A reflection on my own multimedia sources

Hello guys, today I will talk about my own experience as a teacher last week  related to the multimedia elements. From that day and on, there have been some students who ask me about the technological sources that I used in my lesson. If you want to get a clear idea on that, I suggest you to read this post and here you will get what you were asking for.  Maybe it is too late you might think to write about it as it has passed some days but I cannot forget that moment as it was too special for me.

My topic was in grammar and the first impression that you get when you have to explain grammar, or learn it is like ugh it will be very boring and too much information at the same time. As our subject is on how to apply multimedia technology in second language teaching, I will show you the way how I put this theory in practice. To be honest, it took me a while to think in details about that, but I think in the end it was worth the time. During the whole subject that we are still in process, we have learned how to use multimedia so as to make the lesson interesting and not boring to hear or watch. Lets waste no more time and get straight into the point.

First of all, I started my lesson by using the video Projector and with PowerPoint and I tried to make use of many features of interactive PowerPoint by applying many of them, but no need to mention them all as you were present there that day. Secondly, through the usage of another medium that is the blackboard and colorful chalks I made the rules more understandable and easy to find the differences. Over and above that, visual images were another element that made the topic appropriate for fifth grade students. Moreover, another medium that I applied was a video music made with Video-Maker  which was funny to watch and served as a summary of all the adjectives mentioned in the class. The last but not the least, I have also used another source that is Hot Potato. With Hot Potato I created two exercises the first was made with gap filling and the other was made with crossword. In my opinion, this app helps you a lot if you want to make your own exercises without taking them by someone else.

To conclude, all these media helped me with my first lesson, and as the weeks pass there are everyday new technological elements that we encounter by our friends' presentations, which can be used in our future classes or in other presentations. By posting our own technological sources we can help each other in getting a clear idea on what other ones to use, do not hesitate to do that.
Thank you for reading it, I hope it was useful. ;)

    I really enjoyed your teaching class as it was really interesting and as I told you the previous hour it was the most colorful project. Also the combination of both Powerpoint and blackboard made it more interactive. I'll keep in mind all these technological sources for my own presentation.
    Thanks for sharing

    Since I was present during your presentation in class , I really didn''t have why to read your reflection , but I still did that.
    I enjoyed your post in the same way that I enjoyed your presentation in class and I have to say that all the media that you used during the presentation were all useful and most of all, using Interactive PowerPoint, not so much used today though.

    The fact that you have reflected on your own project is already good.
    The fact that I was also present during that presentation made me realize what kind of teachers I want to be around as colleagues.
    Good job 🤩

multiple intelligences and multimedia

Image
Before I read about Multiple Intelligences, I did not know that much things about this topic, or  their enormous effect on the productivity of students. As I was introduced to the topic it made me think about our level of intelligence, but then I realized it was completely different. I found many facts related to this topic attention-grabbing and very informative. While I was reading I was thinking about some teachers that I have had in the past whose class was not successful. What I realized during the text was that they did not lack any knowledge about their subject, but the reason behind that was that they did not know how to make us learn better.   This was related to multiple intelligences discovered by Howard Gardner.   Multiple intelligences mean that each of us has different ways of learning things, and we do not belong only to a category, but we might belong to a combination of them. Gardner suggests that each person has nine intelligences in different amounts:...

A Reflection on Webinars

Image
         To start with, I am really passionate about this way of teaching that we were introduced this week "Webinars". We are used to being taught in a class full of students, with our professor in front of us, with an overhead projector screen, but this is not the case with webinars. At the first moment that I saw what webinars were about and how they functioned, it immediately made me think of face-time. It seemed to me as if they were people chatting with one another,and the only distinction was that their topic was related to teaching. While I was watching the two videos that we were introduced, about the way how a lesson can be used, it completely changed my previous idea. I realized that webinars are seminars performed on Web, which can be of different types such as; conferences, meetings or teaching like the one that we were introduced.      Before a teacher plans a lesson there are a lot of questions that he/she wants to answer. Som...

A Reflection on Juniors conference

Image
Hello guys, today I will talk about our conference on Friday. As some of you were not present that day, I hope that this post will make you visualize it. It was a wonderful day, and to me it was the best experience ever. At the beginning it was difficult to work with these projects and what was really hard, was the part that I was a member of two presentations. Despite the harsh time and difficulties in the end everything turned out to be a success. Together with our friends we worked hard for a couple of weeks, we spent a lot of time together sharing and changing ideas. Professor Daniela and Professor Aileen were always there to help us with ideas or critics and they were always pushing us to do even more.  At the beginning, I thought that it would be something really easy to be done, I thought that it would be just like those presentations that we have had in class, but actually it was completely different. We had to work with each other at late hours, because we had also ...
