Week 3
As the pedagogy is described as ‘tool of teaching’, those blogs and PowerPoint are very good examples of tools. Since young children in this era were born in the digital world, studying on the computer via internet is much more common and friendly for them. The eLearning and PowerPoint are not only visual learning but also they can be interactive. For example, I could write the summary of the lesson and several practice quizzes on the blog, and then students could post their answers. Also when students work on presentations, they can utilize PowerPoint. After their presentations a teacher can upload all groups’ PowerPoints on the blog so other students can come back to what they learned. Therefore, I will be able to utilize PowerPoint as a follow-up tool.

I agree with you. I often use PowerPoint as a learning tool in my class. In my opinion, when I use PowerPoint, I can get more attentions from students. Using PowerPoint relates to bahaviour management for me. Students watch the PowerPoint slides carefully so they cannot be noisy.
ReplyDeleteActually, it is good point that PowerPoint could manage students’ behaviour as well. However, that means that teachers should create slides clearly and directly to key points. Otherwise, slides can make students confused and will make classroom chaos…
