This Month’s Picks Teachers: Get Inspired Students: Gear Up for Success
Teh Tarik Time Get your Frog Questions Answered!
1BestariNet Teachers’ Awards 2015 Find out who receives each award this Teachers’ Day!
FEATURED Pn Hajah Noredzan Abu Bakar Pn Noraya Elya Mohamad Pn Suhaily Samsudin Pn Aznita Saiful Pn Rohani Mohamed
It was a thoughtful - yet busy April at FrogAsia as we sifted through the thousands of nominations for the 1BestariNet Teacher Awards 2015 coming to us from all around the country. We hope you are as excited as we are to find out who the winners are, as we will be revealing them just 2 days before Teachers’ Day. Don’t forget to visit our awards website HERE on the 14th of May! A huge thank you to everyone who shared your photos with us via the hashtag #tagyourhero (see them HERE) - and it is both inspiring and encouraging to see so many everyday heroes among us. We’ve received so much feedback from those of you who have been touched by the story in the video of how Dr. Nara and his old teacher, Mr. Rajendra beat the odds. You can view that HERE. Heroes truly are closer than you think. Speaking of heroes, we’ve found some this month in a little corner of Sepang, in a school named SK Taman Seroja. SK Taman’s Seroja’s heroes have helped to bring a simple yet profound change to the entire school: interactivity. Read on to discover how every student in this school has a chance to spend a lesson with the school’s two Chromelabs. All this is thanks to the hard work done by their tireless Frog Admin, Pn. Noraya Elya Mohamad, her fellow teachers, and to the woman whose vision has inspired and empowered this exceptional school, Headteacher Pn. Hajah Noredzan Abu Bakar. May is indeed an exciting month for us all. I hope you enjoy this sixth issue of The Lilypad and that you share our stories and ideas. And finally, Happy Teacher’s Day to all teachers in Malaysia! We want you to know that you are truly appreciated for who you are and all that you do.
God bless,

SISTE M JADUAL MINGGUAN Penjadualan Tersusun Beri Manfaat Kepada Semua
Untuk melakukan apa sahaja, kita memerlukan jadual tersusun, bukan? Langkah bijak Cikgu Elya
mewujudkan Jadual Chromelab ternyata memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan setiap pelajar dan guru berpeluang menggunakan Frog dan teknologi. Setiap hari, pelajar dari empat kelas memasuki Chromelab untuk belajar subjek berbeza. Terdapat dua kelas sebelum rehat dan dua kelas selepas rehat. Oleh itu dalam seminggu, pelajar dari

20 kelas berbeza dapat menggunakan Frog VLE.

BENGKEL LATIHAN INTENSIF Sesi Tiga Jam Untuk Guru & Ibu Bapa

bengkel latihan untuk guru dan ibu bapa. Bengkel untuk guru diadakan selepas waktu sekolah, pada hujung minggu dan ketika musim cuti manakala bengkel untuk ibu bapa diadakan setiap hari Sabtu. Berlangsung selama tiga jam, bengkel itu menerangkan tentang penggunaan Frog VLE, cara mendaftar ID dan banyak lagi. Ini secara tidak langsung meningkatkan penglibatan ibu bapa.

A SHOUT OUT TO
SUPERSTARS
Recognising changemakers in schools and beyond
The greatest things often start with small beginnings. We know a few schools who are definitely on the right track. Here are our shout outs to some amazing people who are making a difference in Malaysian schools!
Clatford Primary School + SK Sultan Hisamuddin For taking the initiative to find out about a new culture through technology! The students of the two schools gathered to learn from each other using Frog Connected Classrooms via Google Hangouts! Each class then spent time getting to know about each other’s beliefs by asking smart and respectful questions.
SJK(C) Choong Wen Ms. Tan Shin Yee For creatively introducing Frog to parents! For creatively introducing Frog to parents! On a Saturday afternoon, Ms. Tan invited Bento food artist Ms. Shirni from WasabiSays.com to teach parents and their children how to make Bento Food Art. The students and parents were able to learn both by listening to the Ms. Shirni and following instructions on a Frog Site. Ms. Tan shared that the idea behind it was to introduce parents to how their students learn online using Frog! Both the parents and students enjoyed the workshop and many took photos of their Bento Food Art creations. 10
Well done, teachers and students of Clatford Primary and SK Sultan Hisamuddin for finding great new ways to learn about others’ culture and beliefs from beyond the classroom.

