is the link we are provided by our
instructor. I am interested in this page especially it has drawn my attention
to conduct activities in engaging my students. I have already described my
class in terms of students' number, It is the most suitable page for me which
offers a wide range of materials.
What I learned in this
week is in brief here:
Engaging students
·
It helps the
teachers gain skills to manage their large classes. some important skills I
have learned are " engaging students in large class" The teachers can
engage the students in various way such as building a relationship with audience, bringing changes in writing style,
interactions, creating deeper Understanding (using Classroom Assessment
Techniques),team learning using small groups in large lasses
and leading discussion in the class.
·
Other way to manage class is an
effective management of the classroom. The teachers should call the students by
their names. Teachers must be attentive to address the needs of students. Here I learned how to
handle the difficulties that may appear in the classroom. Establishing classroom
etiquette is recommended. Effective Presentations in Lecturing
play a vital role in learning.
Using Technology
·
The students in my school are lacking in technological knowledge
but they are curious about them. The main issues are lack of computers, electricity cut downs,
and problem in the internet.
·
I learned many new things related to teaching with technology. Blog
is one of the best things. Creating a blog for the students is another great
idea. Blogs are easy to create and they will be more useful if we organize
resources to give the students tasks. Using a blog provides a wide range of
possibilities. Blogs motivate the students. Unfortunately, the teaching system in our
place, are depended upon chalk and talk .Students use textbook, pens, pencils,
and their exercise books. No computers, no internet, can be used for them.
·
I take recorded material occasionally in audio form with the
help of sound box and conduct listening speaking exercises.
·
I'm glad to find out
impressive Webquests and their ability to encourage higher level thinking. Webquest is an excellent technology to develop
creative thinking.
Interactive
Classes or PowerPoint:-
- The
idea of using power point is great. It is useful to teach listening, speaking,
reading and writing, the students are easily attracted by colors and
images. Therefore creating power point presentation really motivates the students.
They really add "power" in learning because they are interactive
by sounds and animations. Through the power point, we can teach
grammatical structures, new vocabulary and comprehension of passages and
so on.
·
The
teacher can make his pupils talk more, share ideas each other, learn
from each other and get involved in learning. They feel more secure and use
English to communicate In large classes the teachers improve Lectures With Technology. Course Websites like we are using can be
made and learning becomes efficient.
