Hey everyone. I'm really enjoying my "Teachers Institute on Parliamentary Democracy" which started today in Victoria. Here I am enjoying some down time relaxing! Just kidding! I was posing for this picture. Because we are not having class tomorrow night, I would like you to watch a video of your choice from TED. If you are familiar with Ted Talks, you'll know what I mean. If, however, you have never watched a TED Talk, google "ted talks" on your computer or phone, and you will be asked to choose a topic. One of my favourite TED speakers is Sir Ken Robinson. You may want to check out this talk, at https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley Anyway. When we meet next week, I will ask you to share what you watched and what you got out of it. Until next week! Enjoy!
Hello Best class ever 2018 and Best Teachers Ever
ReplyDeleteAs we all agree ESL learners love games to make learrning fun and interactive I wanted to share with you this great interactive app called Kahoot.
It is easy to use,inclusive and highly engaging.Moreover students take control of their own learning.It can mobile and tablet friendly.I think it is a good move to use technology for effective learning.
Students love it!!!
Great Vandana, I agree that ESL learners would have alot of fun with Kahoot! I can remember the first time I played the game when a young couple was giving a lesson on Cambodia before they went for a missionary trip to Cambodia. We branched off into five small groups as they posted slides, and it was really incredible to see the historical landmarks, history, currency, and the name of genocide leader in the 1970s, the rouge army that carried out the atrocities. You could ask me the same ten questions 2 years later and I could answer those same questions as I can recall brainstorming the ideas before our group percentage of answers came up! It was my first time playing Kahoot as a spontaneous technological game and it was fun, interesting, and memorable!