Thanks Ms. Tan, for showing us new and creative ways to introduce parents and students to Frog!
HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY, CIKGU!
SK Leftenan Adnan Cikgu Ruzaimie Head Teacher En. Sabaruddin For being so supportive and innovative while training teachers to use Frog! SK Leftenan Adnan’s Frog Administrator, Cikgu Ruzaimie, actively trains teachers to effectively use the Frog VLE platform. However, he noticed that teachers needed a quick and simple way to start using Frog in their classrooms. To help them, he introduced ‘Minimum Sites’, which is a simple Site template that teachers can quickly adapt and use for teaching and learning. Cikgu Ruzaimie also has the complete support of Head Teacher En. Subaruddin who welcomes teachers from other schools to learn more about the Frog VLE.
We love teachers who go the extra mile to teach others!

Celebrating Teachers’ Day isn’t always about doing something big.
Just by saying “thank you” you would have already made their day. But here are some neat ideas and stories to inspire YOU!
ACROSS MALAYSIA! In Sandakan, Sabah, we look at SM Sung Siew. Last year, Form 5 students celebrated their teachers by making short videos recreating funny and inspiring scenes that had happened in class.
Got something to film in your school? Here in KL, students from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas used to give their class teacher a pineapple to show their appreciation. Today, they give their class teacher canned pineapples!

IDEAS FOR YOU! With some colourful markers, you can make a simple homemade card for your teacher in just 10 minutes. You can even pick some flowers on your way home from school, or look for some in your garden. Wrap them up and bring those beauties to your teachers the next morning!
No matter what they are, teachers always love personal gifts. Sometimes, the best way to a teacher’s heart is through food! You and your friends can invite your teacher for lunch or dinner. If you have a knack for culinary arts cooking, you can find out what your teacher loves, and cook it for him or her!
Hint: Chocolate bars do not need cooking!
AROUND THE WORLD! India Senior students take up the responsibility to tutor younger students to appreciate their teachers.
Not so far away, in Iran Students offer their teachers flowers to honour the sacred profession.
United States Many schools celebrate this day with a variety of organised activities to honour their teachers, and everyone is full of gratitude! These celebrations can take a week, but can also continue throughout the entire month of May.

