| New layout for Blogger.com |
Blogger.com has come out with a new layout. I haven't update my blog for quite a long time. Time factor is the best reason for that. Knowing the nature of being a teacher in Malaysia, further explanation is not needed. My comment on the new layout and style is "IT IS CLEANER" and I need time to explore the new features.

| Tumblr.com |
While Blogger.com is offering a new image. I also am exploring a new type of blog which I can access via my Blackberry in easy and simple way. Blogger does not have mobile version for Blackberry so far. So, when I am not in front of my lappy, TUMBLR is my preference. My TUMBLR can be accessed here

Of defragmenting the fragments
It is time to revisit this blog. By doing this I am actually taking a break (a short break) from the fragments of data that I have collected for my study. The project paper has to be submitted in two weeks time. It was really hard to piece them together and to make meaningful discussion from them. So, this short break allows me to refresh my mind like defragmenting a hard disk.
The study I conducted was a qualitative study. Why it was the choice? The answer is when I came across this verse in the Holy Quran... which means
In The Name of Allah The Most Compassionate and The Most Merciful
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).(49:13)
This verse encourages me to know the students more. Students were not born with same qualities, attitudes and needs. After I had taken a naturalistic enquiry class, I started to love this way of study in observing humans. Based on the experience I had, this type of study was easy to conduct but interpreting the data was extremely hard. I would say ... like eating sambal belacan! It is extremely hot but it is nice to eat. The picture below are something I would share how the process of interpreting the data looks like.
The coding process
Coding --> recoding --> coding --> recoding arghhhh...

I call it... The Persbook ;-)
In the beginning...
The PERSBOOK (personal book) is the idea to make writing become nice personal thing to share. The idea is based on my observation which I found students like something that looks personal. I have discovered how some students were very fond of their school bags. They decorated their bags with stickers and key chains. This has given me ideas to make traditional writing as students' personal belonging and for that they would have the feeling of ownership. This ownership creates competition. A competition to share their best feelings, their best favourites or even their best ideas.
Sharing is another key point here. The most popular social network has given me ideas on having shared writing. The basic concept of sharing statuses in the Facebook has given me this idea of shared writing.
Purpose...
The purpose of this activity is to create fun writing environment. The traditional writing; using exercise books for me is very dull and dry. I even fell asleep sometimes while marking students' writing.
Another purpose is to develop students writing skill which from generating ideas by having colourful mind maps, followed by single paragraph writing and ended by an essay.
A brief procedure...
For generating ideas, teacher asks students to get a picture from newspapers that they like most (e.g. picture of famous personalities). Then, from that picture, students provide some words that associated to that picture.
For paragraph writing, teacher asks the students to write few sentences that describe the picture. The words associated must be used. The picture can be the topic sentence and the associated words can be used in the supporting details.
To have FUN!, when the writing task (plus the decorations) is completed, ask them to get a friend to comment on their 'masterpiece!'. Teacher's comment follows their friend's comment.
