I LEARN ACE



I Learn Ace is an educational platform made by Malaysian company Mind Tech. Mind Tech is a subsidiary of Sasbadi Holdings Berhad, company found in 1985. Their initial business was publishing. They were, and still are, producing books and other educational material. To diverge on educational online platform,  in this technological age and during 4.0 revolution seems like a logical and sound decision. Their website claims that they are creating solutions that are user-friendly, interactive and fun for teachers and students and also adapted to the future way of teaching.  
I learn Ace offers lessons and different kinds of revisions for 4 subjects (Bahasa Melayu, English, Math and Sciences). On one of the previous classes we were trained about its main functionalities. It proposes thematically arranged lessons for 4th, 5th and 6th year of Malaysian primary school.  It uses classical written lesson methods but also interactive learning through things such as Malaysian songs. It allows users to read lessons, add notes, take quizes or even subjective written tests. It is possible to create mind maps or use one already made by one of the other students.  


As the trend requires today, it rewards users with points, exceptional works earns A, a special kind of praise. A monthly list of the hardest working children with their position and number of earned points is available for all to see. Points permit children to play educational games. Friends from the same school or acquaintances can be found online. It is possible to see their results and what and when they did an activity on I learn Ace. On the contrary,  it is not possible to contact or chat with friends, the main purpose of the platform being learning.


Being a trainer to my young apprentice Aisyah (ha, I feel like a Jedi!) I had an occasion to go through the most functionalities of I learn Ace. I could see its potential and its brilliant sides but also its shortcomings. It is not flawless and there are many things that can be improved but as somebody trying to learn computers, you quickly understand that everything is harder than it seems... Learning is endless and never stops, programs change, methods change and we can just constantly try to catch up with the times. Am I not a good example of it?

AISYAH, WHERE ARE YOU AISYAH ?



No news on Aisyah, my English messages are still unanswered... Here bellow is a picture of the work Aisyah has done the previous month. She had 15 A, I am proud of you girl! I don't think it was all done with me at the school, she must have done it a bit from home. It's good, I think that it is the idea, or it should be. Aisyah should have a habit to do it so that when my project is finished, she continues. I think that she is a bright girl, I think that it could help her in her scholarly pursuit. I hope that she has ambitions and I hope that it will bring her a better tomorrow.

Great picture of Aisyah and me..... . ...and Not so great update on Aisyah When somebody is lucky, we say (in the country of my birth), that his spoon had fallen into a honey pot. That is what I thought when Fahad accepted to swap my boy for his girl. Not to fall into stereotypes (and just in case I get accused of sexism, I have both, a boy and a girl, which gives me a tiny authority  (in my eyes  😉😉) to talk about the subject with some inside knowledge...(hahahaa...this is not to be taken too seriously) ),  boys and girls ARE different! In general, one of the things is, that girls are better with studying (again, don't get me wrong, I am not saying girls are being smarter than boys and heck, I am now in a school that has male majority and there are some absolutely brilliant boys ...) but at some age girls are calmer and more study inclined ( you can check statistics, in quite a few countries number of girls in  universities have exceeded the nu...

A bumpy road to success

A bumpy road to success!  Rural African rough road (but what a beauty surrounds it if one cares to notice!)  Hahaha... yes, I wish it would be that easy!  After the first euphoria because Aisyah's mom finally replied, things got calmer. I have sent some more messages, asking and demanding, in the same time, that Aisyah does some work (trying not to be too laid-back and totally ignored, but then again,  I can only push it just so far without the family closing themselves off). My inner psychologist was plotting influence while kind of flattering and passing the message that the family is in control... And then, there is Aisyah, I really do believe that education can help anyone (and even if it wouldn't,  it is the right way to go) and that this effort would bring a benefit for Aisyah. I started getting a bit lost in-between the messages I have sent and replies I have received, frantically switching from Ajwad's whatsApp to Miss Nur Zalia's me...
