Hi!
A whole week of real discovery and creation, I feel very entertained! I have read all the suggested articles and I was eager to read more so that I can achieve a better performance. Reading about how to make our PowerPoint slides very dynamic and interactive has made me think more about my audience making them part of what I can produce. The point is that our students must not only react to our slides but also interact with them. We -as teachers- have to feel the difficulties that learners face if they are not involved in our presentations. They can easily share the responsibility of learning if they are doing something with what we present. In my class many children can produce their own slides and if I assign them a free project they can create nice simple but very meaningful presentations. They can understand better if I actively engage them in a game or a quiz or even a reading comprehension activity provided that it will be interactive.
Practice makes everything perfect! And this week was full with practice. It’s true that I have known how to use PowerPoint since ten years now but still the time of rediscovery, that pleasure to produce a purposeful task and share it with others. I feel a great relief when I finish constructing some full of life slides and the next day invite young learners discover them with me as if we were both the producers and consumers! I hope the same feeling is shared by us all because our students should exist in anything we produce for them!

I had that look for the options into power`point.
But I feel happy and I share with you my work.
I think students will be the benefits of our learning.
besides it helps us in our classes.
I hope that in my school I can get the computers and We can apply this knowledges.
I think that this form We can adapt to our students and oue teaching, because the material many times don not cover our requirement.
Finally, I am sure that students will enjoy with this material, so to allow evaluate in specific form.

Hi, Khaled,
ReplyDeleteEngaging our students in learning and helping them take responsibility in their learning are really crucial, especially nowadays when there are so many other stuff that can distract their attention
I am excited to know that your students can carry out projects and be guided to think independently. This is one of the very important skills for students if they are to succeed in the future. I feel happy for them and that they should be thankful for having a great teacher like you.
Thank you for always sharing your ideas and experience.
By the way, because of some technical problem, I couldn't have an access to my old blg. Under Robert's approval, I started a new one. This is the link. http://yalingliao.wordpress.com/
