Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing fine. My final project is coming very soon and I am nervous and very excited about it. I am preparing about it and its been a very busy week because I am thinking about the best way to present it. This whole process has been very interesting. I would like to mention that the drop box assignments and the diary have helped me a lot. It has helped me by taking things step by step and its easier this way. Whenever I find an interesting information or an activity, I write it down there and later I will check on it. Without the diary I think it would have been difficult because I might have an idea now and if I don't write it, I might forget it later.  So far, I am very happy with the final project I really like this project and I can’t wait to present it. This whole process has helped me improve myself and see my self as a real teacher. I catch myself thinking about it everyday. Aim constantly thinking how to improve the teaching...

The last few weeks we have had the chance to experience mock-teaching. Mock-teaching is it the best way in my opinion to develop pedagogy. As we all know to become the teachers, we want to be we should practice a lot and that’s why mock-teaching is very helpful. During mock-teaching we as future teachers, teach a short lesson to our group members in class to see how our teaching process performs. I personally have really enjoyed this project. Its one of the best I have ever experienced. Because its very entertaining and its very helpful. We share different ideas between each-other and I have benefited a lot from it. The advantage of it is that each one of us gets to experience a whole teaching process from the beginning till the end. The process starts by preparing for the topic when u brainstorm and you research on the activities that should be used. And it continues by performing it and you feel like a real teacher because you have to handle the class, you have to tea...

This week lesson was about webinars. The more we learn about online teaching the more interesting it gets. Webinars are online seminars or lessons that are delivered online. Using webinars its very easy and fast. Technology nowadays has made everything easier. Students can participate the lessons without being present in the classroom. They can study from the comfort of their home. Some  advantages are that its very easy to use them, students can take a lot of information in a short period of time and its very affordable so it is very low cost. But for every plus there is a minus. To start with tha fact sometimes the internet speed might not be adequate. Not all students might be able to provide internet acess and also not all the students are good with the technology.  In conclusion i personally think that this way of learning is very useful and productive despite its disadvantages. Thank you 🙂

Hello everyone! I personally think that this approach is one of the best ones, because it’s very useful. Through this model students are more active, and they learn more about the subject or real-life problems and challenges. I have personally experienced PBL a lot during my school years. In almost every subject I have done, teachers have required to do a project based on the subject. So, in the end of every subject we had to do a project based on a specific topic. I have to say that its very helpful. It helps students to interact with each-other. It makes students be more interested in that subject. Students also enjoy presenting them. When students are asked to do a project based on the subject, they are aware of the responsibility they have, and they research on their own about the subject or topic and this makes them acquire even more knowledge and they become active learners. Because it’s not about just finding information’s. It is about the time students take to...

Hello everyone Firstly, I want to say that flipped classrooms are the evidence of the advantages that we get to experience through technology.   I like the fact that nowadays the lessons are not anymore teacher-centered like in the traditional model, but it is shifted to learner-centered. Students are getting more involved in the process of learning. Flipped classrooms give the students the opportunity to get knowledge outside the class. I’ve always been pro to teaching through discussions and  interactions between students and teachers.   Students through flipped classrooms are more active and they interact with each-other. They also give feedback. Of Couse I must mention that there are also some disadvantages like for example maybe not all students have the possibility to possess internet or laptop. So, we as future teachers should take in consideration even this aspect before deciding to use flipped classroom model. Technology nowadays is inevitable...

Hi everyone Last week lecture was about constructivism. Learning about the theory of Constructivism was very interesting. I totally agree with what the theory suggests that we as humans or even as students or teachers create our own understanding of knowledge and meanings through reflecting on our personal experiences.   Students play an important key in class. The lesson should involve also the students. I think that it’s a very positive aspect that this theory obliges in a way students to be active and to be involved in the process of leaning. We as future teachers should guide students and we should give them more responsibilities.We should not be the only one participating in the class. The lesson should not be teacher-oriented. But we should make it as an discussion. In this way students will be involved and they will be more interested or even more active during the process of learning. In conclusion, I totally agree with this theory but we should keep in m...
