Computer Assembling
Filed Under ICT | 2 Comments
On 19 October 2009 (Monday), while other students were having their extra holiday in conjunction with Deepavali holiday, Form 4 ICT students were busy doing their practical lessons to assemble computer. It is part of the ICT syllabus where students learn to assemble a complete computer system unit.
After assembling the hardware components, the students had to partition and format hard disk. It is then followed by installing operating system, application software and utility programs.

Limit on SPM Subjects
Filed Under ICT | 2 Comments
ICT students have started to write in through emails inquiring on news report that SPM students will be allowed to register only 10 subjects starting from 2010 SPM exam. It is true that the Education Minister has already made the announcement. However, there are other views expressed by relevant parties like the National Union of Teaching Profession(NUTP) which proposes 12 subjects as the limit. Then there are also educational organizations which express worries that the limit of 10 subjects will affect the number of students taking up Chinese subject.
We will have to wait for the official letter on the matter. There might be changes.
If the decision on the limit of 10 subjects in SPM is final, the school will explore various options on ways students interested in ICT can sit for the subject in SPM exam. Right now, it is early to discuss on that matter.
As such, the current batch of Form 4 ICT students must remain calm and be patient. As soon as the official letter is received and the final decision is made, you will be the first one to know.

Follow up on the Rating of Jit Sin Blogs
Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
A few weeks have passed since I last wrote on the Star Rating on Jit Sin teachers’ blogs. As expected, I received a number of comments and opinions. Well, as mentioned earlier, it is not easy to put up such a rating, especially one that is supposed to be comprehensive, objective and fair. Browsing through each and every of the 200 blogs takes time and really tests your patience!
Frankly, I expect more comments and even objections! The number of feedback received reflects the number of readers who visited the teachers’ blogs. There are some disagreements which is natural, of course. Everybody has his/her own character and opinion, which is what makes the world interesting, isn’t it?
Any positive response to the rating? Well, we welcome two members of the staffs, namely Pn Agnes Lim and Miss Chong Lee Ling on board. Pn Agnes has put up some useful tips and informations for the students especially those who just sat for their SPM and STPM exams.
Bravo to Mr Tan Chin Yee and Pn Ng Yow Teng. They actively continue to put up rich information. Mr Tan’s blog has attracted 24,155 visitors at blog time. I believe most of them are students who are eagerly looking for useful information which can help in their studies and scholarship.
Of course there are others like Mr Goay Teck Chong, Pn Tan Min Min, Pn Chow Yin Looi, Mr Wong Siew Kong and many more who continue to update and improve their blogs.
What surprised me is that our blogs do catch the eyes of other schools. One school in Penang called up to enquire on the creation of the blogs after seeing the work of Jit Sin blogs.
From now on, there won’t be any more rating on the teachers’ blogs. By now, staffs, students and even the public would have some ideas as to which blogs contain information they are interested to read.
Those who have already established their names will continue to draw readers to their blogs. Others will have to put up more efforts in order to attract attention.
The number of visitors is not the objective of setting up blogs. The main objective of setting up the blogs is to provide a platform for teachers to share their view, information and provide assistance to students.
We plan to extend this platform to student bodies in this school. I will write on that in my next article.
Meanwhile, happy holiday to everybody.

Star Rating on Jit Sin Teachers’ Blogs
Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
It has been quite some time I did not write in my blog. Just before the second “Latihan Dalam Perkhidmatan” to be held later this morning (18 April 2009), I decided to take a look at the various teachers’ blogs.
It is no surprise that those who are still active blogging are the old faces. However, among the old faces, a few have put up some useful articles and tips especially for the students! I hope the current active bloggers will continue their good work so as to attract more “new comers”.
I spent quite some time to go through most of the blogs (around 200 blogs). A lot of the blogs are still empty or very minimal. After going browsing through the blogs, I thought to myself: “Why not put up a rating for the blogs that I have browsed?”
If there is a rating on the blogs, students, teachers and the public who would like to take a look at Jit Sin teachers’ blogs will have an easier time. Instead of going through all the blogs, they can use the star rating as a guide to read the blogs. This will save them time.
I am not be an expert in judging blogs. Neither am I qualified to do so. Hence, the rating given here is only based on my personal knowledge and experience on blogs. I may miss out certain blogs and some judgement may be wrong. I don’t mean to belittle anyone. If there is any mistake, please help to point it out.
The following is the Star Rating of Jit Sin Blogs:

