1) The document discusses integrating ICT (information and communications technology) into teaching and learning in Malaysian schools. It notes that the Ministry of Education has invested significant funds and training to equip teachers and students with ICT skills. 2) Students are asked to provide their ideas in under 500 words on the issues and challenges of integrating ICT into the classroom. 3) The document provides an example of a group assignment where students used an electronic instrument called "Discovery" to record sensor measurements over time of quantities like temperature, light, and pH levels during science experiments.

save time manually.
Less work need to be done by the students. This enable
experiment to be done in a small group; the learning
process becomes more meaningful. 20

b. What type of surfaces is good absorber
of sound?
2. You can hear the ticking sound of the clock
at the other end of the tube. Why does
this happen? 35

36. ENHANCE
The echoes in the studio can be reduced
because the sound is absorbed by soft
