I cannot really remember the number of projects that I have don in this faculty but I can remember some very good projects of mine. I can fearlessly say that Dictio-Taxi has been one of the best projects we have done. It can be translated as a very practical work of some students and teachers in the Faculty of Foreign Languages that will help Albanian taxi drivers. I am still thinking of sharing some of those booklets with real taxi drivers near the school building or in other areas of Tirana. We started it slowly and at the beginning we were a little bit idle and somehow baffled of what was to come. The other projects were nearly done while ours was still an idea. However we were not afraid of this whole thing because we were aware of each-other's skills. In a couple of hours during a shinny Wednesday at Moonlight we managed to give life to the whole project. Several adjustments were done till the 0 hour. BEHIND THE SCENES: At 9:00 I was at the Faculty. There was a man there t...

This subject has been unique in itself. It has taught us a lot of valuable things that have to do with the implementation of technology in the classroom. The teaching of a foreign language can be demanding and we need to be well equipped with the necessary knowledge to deal with this profession. I would like to share some things that you might find useful in the future. This are general things  that have to do with editing photos video creation or things that can really save you a lot of time. 1-Video creation is more than necessary when we want to create a real learning environment. I would suggest using oCAM which is a free program for recording videos while in your PC. You can use it's hotkeys to control the recording of the video. When you want to create a video from scratch you should start from google photos. However there might be cases when you want an image from a video playing on Youtube. Then you can use Snipping Tool which is a default program installed on Windows 7 a...

Just wanted to share some more memes with you! Hope you don't find them relatable! 

I cannot really speak or understand the ants' language but I am sure that the key to success for them is more working and less time-wasting. Lately I have been part of groups with great potential and the pace of work has fallen equally upon all of us. In most of the cases it doesn't happen like this. The work is not equally divided among the members of the group. In every group there is at least a specialist of the field, the funny guy, a nerd that does all the work and the noob that never understands what is happening. Refer to the meme above and the latter is the guy with those glasses. Completely on the wrong direction. If while reading you were thinking in which role do you fit you better stop it. In most of the cases we all have been a noob in something or a specialist in another. These are just stereotypes because in the real life we are a mixture of all. One of the key components of a progress is working in groups they say. But I see the attitude of the group toward...

I am referring to those 20 minutes you will be in front of the class as "project delivery". The content is something that must be genuinely yours. I am going to give some advice on how to avoid technological hiccup. 1-Make sure your laptop works by checking it a couple of hours before coming to schools so you won't be surprised by any unexpected boot fail. 2-When using someone's else laptop make sure that all the keyboards work in case you want to play any game online. 3-Turn off the antivirus so it won't delete your file from a possibly infected USB. A laptop format service costs only 1000ALL. And NO! You won't lose any of your data. Data is saved at "windows.old". 4-Always check if your laptop has a HDMI port. If not you have to find an adapter. 5-Check if the videos are shown on projector or not. Press FN+F5 from keyboard and this will make the projector act as the primary screen. 6-Make sure to rehearse everything that you have prepared....

Do you know that moment when things  get out of control? I can say that this thing has happened with the PowerPoint presentations nowadays. People just overuse it. Nearly all lectures are delivered through PPT presentations and it is becoming more and more difficult to find something genuine. The opportunities PowerPoint used to offer are running dry. Let's say we were surprised seeing a video as part of a ppt presentation but now it has become commonplace.  If one wants to make it as interesting as possible he/she needs a lot of creativity and play with animations, shapes and forms. We must also be extra careful for any technological hiccups.  However if we know the proper way to use it, PPT might result a huge success. It gives us a vast number of possibilities to shift off the traditional way of making a presentation. Using hyperlinks makes your PPT look like a decent web page. With a single click one can switch from the ppt presentation to the desired link...
