Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. For this week's topic i chose to write about evaluation and assessment. Both of them are very important , most important one's in teaching programmes. Assessments that are given to students help teachers to have a better evaluation and give the best or well-deserved marks to each of them. Most of professors use evaluation as a way of comparing the performance of each student , so they can understand who deserves the best marks and who deserves a little bit less. There are some teachers who take in consideration only the final exam and do not give credits to the work students have done during the whole time. In my personal experience,  i have faced such a thing. Working hard during all fhe time and then seeing the teachers taking in consideration only what i wrote on the final exam. Assessments are important. They push  students to work harder. When we evaluate ,we are making a judgement on the performance that students provide. After...

Hi guys, hope you are doing well:) In this post I'm going to write about Develop Phase-Media Components. These components play the most important role in our final presentations. Let's show and explain some of them: -text; -graphic; -animations; -audio. Let's begin with the text. As far as you are concerned it plays the key role. The way we write , how do we show the most important words , whether it is worth shown in bold or not ; these are all the features that make us work carefully on it, making it as simple as we can for those who are going to read it. We also should focus where to use capitals and words in bold to attract student's attention and make them have interest on what we are going to explain later on. It should not confuse them. Graphics are those which bring a presentation to life, make it more interesting and funny. They can be created from computer programs or can be imported from an existing file. They make the presentation more colourful....

Hello everyone, This week's topic is about Design Phase. Design plays an importan role when creating or doing PowerPoint presentations. We are coming to an end to our projects and this model helped us a lot. Design phase helps us to organize information , to put in there images, videos ,make it more interesting for the students. There are some factors that influence this phase. I can mention: -outlining the content, -creating flowcharts -specifying screen -design guidelines When we say ' outlining the content' we are talking about  the the target audience, what audience are we going to teach.  If we know that , we'll also know the proper exercises we should prepare for them.  I've finished with the outlining of the content in my project where I've targeted my audience and the way I'm going to teach them.  We all created flowcharts in our presentations. Almost all of us have created them by using computer programs.  I should stress out some of them to...

Critical thinking helps us to see more clearly what we know and what we need to know. It includes the ability to engage in independent thinking. When we think in a critical way , we can logically understand the connections between the ideas that we have. We also are able to solve problems in a systematic way. Grammar and vocabulary lessons are two of the most important to be teached and learned by the students. According to teaching vocabulary through critical thinking I can say that critical thinking takes that concept go further. We should know the relation a word has with other words. For example, one may ask themself which words belong together and make a list of those which fit with one another. So, when it comes to the grouping of words that fit together students start to think critically in order to make a distinction from other ones. In this case the lesson is no longer about memorisation but it is about remembering such words and use them after an activity.  One activity...

As we know technology has brought radical changes in almost all areas of life and education does not lag behind. Education is a crucial part of our lives, existing since the beginning of it and for sure it has not been as it is today. When students wanted to get information about something, they searched for it  in different books, which took them a lot of time. They did so because it was the only way; since they had not access in technology devices. Today it is more easier , with only one click thay have ready whatever they are looking for. It does not require too much effort and it is not a waste of time. When a student does not understand something , does not have to go and ask for the teacher, he/she can write an email asking them for what they do not understand. Students can take the advantage to ask their professor questions at any time , rather than waiting for the next class , when the question is no longer fresh in their minds. On the other hand students and teachers do no...

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. This week's project is about constructivism and ddd-e model. Constructivism is a theory in eduaction based on observation and scientific study; observing how people learn. We all know that teaching has changed a lot during this years. If a teacher wants his/her teaching be effective, it should be based in some good learning theories. It is important to stress that learning is an active process,  which means that you should totally engage on what you are learning through experimet or real-world problem solving. In this case knowledge is shared between teachers and students. Teachers have the duty to teach to students different subjects and to do exercises in order to be more easier for them to understand what they are learning, so in a way or another they share knowledge. But  there are not only teachers who share knowledge,  students also do the same thing by learning and getting new information. In this way they share that knowl...
