yang tepat, kita perlu mempunyai sebab yang kukuh.

Kapal kelihatan jatuh ke bawah apabila ia berlayar. Maka, permukaan bumi tidak rata.

Hujah tersebut adalah sebab kepada kesimpulan. Secara mudah, hujah tersebut boleh ditulis begini :

Okey, berdasarkan contoh di atas, mari kita lakukan aktiviti menggunakan konsep hujah - sebab - kesimpulan. Baca soalan berikut dan cuba fikirkan satu hujah dan satu kesimpulan.

Jom kita mulakan!“ADAKAH KOMPUTER PERLU MEMPUNYAI EMOSI?”

Don’t mess with Cikgu Disiplin. This teacher has absolutely everything neat and tidy - and keeps everyone informed. This teacher can be intimidating at first, but if you talk to them, you’ll find that Cikgu Disiplin just wants to help everyone learn as much as possible. Cikgu Disiplin does not hesitate to take action when students lack focus and disiplin, but is the first one to champion worthy students for opportunities to learn more and excel in their schools!

This teacher is universally loved! This energetic, vibrant educator brings excitement and laughter to the classroom. Cikgu Rockstar has lots of charisma. A loyal supporter, Cikgu Rockstar is always the first to celebrate student successes, but Cikgu Rockstar has a thoughtful side, too. We see it when they try to understand every student to help them learn better.

Cikgu, WHO ARE YOU?

This kind of teacher makes it look easy. With years of experience, SuperCikgu is really organised, and guides the classroom like a pro. You can’t slip anything past SuperCikgu - they can see everything (even those notes you passed under your desk!). This senior teacher knows what to expect, but is still excited about being a great educator!

This teacher has been teaching for years! If a student has a large family, it’s likely this teacher has taught the every sibling - and sometimes even their parents, back in the day. Solid and dependable, this teacher doesn’t change their lessons much, but everyone goes to them for advice because they rely on their good judgement.

Their lessons feature cool online resources and you can email this teacher if you have any questions: anywhere, anytime!

Teachers, teachers. There are as many different kinds of teachers as there are colours in a rainbow.

So, for Teachers’ Day, we thought it would be fun to show you a few of our favourites!If you look hard, you can find similar sorts of teachers in every school, but in the end,

each teacher is a unique individual. Maybe you’ll find that you’re a combination of many different kinds of teachers. Let’s have a look!

This teacher is about the adventure! Always telling exciting stories in the classroom, this teacher loves taking students on voyages of discovery. This teacher makes time after class to support students and never gives up until everyone understands the lesson.

Apa Kata Cikgu...?

Ketika diperkenalkan dengan Frog VLE, dia membayangkan dirinya mengusung piano

ke dalam Chromelab untuk mengajar salah satu topik subjek Muzik, “Solfa.” Menurut

Suhaily Samsudin atau Cikgu Suhaily, topik “Solfa” memerlukan penggunaan piano agar

pelajar boleh mengenali “pitch” muzik yang betul. Namun, dia gembira tidak kepalang

apabila mengetahui dia boleh memuat naik video rakaman piano dari YouTube. “Segalan-

ya menjadi mudah kerana terdapat banyak bahan media di Frog VLE,” ujarnya.

BRIDGING THE GAP: PARENT, STUDENT& TEACHER

The parent-teacher-student relationshipis incredibly powerful. Get it right and we give our children the best opportunity to succeed. Get it wrong and sadly, the one who will actually suffer the most is notthe teacher nor the parent, it's the student.

When my son started at a new school last year, he

had a troubling time with a teacher. This had the

potential to make settling in difficult for him. On his

third day in school, his class teacher thought she had

heard from another student that he had said

something unacceptable, but she had misunderstood

the situation. She decided to make him stand by her

side during break-time to teach him a lesson. When I

picked him up from school, the tears started to roll

down his face as he left the classroom.

What could I do?

a parent’s perspective...

