Week 4: Exploring features & Mind-mapping


"It's a long road, but it's worth it."

 For this week's activity, we are going to proceed teaching our foster sisters and brothers the other features that we didn't manage to teach them last week. We also need to teach them on how to create mind map besides monitoring their Progress chart.

For this week, our session started at MS lab. I wished that they had told us sooner, so that I don't have to bring my laptop to the faculty. Our session started a little late as it took time for the children to come to the lab from block A.


I started off by teaching Adani some stuffs that I forgot to teach her last week. I taught her how to make mind map on the ilearnace web page. She did some editing on her mind map entitled "Kata Nama Khas." For instance, she changed the background image, font color, text alignment and many more. Besides, she also learned how to customize her notes on the web page such as adding sticky notes, inserting videos, using dictionary and others.


The session continued with the assessments done by my foster sister, Adani. I asked her to do the assessments without any help as I had helped her last week. This is because I wanted to see her capability in answering the questions. Throughout the session, I did notice that Adani really need guidance to help her in understanding and answering the questions. The above are her assessments' progress without my help.

Thus, I really hope that she will do better next week. I'll try to help her as much as I can. In addition, I would like to see her active participation for this program in the future.

Week 3: Let's get started!

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." - Zig Zagler The first two weeks were not a bad start. However, an improvement is important in order for all of us to achieve better results. Last week was semester break for UM students, so there's no activity being held. For this week, we reminded our foster sisters and brothers to bring their parents' information such as their e-mail, full name and date of birth to create an account. We were being taught on the features available on the web page beforehand. Thus, it won't be a big problem for us to teach the kids later on. The above is the progress chart that can be obtained from Adani’s account. We started our activity for this week by creating a student account for our foster sisters and brothers. Steps on how to register the account were shown. After creating the account, I decided to give Adani a tour on the site such as showing the notes available, teaching her how to d...

Week 1: Meet and Greet!

"A simple hello could lead to million things." During our first meeting, it was kind of normal to be shy and awkward, but as the time went by, I was glad that everyone became closer. A basic introduction was given by everyone in the CCNA lab. M&M chocolate is used the break the ice as we got to know their personal feelings through the color of chocolate they had. We played musical chair right after. Huda won the game! Even though my foster sister didn't win the game, I was happy to see their enthusiasms while playing the game. We also did the currently famous "panama dance" and played a few other games that were requested by our foster sisters and brothers. About my foster sister, Putri Izz' Adani binti Anuar, she is a standard six student from Sekolah Kebangsaan Satu Sultan Alam Shah. What I managed to get to know about her is that she is one of the triplets in her family. The other two of the triplets who were in other groups look alike while ...

Week 5: The journey goes on

"Live every moment like it's your last." There’s not much to prepare for this week as the activities are just basically doing assessment and playing games in ilearnace.com. Compared to the past few weeks, this week is basically more to doing assessments. Besides, next week is the last week for our program. Our session for this week was at the Cube. Nothing much was going on. We talked about how our weeks went on. Right after that, we started our lessons. I taught her on questions that she can’t answer and those questions that she got wrong. In addition, she still made a few careless mistakes when answering the questions. I hope that she will be more meticulous after this.
