As long as there's enough light solar cells
seem to work forever. Larger solar panels
are powering homes, road signs, call
boxes, buoys and lights.
Pasangan beruang panda gergasi dari
China kini mendapat tempat tinggal
baharu di Zoo Negara.
Pasangan panda, Feng Yi dan Fu Wa

Antarabangsa KL dari Chengdu, China
dibawa ke zoo dengan diiringi polis
dan ketibaan haiwan itu disambut
kakitangan zoo dan juga 200
kanak-kanak tadika yang dijemput
khas untuk majlis itu.
Kehadiran beruang panda gergasi itu
dijangka akan menarik 500,000
pengunjung ke zoo dalam tempoh 12
bulan akan datang.
Kemudahan yang disediakan untuk
haiwan itu di Kompleks Panda Gergasi
adalah antara yang terbaik di dunia,
antara lain mempunyai sebuah makmal,
klinik veterinar, inkubator, nurseri dan
juga sistem pemantauan bagi
memastikan kesejahteraan haiwan itu.
Orang ramai boleh mengunjung Zoo
Negara untuk melihat Feng Yi dan
Fu Wa pada akhir bulan Jun.

Photovoltaics -- which were once used
almost exclusively in space, powering
satellites' electrical systems as far back
as 1958 -- are being used more and more
in less exotic ways. The technology
continues to pop up in new devices all
the time, from sunglasses to electric
vehicle charging stations.
The idea that one day we'll all
use free electricity from the
Sun, sounds like an exciting
prospect because on a bright,
sunny day, the sun's rays give
off approximately 1,000 watts
of energy per square meter of
the planet's surface. If we could
collect all of that energy, we
could easily power our homes
and offices for free.
Photovoltaic cells are made of special
materials called semiconductors such
as silicon, which is currently used most
commonly. Basically, when light strikes
the cell, a certain portion of it is
absorbed within the semiconductor
material. This means that the energy of
the absorbed light is transferred to the
semiconductor. The energy knocks
electrons loose, allowing them to flow
freely.
PV cells also all have one or more electric
field that acts to force electrons freed by
light absorption to flow in a certain
direction. This flow of electrons is a
current, and by placing metal contacts
on the top and bottom of the PV cell, we
can draw that current off for external
use, say, to power a calculator. This
current, together with the cell's voltage
(which
is a result of its built-in electric field
or fields), defines the power (or
wattage) that the solar cell can
produce.
That's the basic process, but
there's really much more to it.
So students who are interested
should go to the Internet or refer
to relevant books to learn more.
The solar cells on calculators and
satellites are also called photovoltaic
(PV) cells, which as the name implies
(photo meaning light and voltaic
meaning electricity), convert sunlight
directly into electricity. A module is a
group of cells connected electrically and
packaged into a frame (more commonly
known as a solar panel), which can then
be grouped into larger solar arrays.

sensitive to our attitudes and emotions.
They talk to me whenever I have
problems in my studies. They offer the

An i-THINK
Impact Study
Underway
A study to determine the impact
of i-THINK is currently underway in
the 10 Showcase schools. A study
team is travelling to all the schools
to observe the use of i-THINK
methodologies in teaching and
learning.
The objective of the study is
to determine the Showcase
Schools’ receptiveness of the
i-THINK programme practices
that illustrates programme
adoption.
The study will also help
examine the schools current
capacity to implement the
i-THINK Programme and
identify processes that require
improvement apart from
measuring the impact of
thinking skills in teaching and
learning.
The study will also assess the
Senior Leadership role in
monitoring the i-THINK
Programme, determine students
awareness, application and
understanding of Thinking Maps
and Habits of Mind and also gauge
parents awareness of the i-THINK
Programme.
The assessment exercise includes
review of school planning and
operational documents, learning
walks (surveying different learning
environments), review lesson plans
and observe the conducting of
lessons.
The team will also conduct focus
group interviews with Heads of
Schools, PK1, PGK Hem, PK Ko-Ko,
teachers, students, JPN/PPD and
parents.

