WEEK 9 - PROJECT DETAILS

Hi Friends !!!

For this week we had to be more detailed on what we are going to do in our presentation. It was easy for me to deal with this assignment since  Aurora and I have already finished our project. We have decided to use a video, a PowerPoint presentation and a game. We are going to teach to our students "Food Idioms", and this technological tools will be very helpful not only for us as teachers but also for students. We will try to do our best in order to make the class as interactive as possible. Hope you will enjoyed. Wish you have a good week. :)

How can technological tools influence our teaching?

Hi guys ! This week assignment ask us to think about how technological elements might influence our teaching, and to write some issues or problems that the class is experiencing. Technology is a powerful tool that can support and transform education in many ways, from making it easier for teachers to create instructional materials to enabling new ways for people to learn and work together. Today, technology enables forms of communication and collaboration undreamt of in the past. The technological tools we have chosen are very helpful for us. It makes our presentation easier and much more comprehensible to our students.  By using this tools of technology we aim to make the lesson hour more interactive . Technology can be used to improve teaching and learning and help our students be successful. While smaller schools and class sizes are always desired, technology can not do that physically. However, technology can be a “force multiplier” for the teacher. Instead of the teacher being the only source of help in a classroom, students can access web sites, online tutorials, and more to assist them. Education doesn’t stop at the end of the school day because students have access to teachers, resources, and assignments via the web and access these resources at any time. Students can also get help and tutoring at any time, whether from the teacher via email or online collaboration, or from a help web site.

ESL releated skill !!!

HI FRIENDS...
I have just finished the assingment of this week and I feel released.I though I won't make it since today is the deadline of this assingment but here I am. This week we had to define an ESL releated skill to teach to our students. Me and Aurora have decided to teach listening and speaking to our students, since our topic is about Teaching Idioms. By developing speaking and listening we as teachers aim to help our students to speak fluently the english language. As well what is more important it will help them to interact more with each other and to learn from each other.

Hi everyone!
Our assingment for this week has to do with our project considering the class we are going to present it. It was exciting thinking myself as a teacher. However, I find it a bit difficult because it requires a hard work. I start thinking for my class, my course goals,my student needs and so on. My topic for this presentation is food idioms and we are going to use songs and different games. We have chosen idioms because we want our students talk fluently the English language.

WebQuest...

  Hi bloggers!

 This week we had a very interesting assignment, creation of an WebQuest. It wasn't as difficult as I thought only a bit messy. WebQuests are probably the most talked-about and widely used Web-based activities in today's classrooms.  WebQuests are also a wonderful way of capturing students' imagination and allowing them to explore in a guided, meaningful manner. WebQuests give students a task that allows them to use their imagination and problem-solving skills. The answers are not predefined and therefore must be discovered or created. Students must use their own creative-thinking and problem-solving skills to find solutions to problems. I think WebQuest is a help for us as teachers-to-be to make our students to get more involved in learning process. Have a nice week. :) :)