FOKUS PT3 [ Oleh Ramziah Razak ]
Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) yang digantikan dengan Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) menimbulkan reaksi berbeza dari pelajar. Tetapi jika dilihat dari sudut positif, ia melatih kita berďŹ kir secara kritikal. Kita sudah terbiasa dengan amalan menghafal dan sudah tiba masanya kita melatih minda kita untuk berďŹ kir di luar kotak. Salah satu proses berďŹ kir secara kritikal adalah mewujudkan hujah untuk memberikan kesimpulan. Kita boleh memberi hujah dan kesimpulan untuk apa sahaja topik atau soalan tetapi untuk mendapat kesimpulan yang tepat, kita perlu mempunyai sebab yang kukuh.
Oleh itu: HUJAH
SEBAB
KESIMPULAN 16
Images from : http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/
Beberapa ratus tahun dahulu, semua orang mempercayai bumi ini berbentuk rata. Namun, terdapat pemerhatian yang mengelirukan manusia. Satu pemerhatian mendapati, kapal yang berlayar menjauhi daratan kelihatan semakin jatuh ke bawah ke dalam air, seolah-olah ia akan tenggelam.
HUJAH
Kapal kelihatan jatuh ke bawah apabila ia berlayar. Maka, permukaan bumi tidak rata.
Hujah tersebut adalah sebab kepada kesimpulan. Secara mudah, hujah tersebut boleh ditulis begini :
SEBAB Kapal kelihatan jatuh ke bawah ketika berlayar maka KESIMPULAN Permukaan bumi tidak rata Okey, berdasarkan contoh di atas, mari kita lakukan aktiviti menggunakan konsep hujah - sebab - kesimpulan. Baca soalan berikut dan cuba ďŹ kirkan satu hujah dan satu kesimpulan.
Jom kita mulakan! “ADAKAH KOMPUTER PERLU MEMPUNYAI EMOSI?� 17
[ Illustrated by Victor Lau ]
Cikgu, WHO ARE YOU? CIKGU DISIPLIN
Don’t mess with Cikgu Disiplin. This teacher has absolutely everything neat and tidy - and keeps everyone informed. This teacher can be intimidating at first, but if you talk to them, you’ll find that Cikgu Disiplin just wants to help everyone learn as much as possible. Cikgu Disiplin does not hesitate to take action when students lack focus and disiplin, but is the first one to champion worthy students for opportunities to learn more and excel in their schools!
SUPERCIKGU
This kind of teacher makes it look easy. With years of experience, SuperCikgu is really organised, and guides the classroom like a pro. You can’t slip anything past SuperCikgu they can see everything (even those notes you passed under your desk!). This senior teacher knows what to expect, but is still excited about being a great educator! 18
CIKGU ROCKSTAR
This teacher is universally loved! This energetic, vibrant educator brings excitement and laughter to the classroom. Cikgu Rockstar has lots of charisma. A loyal supporter, Cikgu Rockstar is always the first to celebrate student successes, but Cikgu Rockstar has a thoughtful side, too. We see it when they try to understand every student to help them learn better.
CIKGU “OLD-SCHOOL”
This teacher has been teaching for years! If a student has a large family, it’s likely this teacher has taught the every sibling - and sometimes even their parents, back in the day. Solid and dependable, this teacher doesn’t change their lessons much, but everyone goes to them for advice because they rely on their good judgement.
Teachers, teachers. There are as many different kinds of teachers as there are colours in a rainbow. So, for Teachers’ Day, we thought it would be fun to show you a few of our favourites! If you look hard, you can find similar sorts of teachers in every school, but in the end, each teacher is a unique individual. Maybe you’ll find that you’re a combination of many different kinds of teachers. Let’s have a look!
CIKGU ICT_GEEK
The school just wouldn’t be the same without your resident ICT expert! This teacher has made the computer lab their home, and everyone goes to them to solve their tech issues. Even if this teacher doesn’t have the answer immediately, they always find a way even if it is a tutorial on YouTube! Their lessons feature cool online resources and you can email this teacher if you have any questions: anywhere, anytime!
CIKGU ADVENTURE
This teacher is about the adventure! Always telling exciting stories in the classroom, this teacher loves taking students on voyages of discovery. This teacher makes time after class to support students and never gives up until everyone understands the lesson.

Ketika diperkenalkan dengan Frog VLE, dia membayangkan dirinya mengusung piano ke dalam Chromelab untuk mengajar salah satu topik subjek Muzik, “Solfa.” Menurut Suhaily Samsudin atau Cikgu Suhaily, topik “Solfa” memerlukan penggunaan piano agar pelajar boleh mengenali “pitch” muzik yang betul. Namun, dia gembira tidak kepalang apabila mengetahui dia boleh memuat naik video rakaman piano dari YouTube. “Segalanya menjadi mudah kerana terdapat banyak bahan media di Frog VLE,” ujarnya.

