Master of Teaching and Learning Experience

MTL was a totally awesome experience for me. It changes the way I think about my students’ learning and my work as a teacher. Since taking up the challenge, I have experienced a very steep learning curve, especially where blended learning is concerned. Looking back, I can say that I have enjoyed the variety of learning experiences that each new course brought.   Add caption Thus, I would strongly recommend MTL to all aspiring teachers and teachers who desire to update themselves on the latest and best practices in education. I would like to thank all the esteemed lecturers, Dr. Logen Pooniah, Dr. C.H.Lim, Dr. Ratna, Dr. Malachi. Dr. Rosie Martin and Dr. Rajan, my mentor, Ms. Arlene Corrigan and my coursemates, for this remarkable journey. Thank you for the inspiration. You are all unforgettable! I am certainly inspired to move out of my comfort zone and am ready to do some things differently. "Your life begins to change when you change something you do everyday," says John Maxwell What I took away from this experience :- - increased confidence as an educator - rediscover the learning theories - a better understanding of curriculum and all it entails - a better understanding of the principles of teaching and learning - a better idea of current and best practises in teaching and learning - increased technological know-how - a better understanding of the principles and practise of assessment - discover the value of alternative assessment - exposure to research methodology - discover what it means to be a reflective teacher - a better understanding of global issues in education - rediscover the joys of teaching - rediscover the joys of learning One of the most rewarding outcomes from this experience is when my students tell me that I inspire them to be all that they can be. The following is one such comment from one of my students. Vincent Thong Ms Joanne Ho i respect you man. Did not know you were studying and teaching at the same time... I am motivated now. COME AT ME DATA MANAGEMENT!
