LEARNERS
SPEAK!
The students of SMK Puchong
share their thoughts
[By Esther Dharshini ]
What do you
think of the
Frog Classroom?
If you were a
teacher, how
would you teach
your students?

It’s very colourful which
makes it interesting to study
in. The Chromebook helps us
find information easily and it
also helps us with our future
and our careers.
I wouldn’t be strict and I would be
friendly to impress them, as usually
students don’t like strict teachers
but like loving teachers. I will also
use technology and presentations.
By doing that I will be able to
increase their interest in studies.

It’s the best classroom! This
class is very pretty, creative and
interesting. When students
come to this class, they are
more focused. It’s different from
the old classes, which are
boring. This class is new, so it
has a different kind of feeling.
I would ask the students to
decorate this class. For example, if
the students have created a mind
map, I will ask them to paste the
paper on the wall so others can see
it. If a student does research at
home, they can also paste their
research on the wall. Everyone can
share what they have learnt with
each other.

It's nice! It's definitely more
comfortable than our previous
classroom which really helps us
concentrate on what our teachers
are saying when they teach. My
favourite part is of course, the
mirror!
I would give them presents for
good marks so that they will be
excited to learn!

The classroom is more beautiful
compared to normal classrooms.
The colour of the classroom makes
the students’ minds peaceful and
they don’t feel angry all the time.
The table arrangement and seating
order is also nicer.
I would ensure there is two-way
communication between the
students and teacher. This will
help to solve the students’
problems and also understand
their feelings.
