The month of September has arrived. Today, 1st September commemorates Teacher’s Day. It is a very special day set aside to remember, thank and celebrate the efforts of those who have set aside part of their lives to groom the leaders of the future, students. Indeed, it is a memorable, significant and joyous day for all teachers and students to remember. It is not a simple job of purely academic teachings; a teacher has to be able to give students a holistic education where students are able to learn more than what a textbook can offer and take learning beyond the borders of the classrooms and into our lives.
Thus, by being a teacher, you are actually taking up one of the most noble jobs on Earth itself, it is a job where you have to really put your heart & soul into it so that you can help groom talents to ensure that the future generation only improves! Teachers are essential to a society of any sort, as they allow students to tell right from wrong, black from white and what's important in our lives. They supplement the teachings and guidance parents have given to their children.
This is a shout out to all students - cherish your teachers for being there for you. Without them, you would not have been the person that you are today. Be thankful for the teachings that they have given you. Happy Teacher’s Day 2010 to all teachers! You guys rock!
In the spirit of Teacher's Day, We have asked people what Teacher's Day meant to them and this are what they have to say.
A very sweet and amazing IMI student who is filled with passion for IMI:
"Teacher's day is about being grateful to the teachers who have shown dedications and nobly set aside a major part of their life to nature the student."
Sheldon:
"I think that teachers are awesome and they have played a very big role in my life by giving me tender loving care."
Hikaru:
"Teachers are the one who gave me passion and life in learning. Their guidances have also gave me many opportunities in my life."
Ms Maya:
"It's a time for me to reflect on whether I have been a good teacher to my students - I take some time out to reflect on how I can be a better teacher to touch the lives of more students and make a difference in their lives."
Ms Natasha Low, Lecturer of IMI:
"Teacher's day is more like an acknowledgement to my colleagues who have given support and encouragement to their students."
Mr Peter Choy, Course Manager of IMI:
"It reminds me of my mission to teach the young so that beside being able to make a living for their lives, they could also impact the world positively."
As a tribute to all the noble teachers out there who have set aside a major part of their lives to nurture us, we, the future leaders of tomorrow, have manifested our gift in several creatively done comics just for you, sincerely from the bottom of our hearts.
Have a Joyous, Happy, Meaningful and Memorable TEACHER'S DAY!

To our dear lecturers, thank you for nurturing us. Thank you teachers for your wonderful efforts, we really appreciate it.
"A mustard seed may be tiny, but it blooms into a huge mustard tree, & this is only possible with the nurturing of the seed by the gardener. In the same way, teachers nurture students when they are merely ‘mustard seeds’ to when they bloom into a beautiful ‘mustard tree’, & this metamorphosis will not be possible without you, our dear Teachers."
As a tribute to all our teachers who have touched our young tender lives, the following are four comic strips, specially dedicated to you. We hope you will enjoy our humble artworks from us, your team of IMI resident bloggers!
Once again, Happy Teachers Day to you all! Without you, we would not be who we are today!

During this April 2010 semester, I had the privilege of teaching the module “Web Design” (WDS) to Year 1 students (Freshmen) from the Diplomas in Games and Entertainment Technology (GET), Interactive Media Informatics (IMI) and Mobile & Network Services (MNS). WDS is a core subject offered to all Year 1 students studying in the Temasek Informatics & IT School. In class, students were taught to use Microsoft Expression and Adobe Fireworks CS3 to build their websites.
For me, this week had been an exciting time of the semester where I could sit back, relax and enjoy my students’ wonderful presentations of the fruits of their weeks of labour – their completed websites! At the end of the 16-week stint, the project presentation was their final challenge and manifestation of their successful completion of the WDS module after surviving other hurdles of completing the research proposal and term test earlier.
I marveled at my students’ efforts and hard-work to produce quality websites that they can be proud off. I listened with interest as they reflected their challenging yet meaningful experience of their self-directed learning endeavours of learning additional softwares beyond the subject syllabus.
When I observed my students beamed with pride and happiness as they stood tall to present their websites, I knew that this subject had certainly achieved its objectives of equipping students with the basic yet practical skills and knowledge of web designing. I was also pleasantly surprised when some of them demonstrated how they had exceeded my expectations by incorporating programming and photography skills learnt from other subjects, to value add and increase the interactivity of their websites and adding the ‘wow’ factor. Indeed that had been the most rewarding experience for me as the facilitator for these self-motivated students!
Their smart formal attire had added a touch of professionalism to their presentation, helped boosted their confidence and gave them the experience of presenting their websites to a real-life client when working in the industry.
For the next batch of WDS students, heed these useful tips and advice from these seniors who had gone through the rigour of web designing - start working on your research proposal early in the semester, practice good time management, be consistent and avoid
procastination.
Just like my students, I too have had a fantastic and joyful experience teaching, interacting while learning together with them as well. This can be seen from their smiles and happy faces in the photographs seen here. While I felt sad to say goodbye to these students at the end of our short learning journey together this semester, I knew that the warm friendship and bonding we had shared will be cherished in our hearts for a long time to come. Thanks to the advent of digital new media, we can continue to virtually keep in touch with one another via Facebook, Twitter and MSN.
I certainly can’t wait to proudly demonstrate the good works of these students to motivate and inspire the future batches of WDS students. What a delightful closure I had had for this April 2010 semester!
Anyway, here are the photos I took with my classes:

These photos are hard evidence that classes in TP are fun, & both lecturers like me & the students enjoy our classes. Even though I'm always sad to see students leave, but as I said earlier, we still keep in touch virtually, & I get to know even more wonderful students! Teaching in TP is a wonderful experience for me! With that, I leave you with this post.
Your awesome lecturer,
