Hello everyone!!
 After reading about project based learning I found it very interesting and beneficial method for students to deal with. Students should be given a real-world problem that they need to solve in a creative and authentic way. To do this, they would need to study, understand , research , then use their writing and speaking skills. In other words  a project~based classroom allows students to investigate questions, propose hypotheses and explanations, discuss their ideas, challenge the ideas of others and try out new ideas.

Writing Objectives

 In our profession writing clear course objectives is important because objectives define what you will have the students do. Objectives provide a link between expectations, teaching and grading. Clear objectives can help the instructor design lessons that will be easier for the student to comprehend and the teacher to evaluate. A properly written objective tells you what specific knowledge, skill, or attitude is desired and what method of instruction and criteria for learner achievement are required. The ABCD method of writing objectives is an excellent starting point for writing objectives. In this system, "A" is for audience (who are your learners?) , "B" is for behavior (what do you expect them to be able to do?)  "C" for conditions (Under what circumstances or context will the learning occur?)  and "D" for degree of mastery needed (how much will be accomplished, how well will the behavior need to be performed, and to what level?).
 

Cooperative Learning.

What i understood from the videos is that the Kagan Structures are actually revolutionary strategies different than traditional teaching that some teachers choose to use. After watching the materials i felt motivated and inspired to put in practice cooperative learning for the reason that this method of teaching  gave me the impression that it could be very beneficial for both teachers and students. As researches have shown, with this technique students see the procedure of learning with a positive perspective. Furthermore they appear development of thinking skills and improved social relations. They also tend to participate more and to achieve highly records of success. Except from that children trained by Kagan structures tend to show caring attitude for their classmates and discipline problems  among them are almost nonexistent. For these reasons as a future teacher i would definitely choose to use this technique because except from student friendly is teacher friendly too due to its easy and time saving structure.    

Hello everyone! this is my first attempt to write on the blog. Although  it may seem early I would like to share my so far experience about this website.
First of all, when I realized that this subject is gonna be about technology and more specifically the use of technology in classroom I felt very intrigued because I thought that it would be very innovative and useful subject to use in my future teaching methods. Nevertheless I have to admit that it appears to me a bit difficult and complicated. But this may came as a result of my unfamiliarity with the blog so far. Despite these, I will do my best to succeed in this subject and furthermore to add this technique in my teaching and learning style and routine.
Finally, i would like to wish good luck to all of my colleagues.
GOOD LUCK!!
