Last semester, when the COVID-19 hit us all over the globe (well, except some remote islands like Vanuatu and such), I was thrown into a realm of uncertainty. There goes my hands-on activities and the worksheet that I have prepared but I know that I cannot let myself into the abyss of despair. Knowing my own ability on ICT and whatsnot, I know that I have to learn something new. I push myself to learn something that I would never think to try such as video making and editing. But I am still learning it though. Even though I have created five videos so far, I am still far from being an expert. Nope. One thing at a time.
Some said that rather than using Whatsapp, using Telegram is much helpful. Full stop. No specific explanation is given. I know that I cannot rely on others to learn new things but there are so many things on my hand that I could handle. This is how I feel at times.
Alhamdulillah, I met a junior who is willing to show me how she uses Telegram by showing one or two examples from her last semester class. So, since the only small group that I have is the English teachers group that I have since Latihan Ikhtisas, I asked them if I could run a test by using them as my guinea pig. Well, being ever willing to be in any of my project and experiment, they said ok. So, I did a quick test on them when I created a poll using VoteBot on Telegram. Darn! How I wish I learn this before. It could make the class discussion more interactive because I can pose a question like MCQ and whatnot by using VoteBot.
There are so many other things that I need to learn but one thing at a time. Alhamdulillah.
