With technology moving rapidly, as future educators we are obliged to get ourselves familiarized with e-Learning & m-Learning. You’re probably wondering what is e/m-Learning? Why is it not z-Learning or better yet x-Learning? E-Learning is electronic learning and m-Learning is mobile learning. E-Learning is the learning supported by digital electronic tools and media and M-Learning is the e-Learning using mobile devices and wireless transmission. These two concepts are closely related but with some differences – m-Learning is the subset of e-Learning and it is considered to be an extension of e-Learning, but the quality of m-Learning can be delivered with the awareness of special limitations and benefits of mobile devices. The fascinating quality about m-Learning and e-Learning is that both concepts of learning promote active learning in fun and exciting ways. During my first tutorial class, I met Dr Fariza and I was amazed to find out about her great achievements and contributions in the Innovation and Technology field. It was clear as day that my tutorial lecturer is really a sensei in this field. We were introduced with our companion of the semester; Weebly, for the first time. Dr. Fariza had also briefly explained to us about the Proforma and what we were expected to be assessed with throughout this semester. Putting my excitement asides, I did feel an ounce of burden when I found out that we needed to do tasks on Augmented Reality and a video shooting. Seemingly known us as quitters, Dr. Fariza calmed us down and motivated us to not fear of the assessments. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new and just like any other, this course was meant to teach us on the depth use of technology, in a not-so-complex ways. I looovvveee writing! It has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I would always write down the waves of emotions that I would feel and thoughts that could not be explained by the mouth. However, growing old seems to rob off the time and sanity in continuing my once had passion. So incorporating the daily update on Weebly seemed a fun idea to me. Even though I am now just starting to write everything all at once (never be a procrastinator guys, I learned it the hard way haha). With Dr. Fariza, it feels like our knowledge about technology really is the pair of titmice. Whenever Dr. Fariza asked us if we have heard about said app before, for instance, “Have you heard of Padlet before?” everyone automatically went blanked (it was hilarious I would say). This seemed to be an exciting subject to learn, I thought right. I hope that as a future educator, my knowledge on technology strives in a spectrum of what Dr. Fariza has and that in the future, I can contribute and incorporate as much on the use of technology in education. Sincerely, Umairah
