Week Six



Week six,

This week I learnt some nice ideas that I hope will help me deal with my large classes. I think the best answer is collaborative work which will turn the week point which is number into an advantage  but it needs lots of attention from the teacher.

I also found new technique called Teaching Naked which simply means using the technology before and after the lesson and not to use it during the lesson. I found that quite an interesting idea.

I also learnt about how to make my power point presentation more interactive. I now can use hyperlinks to sound, video or even internet websites and pages. I wish I can learn about how to make a jeopardy game which I still struggle with , but I’m a fighter and I will hopefully learn it.

 I especially liked the non linear power point, the technique that allows you to jump back and forward or link to another presentation. I made a similar clumsy power point presentation which I hope my colleagues will like.

As for my project I’m in hot water. Last week was a very busy week and I didn't manage to decide on what project to implement on my students so for. They are only 10 years with mixed abilities. I don’t think they can surf the net on their own. I also don’t have internet connection in my class. I do have an over head and a teacher’s laptop and a white board. I’m sure I’ll  create a great project with the help of my instructor, Robert.

  1. Hi Mohamed:
    Nice reflection, many things you are thinking about. With regards to your project, keep it simple. We don't have lots of time, and your situation is limited, so don't try to do anything fancy. Even small incremental uses of technology can make fantastic projects.
