Good Day Everyone. Today, I am back here again on my Technology and Maths Education Blog to share my this week teaching and leaning process that takes place in Technology and Mathematics Education class. Now, my friends and I are currently in our Week 10 and we are almost towards the end of our current semester.

3. Supporting district-wide

2. Creates a virtual space

3. District-wide
systems connect students in schools in interactive video classrooms.
After that, we also learned about 'Internet Classrooms' and 'Online Classrooms' in detail which emphasizes on how to use the internet in the classrooms when teaching the students in schools. Than, we were given a break of 10 minutes in order to recall back on what we have learned earlier and have some rest at the same time.
Lastly, before the class end, were also learned about the ' Issues In Distance Education'.
The Issues in Distance Education are analyzed in terms of following aspects:
1. Learning Management Systems.
2. Teacher and Student Readiness.
3. Preparation and Classroom Management Time.
4. Copyright Critical Issues for Teachers.
5. Reinventing the Classroom.
In terms of my assignment progress:
- I am doing my weekly reflection journals without any problem and confusion.
- I did not face any major difficulties when doing my assignment.
- However, I just have problem in updating my Blog from time to time due lack of time.
As a conclusion, me and my friends were able to gain some knowledge on 'Distance Education' especially on the issues of implementing it in the education field. This is all from me for this week. I am eagerly waiting to hear some feedback from all of you. Thank you and have a nice day.
