As time goes by, I am realizing and learning many things that I should know as a English teacher. One of this week's discussion is about using one computer and mobile devices in class. In my classroom, there is one computer for teachers. I usually use the computer show some video clips and reading materials. Indeed, students are banned from using the computer by my school's rule. Therefore, when I planned a class that students participate in actively, I should prepare various worksheets or move to a library or another room which has a few computers sharing other teachers. However, these days, I don't need to move other places and encourage students use their phone for searching more information and recording the dialogue.
I have learned many things like treasures for 6 weeks and I should plan the final project for the rest of the three weeks. Actually, though I am really trying to keep up with the pace of other teachers, it's not easy. As I wrote, Now I need the positice thinking that I can do it. No pain, no gain. I believe in myself.
Dear Sooo,
답글삭제You are not the only one who is worried about the pace of the project work)))) And I really liked your way of using smart phones for learning English.
Dear Soo,
답글삭제I've been learning so much, too, with our weekly tasks and fantastic instructor, but also by the sheer amount of sharing among us, participants.
I am ...well... overwhelmed by so much, but as you put it "No pain, no gain" I also believe in myself and will have the drft ready on Wednesday!
Good luck! Best greetings from Portugal,
Alex
Hello,
답글삭제I have also just one computer in my classroom which I find pretty difficult. Luckily my students have a good access to internet at home so I can give them some asignmets to be done as homework. I am extremely careful with regard to mobile phones since I had some problems when they published on the internet nasty things recoreded during lesson.
