The Sixth Week is Truly Inspiring
The week went on, but with some promising ideas and workouts. First with discussion as follows.
1.Keeping students engaged in large lecture classes
2.Making technology work for you a.Using Technology In Teaching Large Classes
3.Getting groups to work well
4.Assessing What Your Students Are Learning Keep observing and assessing your Ss' learning by means of various observation and assessment tools.
5.Additional resources
  a.Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Anticipate level-wise learning outcomes as per the rubrics. 
  b.Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) From the very beginning, as most university courses do offer, begin the classes with five to six goals; ensure that the virtual response system, to both T and Ss, for feedback and good comprehension works well; use classroom rubrics for this purpose too and craft and circulate adequate MCQ for scanning misconceptions and confusions.

Second, I learned how to create an interactive powerpoint using the articles on course plan. As a result, I have created an interactive powerpoint on teaching short story entitled 'The Fisherman and the Genie' for fifth graders.
Now, I'm applying my learning to the classroom. Moreover, it's a project that I'm starting with. In the meantime, when I shared this all to my students of grade VIII, few refused citing low knowledge of internet. When I assured my help for, then they agreed. Perhaps, 20 of 30 will be participating right after the webquest formation and other preparation on my part.

That's all about this week.

See you.

  1. Interesting that some refused. It was great of you to offer the guidance they would need. Once they get going I think they will never look back. -Robert
