MOdule 5 AcTiViTy 4

This was one of the more tedious activities thus far but I was able to gather a lot of information from my fellow colleagues. Actually breaking the steps showing how we go about teaching a lesson with the inclusion of technology. This exercise really highlighted that despite the wonderful benefits of using technology, we could fail during the delivery process if we do not plan effectively for possible hick ups. It's good to know that some of the problems I am facing with my students as a young teacher, even the more seasoned teachers encounter similar problems. As we continue this module i know it would be quite a learning experience.

Module 5 activity 2

For this activity it took me a while before deciding which educational software I should share with my colleagues because of the wide range of of sites that I access from time to time. I personally believe that funbrain.com is one of the very best site on the internet which cause a positive change in the learning and understanding of students.

Module 5 activity 3

This was an interesting activity because normally, when I search for a site to use I would mainly check whether it has the content which I am looking for and whether it has catchy graphics which won't easily bored the students. On completing this activity, I realized that more thought is need when selected sites and software in general to suppose teaching and learning in my classroom.

Module 5 activity 1

This is my first time using this website to as a record keeping tool of the sites that I've visited and or used within my classroom. Matter of fact I've never used or heard of Diigo. Normally when find a site which is ideal or relative to my classroom activity I would use the browser's bookmarking feature. I think that this would really help me in organizing my online material in the future.

Activity 11: Encouraging Learners to ask questions

In most classroom setting, the teacher is the one who mainly ask the questions. The only time students are actually given the opportunity to talk or respond, it's when the teacher check for students understanding.This activity students ability to formal questions which they need answered. This also prompts students to think about what they want answered. Before they can ask their questions they must ensure that they are clear and straight to the point.
