week6


Hi everyone.

This week I learned Interactive Lecture techniques.

We can use Interactive Lecture techniques in any size classroom.  I especially would like to try Just-in-Time Teaching. I have never tired it before. By using Just-in-Time teaching, you can save time by reviewing students’ response to see what to focus on in the class. Instructors only have to make web-based assignments and students have to respond before classes. The advantage is that I do not have to put so much effort to implement Just-in-Time Teaching, and I can go over students’ responses to guide them to understand the main topic of lecture.

 I sometimes use PowerPoint in my classes. Before taking this course, I did not have any ideas of making interactive PowerPoint. I would like to use PowerPoint slide master to make some quizzes. PowerPoint slide master enables me to make different kinds and levels of questions. Students make a pair, and choose the questions and exchange ideas.
By using the PowerPoint slide master, I can check if my students understand my lecture.

 This week, I learned some techniques that I would like to use in my future classes.

    Hi!
    As you mention, we read and discussed many concepts that are useful for future lessons. Interactive Power Points was also something new to me, and I feel that I would like to go on experiencing with all the possibilities it offers. You say that you often use Power Points in class, which makes me think that I could use them more often. Perhaps I could have my students make Power Point presentations and teach them what we learned about regular power points as well. this week collaborative learning was a powerful concept, too.
    By the way, I love your blog!
    Best,
