Life Through MY EYES

MIS and MIS750 of UiTM had successfully created a big impact on me.  Since beginning of this class, I cannot stop but only excited to find IT / MIS related news.  Yesterday, I read 2 newspaper articles which I found very enlightening and I want to share the joy with all of you.

ARTICLE 1
Title: Single mums pick up ICT know-how, NST, November 7,2011. Page 11

A group of participants (96 single mother and 215 orphans) have been invited to attend one-day workshop on Information and communication technology, organised by University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) in Kuantan.  Many of them are entrepreneur and small business owner. It is a success.  Most of the participants went home with the new knowledge that they can use to explore and prosper their business.  One particular statement from a 50-year old participant that touch my heart is " It is not true that we are not interested in ICT. The reason many of us are not ICT-literate is that we never had the opportunity to learn".  Kudos to UMP and their partners for changing somebody's live. 

ARTICLE 2
Title: Blog of teaching experiences, NST, November 7,2011. Page 13, Life and Times.
Life through my eyes.....this is a title of a book by Muhammad Hafiz Ismail, a teacher in Sekolah Kampung Kenang, a remote orang asli settlement in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.  It's all started when he created a blog (with the same title - despite all odds) as he was new with the remote environment and need to channel his observation and experience.  I read the articles with nothing but amazement to this 25 year old teacher. His `diary' turn to be an award wining blog coveted Prime Minister award at MSC APICTA 2011 recently.  His online reflections not only ramblings about his life in the remote settlement but also a sharing platform for creative teaching methods that he invented to make his classroom a fun learning playground for his students ( he is such a creative teacher). Another feather to his hat, his followers are not just Malaysian but also from Britain, USA, Australia and Africa. You make Malaysia proud Hafiz....Bravo !!!!
