The Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) introduced an online system where every student, teacher and parents have a single login to tools provided by FrogAsia and Google apps.
I did sound like an online learning system but I fail to see how its beneficial to a student. Or is there a specific group its catered for? Teachers have the administrative task to create their own students, but this extra work, is it worthwhile and how many is doing so?
If its for the benefit of our future leaders, I am all for it. From the site, it explains what the VLE is for;
Firstly, students were given a slip of paper with information to login to their 1bestarinet. It was assumed that students would remember the URL, and it was not recorded for them. The slip of paper is not clear, which information was the userid and password.
2. Had to google around to find the site and found it as 1bestarinet.net where the site is a mix of English and Bahasa. I clicked "Log masuk & VLE sekolah" and mainly saw 4 boxes. Its pink, green, orange and blue. But why after the login it sends me to a Yes.my page? Was wondering where do I go from here.
Looked like its a shop to reload some datapack. But why is MOE sending us here? Something didn't seem right. It is showing www.yes.my and NOT 1bestarinet, need to try again.
3. This time, from the same 1bestarinet.net website click on the 3rd of the 4 boxes. Its called Activate my ID.
It does ask to activate and sends to a site called hopin.frogasia.com. Its displays some discounted Knowledge Conference, A Lilypad magazine (I suppose its related to frogs) and credit for dataplans (Am I suppose to purchase these?) but nothing that points to what is expected of the class or my purpose being in frog.
Maybe I will come back to this later. Can't explain to the children how to access or use it for now.
I don't see much comments online, maybe others are doing better with the use of this Frog. Wonder if the kampung kids are doing better than me.
Updates:
At bottom of the 1bestarinet.net is a form to choose the school then the login page. Who would have guessed?

Bayangkan Persekitaran Pembelajaran Maya Frog (Frog VLE) sebagai intranet, bilik darjah online dan ruang sosial untuk sekolah, semuanya dalam di bawah satu bumbung. Ia adalah sistem pembelajaran berasaskan laman web yang menyerupai pendidikan dunia sebenar dengan menyatukan konsep pendidikan konvensional. Sebagai contoh, guru-guru boleh memberi tugasan, ujian dan markah secara maya, sementara para pelajar boleh menghantar kerja rumah mereka dan menyemak markah yang diperolehi melalui Frog VLE. Ibu bapa pula boleh berkomunikasi dengan guru-guru dan pihak pentadbir sekolah boleh menyusun kalendar sekolah dan memaparkan notis melalui Internet. Frog VLE boleh diakses di mana jua, pada bila-bila masa dengan adanya sambungan Internet.