In a different situation, I also remember an

encounter I had in my first semester as a

newly-qualified teacher. I was teaching a group

of 15 year olds and we were going through some

reading material. One girl was not paying much

attention, so I asked her to pay closer attention

many times - but she just wasn’t interested.

I warned her that she would get a detention but

she simply told me that her father was on the

school committee, and that he ‘would not

approve’. At the end of that week this student

brought in a letter from her father addressed

to the Head of Department. Her father wrote that

[ By Sarah T. ]

24

25

he did not approve of the book we were studying.

He wanted his daughter to be transferred into the

Head of Department’s class. She sat in my class

that Friday afternoon without even looking

at the book; to her, she had won.

At my children’s school, we had a Head Teacher

who would share this vision to parents at the

beginning of every year: “If, as parents, you feel

your child's teacher has failed your child (perhaps

not paid insufficient attention, wrongly punished

or mistreated), however big or small, please bring

it to the school before discussing it further with

the child.

She wanted us to see this - the teacher completely

loses the child’s respect the moment their mother

or father criticises the teacher at home. The child

will not want to do their best for a teacher they

have heard their parents privately criticise.

So, what happened to the girl who didn't want

to be in my class? Well, I'm glad to say my

department head told me he would support

whatever I thought was the best outcome.

I suggested that the girl move classes, for her own

good, and also so that I could continue my good

work with the class. I don’t know if that was the

right decision - but since the student’s father

approached the situation that way, I think we

could not do much except change our paths.

Well, I listened to him without passing comment

and then I asked him to wait outside his classroom

while I had a quick chat with the teacher. I didn't

want him to see if I was angry or upset, I just spoke

calmly.

When his teacher realised the misunderstanding,

she was so upset. We brought my son into the

classroom, and she told him how sorry she was.

I made sure he said 'that's ok' and forgave the

teacher, so that the next day they could start afresh

without feeling uncomfortable.

Then, I thanked the teacher for sorting this out.

Not only was this was the right thing to do, but I

also knew my son would be in this teachers’

classroom for the rest of the year, and I wanted him

to feel comfortable and grow there. Yes, it was

important for my son to have a good relationship

with his teacher; but it was just as important for me

to respect and support his teacher too.

And my own son?

“The child will not want to do their best for a

teacher they have heard their parents privately

criticise.”

Saya telah membenamkan blog sekolah ke dalam Site menggunakan widget benam. Tetapi widget itu tidak memaparkan apa-apa! Apakah puncanya? Saya menggunakan Google Chrome sebagai pelayar.

Hai cikgu, hal ini berlaku kerana skrip sekuriti cikgu tidak disahkan. Jika cikgu berdepan masalah ini lagi, lihat di bahagian kanan petak alamat pelayar cikgu (petak panjang di atas). Cikgu akan nampak ikon seperti penghadang. Jika tidak jumpa, sila rujuk imej di bawah.

Klik ikon itu dan laman baru akan muncul. Di dalam laman itu terdapat butang ‘Load Unsafe Script’. Klik butang iu dan pelayar akan buka semula laman. Site yang cikgu benamkan akan dipaparkan!

Saya telah membuat Site dan saya ingin kongsikannya dengan guru sekolah lain dari daerah berbeza. Bolehkah saya lakukannya? Jika ya, bagaimana untuk melakukannya?

Ya, cikgu boleh kongsikannya. Mula-mula, cikgu perlu hantar Site yang telah siap ke Repositori Site Kementerian Pendidikan. Setelah dimuat naik, ia perlu diluluskan. Cikgu akan menerima emel melalui Yes Email sebaik sahaja ia telah diluluskan.

Setelah Site diluluskan, ia boleh dicari di FrogStore. Berikan nama dan keterangan lanjut Site kepada guru lain supaya mereka boleh mencarinya. Selepas itu, mereka boleh memuat turun Site tersebut untuk digunakan sebagai bahan pengajaran.

Atau, mereka juga boleh mengakses My Library di laman FrogStore untuk mencari Site itu secara manual. Site yang dimuat turun dari FrogStore perlu disalin ke dalam My Sites sebelum digunakan.