LEARNING
Workshops on
IBMYP
in selected schools
The International Baccalaureate Middle
Years Programme workshops to introduce
IBMYP to teachers and parents were held in May
in selected schools in Pahang, Sarawak,
Kelantan and Putrajaya.
The IBMYP Introductory Workshop for Teachers
and Parents held in Pahang, Sarawak, Kelantan
and Putrajaya are aimed at highlighting the
teaching and learning of IB and the elements that
are involved in the programme.
The workshops are designed to encourage and
enable participants to understand that the mission
and philosophy of the programme support an
assessment driven, learner-centred environment.
The participants were informed that the MYP is a framework
that is designed to help students find a sense of belonging in
an ever-changing and increasingly interrelated world.
It was also highlighted that the IBMYP helps create
conceptually-based and contextually-grounded MYP units
that engage student inquiry.
The workshops also helped the participants understand that
the MYP assessment model was criterion-related and is not
intended as a way to compare one student’s progress to
another.
Parents were also exposed to the philosophy of the IBMYP, the
benefits of the programme and how they can support the
students and school in the implementation of the programme.
One of the aims of the workshops is to introduce
the IBMYP to teachers and parents so that they get
a better understanding of what the students
would be exposed to when they embark on
the programme.
The workshops will continue in other
schools over the next few months.
It is defined by six global contexts
for teaching and learning that are
developed from and extend the
PYP's transdisciplinary themes
explored using knowledge and
skills derived from eight subject
areas, with a powerful emphasis
on inquiry-based learning and is
flexible enough to accommodate
the demands of most national or
local curriculums and provides the
best preparation for students to
engage in the International Baccalaureate
Middle Years Programme.

The Double Bubble Map is useful to compare and contrast two things, issues or ideas. In the drawing of the map
some of the key words that can be used to churn out the contents for the map are compare, contrast, similarities,
differences, distinguish between and differentiate. The map is drawn with two circles with words of the two things,
issues or ideas that need to be compared - one at the left and another at the right. Then draw circles (middle
bubbles) between the two large circles where words and phrases that indicate similarities are written. Outside
bubbles connected to the two circles which show the things, issues and ideas to be compared are drawn for words
or phrases that identify the differences. This is an example of a question: What are the similarities and differences

What are the components of Technology Competencies?
The tree map is used for classifying a main idea and its supporting details. It helps sort things and ideas into
categories or groups. When creating the Tree Map you have to write the category name or the main idea of the
topic on the top line. Then add a connecting line down to link to individual sub-categories or supporting ideas.
Below each sub-category or supporting idea you can add lines for the specific members of the category or specific
details for the supporting ideas. Tree Maps can also be used for an informal grouping of themes, concepts or ideas
or for gathering details about story elements. See the example below:

Digitising
Malaysia's Education
Co-organised by the Ministry of
Education Malaysia, MDeC and
Terrapinn, the Digital Education Show
Asia hosted 60 seminars where the
delegates exchanged information and
expert opinion.
Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin
Yassin whose speech was read at the
event reminded the people on the
contrasting relationship between
information and communication
technology (ICT) and education.
“ICT does make a difference. And I
think, this is our stand. We cannot
afford to take a chance with the
future of Malaysia,” he said.
Muhyiddin said he was keenly aware
that ICT and technology changed at
a faster rate than change at the
school level.
“Education thus needs to be flexible
in incorporating ICT in schools. I also
fear that the rate of technological
change may result in teachers who
are perpetually novices at
technology.
“Other dangers such as social and
ethical challenges need to be
addressed. A coherent and
structured implementation needs to
accommodate these changes as well
as support the inclusion and
participatory nature of technology
and society,” he added.
Deputy Minister of Education P.
Kamalanathan said MOE was
targeting 100 percent 4G internet
connection in schools nationwide by
next year.
“We are still short of 14 percent and
will reach it by 2015. Focus is on
schools in remote areas that have
access to 2G internet,” he said.
Among the topics that were
discussed included digitising
Malaysia's education, mapping
Malaysia’s education blueprint, fixing
the past or inventing the future: The
role of technology for educational
transformation, leading school
transformation to a digital ecosystem
and teacher training - inspiring
teachers to innovate and take action
(resulting in a generation of
pro-active and creative learners).