2008 SPM ICT Results!
Filed Under ICT | Leave a Comment
Congratulations to all the 2008 Form 5 Students who took ICT subject in the SPM exam. Out of 14 students who took the exam, 13 of them scored 1A and another one obtained 2A. 100% of the candidates scored grade A in the exam! This is an outstanding result indeed.
What pleases me the most is the fact that the students comprised of Science and Art students. They ranged from 5S1 to 5S9 classes and everyone excelled in the subject. It goes to show that Jit Sin students are good students. If they are committed and hard working, they can achieve wonders.
A high standard has been set. It is now up to the future students to maintain or even surpass the record. I hope it is seen as a challenge rather than as a pressure for the future batches of students.
A piece of advise to all students. Take up subjects you are interested. Once you have made up your mind, work hard, be disciplined and go for it!

Computing/958 As A Form 6 Elective Subject
Filed Under Computing | 3 Comments
Starting from 2009, a new elective subject known as Computing/958 will be offered as an elective subject to Lower 6 students.
This subject is not new to the school. It was first offered in the year 2001 and 2002. 80% of those who took the subject obtained grade A in 2002 STPM examination. The subject was not offered from 2003 onwards because of the lack of response from students.
This subject is to be reintroduced in 2008. There is quite a sizable number of Lower 6 students who wish to take up the subject. However, there was no reply from the state education department on the application from the school. As such it is not introduced this year.
Eventually, the green light from Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia, MPM came at the end of November 2008. Hence the subject will be offered to all students who wish to take up the subject as an extra elective subject. Those students who took ICT subject at SPM level in 2008 are encouraged to apply as the two subjects are closely related.
The subject will be conducted by me. The day and time of learning will be decided later. However, due to the constraints of timetable, computer lab availability and my role as Afternoon Senior Assistant, most likely the subject will be conducted in the afternoon.
The following is the synopsis of the subject:
1. Information and Communication Technology
1.1 Development of Information Technology
1.2 Computer Technology
1.3 Communication Technology
1.4 Information Technology Applications
1.5 Security and Privacy

Filed Under ICT | Leave a Comment
ICT/3765 subject will be offered as an elective subject and opened to application from 2008 Form 3 / 2009 Form 4 students. Only 20 places are available because this is a subject whereby students will have to do practical works and projects. The subject is conducted in a computer laboratory. As such, the number of students who can enroll for the subject is limited. Currently all those who are interested can register for the subject. The final selection of the students will only be made at the beginning of 2009 when the school reopens.
The selection will be made based on a number of criteria:
a. interest of students on computer
b. motivation of students
c. PMR and school results of students
d. other factors deemed suitable
A meeting of all students who had registered will be called eartly next year. They will be briefed in detail on the subject and eventually the final list of students will be made known.

Analysis of SPM Trial Exam and Forecast Result for
Information and Communication Technology 3765/1
The result of Information and Communication Technology subject for the SPM Trial Examination shows that there is not much difference compared with the result of the Mid-Year Examination.
The actual exam date for the SPM ICT subject is on 13 November 2008 (Thursday). After the analysis of the trial exam result, a revision of the syllabus content will be carried out. Discussion will then be held on strategies to answer in the real exam.
A number of students were not well prepared for the Trial Exam. With slightly more than one month to go before the real exam, the students should be able to perform better during the SPM exam. However, much depends on the attitude and effort of the students towards the subject. If they were to put in more effort, it is expected that more than 80% of the students will be able to obtain As in the SPM exam.
The following is the analysis of the Trial Exam and the Forecast SPM result:
