11th class reflection

The eleventh class was about presentation. We were asked to present the notes given by the lecturer so that everyone can share the knowledge about one particular topic. It was good to have presentation and this presentation ware carried out by students themselves so that they can understand better the topic. There was a Q and A session at the end of presentation and here students can interact with each other thus creating an interactive classroom atmosphere. The presentations helped me in adding new knowledge, fundamentally about how to exploit and find the sources of appropriate material in spite of the authenticity, originality and adaptability of the material.

10th class reflection

 Microsoft Office Publisher (previously and commonly known as Microsoft Publisher) is adesktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is an entry-level desktop publishing application, differing from Microsoft Word in that the emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather than text composition and proofing. Microsoft Publisher 2007 provides simple story editing with Microsoft Word 2007, but unlike Adobe InDesign & Adobe InCopy, it does not provide built in XML story board and copy-editing support. Also, unlike the core Office 2007 applications, it does not feature the Ribbon user interface. (Wikipedia.com)

 The tenth class explored the use of Microsoft Publisher application. The task was (in pairs) we need to create business card and pamphlet and in group work we need to create a newsletter…Well, frankly speaking, I don’t have any knowledge about Microsoft Publisher. I thought that this software is for those who are in business or printing field…After my lecturer explained the use of Microsoft Publisher and I also explored it by myself, now I realized that Publisher is also can be used to produce new teaching aids like brochures or pamphlet.

 

 Here are some useful links on Microsoft Publisher tutorial. Happy exploring!!!

I learned new thing in the ninth class which was about this one particular website named http://www.onetruemedia.com. It’s an interesting website because we can mix our photos and videos with effect to create something that wonderful and beautiful picture and video presentation. It is a free website and if you want to log in you to the site, you need to create an account before can proceed further. Come and explore this site guys!!!! I am sure you will like it….

8th week class reflection

Wake up!!!!! Another task to be done… On 8^th class, we were given task which was Devising Resources for Teaching the Four Language Skills. This task required us to form a group of four people and develop materials that we want to use in the classroom. Alhamdulillah, I was not having major problem during completing this task. Thank you to my friends because of the ideas they gave to me for constructing an interesting listening activity. After completing this task, I’m realized that, as teacher we need fresh and creative ideas in order to produce an interesting activity. Thus, in order to be creative, I need to read book as many as I can and explore the good internet site so that I have knowledge and some ideas on interesting task to be done in the classroom. Besides, the knowledge in the soft kills such as downloading, editing and recording are very crucial to me as teacher to be so that I can manipulate any recourses that available to be used in the classroom in teaching and learning process.

Here's a few articles that i think are good to be share particularly about teaching four skills in English.
