Step 5 :)

This time we have to conclude all what we have done so far. I think that from the beginning it has been difficult but step but step everything was getting easier. Not because at first we didn't know what to do but because of the fact that we were confused and didn't have a clear plan. After some time we were able to identify our goals, what students need and how we were going to explain to them. It was I magnificent experience to be in front of my friends and to explain to them. I don't want to repeat myself about the media that I have used during my project. I used only what I thought it will be good and help me to present it. So I want to thank also all the students that participated and are participating during all the presentation. All of as has a clear goal: To became great teachers 

And here are our first steps toward a long journey.I am enjoying my time in these presentations.

Hope all of you have a great weekend :)

Step 4 and we have done it :)

Good evening everyone :) How are you doing?
As the assignment for this week was to conclude our final step of our project I have chosen to make some changes because some new ideas come in my mind. I think that I have cover all the material and my steps in the assignment that I have uploaded before.
But today it was my turn to present it. At the begging it was a bit difficult to deal with my friends in role of my students. I had prepared my plan before so for me it was easier to explain everything. The class allowed me to show my self and I 'd like the atmosphere that was created. I had created four media to explain my topic but with one intention to mix up lesson with a bit of fun caused by the videos.
I hoped that all of you that were presented today have enjoyed our presentation. And also I want to thank all of you for your positive comment, and for some of your advise ...I really appreciated them.
I wish all of you to have a nice weekend despite the weather :)

Step 3 is done :)

Hello everyone!
I have come to the end with this project. I hope all of you have finished and are ready to make your presentations in the class. For this week we have to deal with some problems that we might occur while we use technology in the classroom and the beneficial of using it. I think that as students we understand it perfectly what impact might have technology on us. So we don't have to pretend that they will follow us in every step because we haven't done the same thing. But as teachers we should make a big effort in order that our students will pay attention to what we are explaining.
So I think I am ready to present my project next week.
Thank you and wish all of you to have a wonderful weekend :)

Hope so!

Step 2

This step is about how idioms are explained by the use of technology. Now days technology facilitates many aspects of our lives and also the process of teaching. As a teacher I would use technology to make the process of learning interesting and attractive so this step is going to treat the ways how I would incorporate technology for teaching idioms within the classroom. So I have chosen some application in order to make the lesson more interesting for my students and to help them to memorized as many idioms as possible. I will use 3 medias to fulfill my objectives:  Prezi, Movie maker & Show Me Interactive Whiteboard.

Step 1 is done :)

Hi everyone :)

As you all know for this week we have to prepare the first step for our final project. It was a bit confusing because we have to select a topic that is appropriate for our presentation and to be beneficial for us and our classmates. Since this project is in groups as a team we have chosen “Idioms” as the topic of our project. Then each of us have to prepare the first step of how we will present the topic in the class. I have clear ideas how I am going to work with this topic. Today I have just make a short outline of what I am going to do for the final project but things may change if something new and interesting came suddenly in my mind. I was focused mainly on student’s level, setting, course goals and students needs. But in the following weeks I am going to add more things in my project and I hope to cover every aspect that is needed.

The WebQuest assignment

Today for the first time I have tried to make an online project. It was a bit difficult for me because I had never work with this kind of project. At the beginning it was a bit strange because I couldn’t understand how I will create a project in order to help my pupils. But I read some information online and I watched some video in order to create a clear image of what I was going to do.

WebQuest was different from other tasks that we have made so far but it wasn’t so difficult because in order to fulfill our pupils needs we have to create things and methods that the will understand better the new lesson.

Step by step I learn to create a web project. Maybe it isn’t as good as a professional project but it is useful and very productive. I saw also examples on the net and examples of my friends and I think that they are good too. But we should remember that we are only in the first steps of using technology for a good purpose for our pupil.

In conclusion I hope that this WebQuest project will be one of many that I will create for my pupils.

Great Teaching
