Reflection:

With the use of educational website, we can get some information about a given topic. For example, if the teacher is not around, the teacher can leave an activity by using the available educational websites like http://360education.uk, http://www.timespellingbee.co.uk and http://www.educationcreation.com. There are a lot of educational websites which the user can make use of. Likewise, the facilitator or the teacher can provide a lot of activities during siesta hour to enhance or motivate the students in their academic endeavor.

                We all know that in classroom environment, the teachers are only facilitators while the students are the explorer of knowledge.
