2nd training - 11th June 2009
The second training was held at the same place. It started at 10am. Hafizah Saman turned up first followed by Haniza Rais and Siti Rauzani Mohd Hafizuddin.
Although there were only 3 participants, I was really grateful since this time around they are able to participate in the online forum. I forgot one thing though, to give them the printed user guide.
Training - 29th May 2009
The training was supposed to start at 3.00pm. Syed was punctual, he came at 2.50pm. Then followed by Suhaila, Zulmazlina, Sara, Khaireen, Datin Noorul Huda and Fatinah.
The objectives of the training were for the participants to create account to my website www.nurulhana.com, update their profile, upload their picture, participate in online forum, write reflection in blogs available in moodle and chat online. I wish they could participate in at least one forum, but there wasn't enough time. I was only able to train them on how to start a discussion and reply to a discussion thread. No time to write reflection in blogs either.
Nevertheless, I was really grateful that 7 teachers turned up. Alhamdulillah.
