Interactive whiteboard

For a while, standard whiteboards have been used commonly as a way people can share messages, present information, and engage in collaborative brainstorming and idea development. With the same cooperative goals in mind, interactive whiteboards have the ability to connect to the Internet and instantly digitize tasks and operations.

The interactive whiteboards are effective tools for improving learning, communication and collaboration.
While some students are auditory learners, absorbing information efficiently through the spoken word, others are visual learners. Interactive whiteboards give people the opportunity to absorb information in multiple formats. This helps increase retention and synthesis of information.Interactive whiteboard images can be saved and printed, so students do not have to take notes during the discussion. This allows them to participate in the learning or collaborative session at a more focused, engaged level.

By integrating an interactive whiteboard into your learning or office environment, you can encourage participants to collaborate in a shared work area. This allows students to become part of the process, rather than simply recipients of prepared information.

# How to become a better teacher

In my opinion becoming a better teacher is not much different than becoming a better artist or farmer or architect or engineer. Most broadly, improvement in teaching can be reduced to a matter of prioritization, practice, reflection and refinement. If you do anything long enough, the theory goes, you improve. It’s hard to argue with that idea. You practice walking so that you can walk, drawing so that you can draw, and speaking a foreign language so that you can speak with someone that speaks a different language than your own. Each of these skills are different in the abilities they require, but all can be improved through practice. What do you guys think? Do you also think that practice is the key? There is also another question for you guys,feel free to express your opinion :) -What are the qualities of a good teacher and why do you want to become teachers?

Cooperative learning

Hello everyone I hope you enjoy reading this :) On July 15, 1982, Don Bennett, a Seattle businessman, became the first amputee ever to climb Mount Rainier (reported in Kouzes and Posner 1987). He climbed 14,410 feet on one leg and two crutches. It took him five days. When asked to state the most important lesson he learned from doing the climb, Bennett said without hesitation, “You can't do it alone.” The lesson learned by Bennett is one that we should all take to heart. If classrooms and schools are to become places where people achieve worthy goals, they must become places where students, teachers, adminstrators, and other staff cooperate in pursuit of those goals. Such cooperation must be consciously implemented until it becomes a natural way of acting and interacting. And it must take place at all levels of schooling from the classroom to the school to the district. Cooperation in the Classroom In every classroom, no matter what the subject area, teachers can str...

Methods in teaching

According to academic research, linguists have demonstrated that there is not one single best method for everyone in all contexts, and that no one teaching method is inherently superior to the others. Each teaching method is based on a particular vision of understanding the language or the learning process, often using specific techniques and materials used in a set sequence. The main methodologies are listed below in the chronological order of their development: Grammar Translation – the classical method Direct Method – discovering the importance of speaking Audio-lingualism – the first modern methodology Humanistic Approaches – a range of holistic methods applied to language learning Communicative Language Teaching – the modern standard method Principled Eclecticism – fitting the method to the learner, not the learner to the method. As mentioned above, the modern language teacher doesn’t follow one rigid method, but applies the Principled Ec...