I warned her that she would get a detention but she simply told me that her father was on the school committee, and that he ‘would not approve’. At the end of that week this student brought in a letter from her father addressed to the Head of Department. Her father wrote that
he did not approve of the book we were studying. He wanted his daughter to be transferred into the Head of Department’s class. She sat in my class that Friday afternoon without even looking at the book; to her, she had won. At my children’s school, we had a Head Teacher who would share this vision to parents at the beginning of every year: “If, as parents, you feel your child's teacher has failed your child (perhaps not paid insufficient attention, wrongly punished or mistreated), however big or small, please bring it to the school before discussing it further with the child. She wanted us to see this - the teacher completely loses the child’s respect the moment their mother or father criticises the teacher at home. The child will not want to do their best for a teacher they have heard their parents privately criticise. So, what happened to the girl who didn't want to be in my class? Well, I'm glad to say my
And my own son? Well, I listened to him without passing comment and then I asked him to wait outside his classroom while I had a quick chat with the teacher. I didn't want him to see if I was angry or upset, I just spoke calmly. When his teacher realised the misunderstanding, she was so upset. We brought my son into the classroom, and she told him how sorry she was. I made sure he said 'that's ok' and forgave the teacher, so that the next day they could start afresh without feeling uncomfortable. Then, I thanked the teacher for sorting this out. Not only was this was the right thing to do, but I also knew my son would be in this teachers’ classroom for the rest of the year, and I wanted him to feel comfortable and grow there. Yes, it was important for my son to have a good relationship with his teacher; but it was just as important for me to respect and support his teacher too.
department head told me he would support whatever I thought was the best outcome. I suggested that the girl move classes, for her own good, and also so that I could continue my good work with the class. I don’t know if that was the right decision - but since the student’s father approached the situation that way, I think we could not do much except change our paths.
“The child will not want to do their best for a teacher they have heard their parents privately criticise.”

Sesi Soal Jawab FROG! Get your Frog Questions Answered! Saya telah membenamkan blog sekolah ke dalam Site menggunakan widget benam. Tetapi widget itu tidak memaparkan apa-apa! Apakah puncanya? Saya menggunakan Google Chrome sebagai pelayar. Hai cikgu, hal ini berlaku kerana skrip sekuriti cikgu tidak disahkan. Jika cikgu berdepan masalah ini lagi, lihat di bahagian kanan petak alamat pelayar cikgu (petak panjang di atas). Cikgu akan nampak ikon seperti penghadang. Jika tidak jumpa, sila rujuk imej di bawah.
Klik ikon itu dan laman baru akan muncul. Di dalam laman itu terdapat butang ‘Load Unsafe Script’. Klik butang iu dan pelayar akan buka semula laman. Site yang cikgu benamkan akan dipaparkan!
Helo Pasukan Teh Tarik, saya ingin memadam salah satu Site saya. Bagaimanakah caranya?
Helo! Hanya Pentadbir Frog sekolah dan pemilik Site boleh memadam mana-mana Site. Jika anda bukan kedua-duanya, sila pastikan anda menghubungi mereka sebelum memadam Site tersebut. 1) Klik ikon FrogDrive di Navigation Bar pada bahagian atas halaman. 2) Halaman FrogDrive anda akan dipaparkan. Klik butang Sites 3) Klik “My Sites.” Senarai Site anda akan dipaparkan. Cari Site yang anda ingin padam. 4) Klik pada Site yang anda ingin padam. 5) Setelah selesai memilih, klik ikon “Settings” di bahagian atas kanan halaman FrogDrive. 6) Beberapa pilihan akan disenaraikan. Pilih “Delete.” 7) Satu laman akan terpapar dan anda akan diminta memasukkan nama pengguna (Yes ID anda) 8) Masukkan Yes ID dan klik “Delete Site.” Untuk paparan visual langkah-langkah memadam Site, KLIK DI SINI
Saya telah membuat Site dan saya ingin kongsikannya dengan guru sekolah lain dari daerah berbeza. Bolehkah saya lakukannya? Jika ya, bagaimana untuk melakukannya? Ya, cikgu boleh kongsikannya. Mula-mula, cikgu perlu hantar Site yang telah siap ke Repositori Site Kementerian Pendidikan. Setelah dimuat naik, ia perlu diluluskan. Cikgu akan menerima emel melalui Yes Email sebaik sahaja ia telah diluluskan. Setelah Site diluluskan, ia boleh dicari di FrogStore. Berikan nama dan keterangan lanjut Site kepada guru lain supaya mereka boleh mencarinya. Selepas itu, mereka boleh memuat turun Site tersebut untuk digunakan sebagai bahan pengajaran. Atau, mereka juga boleh mengakses My Library di laman FrogStore untuk mencari Site itu secara manual. Site yang dimuat turun dari FrogStore perlu disalin ke dalam My Sites sebelum digunakan. Sebagai pemilik salinan Site, cikgu mempunyai akses untuk mengubah, membuat salinan, memadam atau menghantar Site kepada pengguna lain.
