ENHANCING LEARNING BY ENGAGING STUDENTS
Creating a PowerPoint slide show has been very challenging. I had never used it before and I acknowledge it is a valuable teaching tool that can really get students engaged in a lesson. Using a PowerPoint presentation can significantly reduce Teacher Talking Time (T.T.T) and increase Student Talking Time (S.T.T), turning teacher-centered lessons into student-centered ones.Coupling this technology with the techniques suggested in the article (Teaching Large Classes II - Enhancing Learning by Engaging Students) by Rick Finnan and Donna Shaw will inevitably transform my class. As a matter of fact, they will bring variety and increase collaboration in my class.
I have not started the implementation of the project step because my school was engaged in the organization of mock exams ( First Cycle and Second Cycle end-of-year Examinations) which are prolonged with a two-week's holiday. As soon as we resume with school, I will see to what extent the implementation meets my expectations.
The problem I have to cope with is getting a projector in order to have a screen larger than the one of my laptop.
