Webinars


To be honest 3 hours of videos on YT are not easy to watch. And the fact is that I couldn't see every minute of them but I found some things which were more interesting than the rest. The difficult thing with webinars is to get rid of monotony. According to different researchers a highly motivated student looses his attention after a couple of minutes and without a teacher being there to raise or lower its voice it becomes even harder.
I liked the fact that the webinars started with the polls on "why are proverbs useful" and "why is grammar difficult". I think that it is good to know the opinions of other people and it is even better to see that you share the same ideas and beliefs with some of them. This makes you aware that pretty much you are all seeking for the same thing.
But one thing that might be difficult to be managed during the webinars is commenting on different topics and questions that are thrown in the course of webinar. I think that it is impossible for the teacher to read them all and most of the comments will go unchecked. The students as well will not produce good quality comments because they are going to be more focused on who is going to comment faster rather that who is going to comment something smart. To make things worse the chat box ribbon is constantly moving and it is very frustrating.
On the other hand, the level of interaction is moderately high so there are an endless number of possibilities for different opinions and ideas that might spring up on the spot. Let's suppose that you read something a friend of yours has mentioned and and idea strikes you and you further elaborate on it.
I must admit that the webinar on Proverbs was more interesting and attractive than the other. This was probably because I was trying to find the counterparts of the proverbs in Albanian language. I will write a proverb that was on the video and you will try to give its counterpart in Albanian.
Chew on this: "If it ever were to rain soup the poor would only have forks." The object on the picture is part of the proverb in Albanian.
Feel free to comment!

    I saw those videos just like you did It was really boring as they were too long, but they served for something in the end. I do agree with you about the 2nd video as it was more interesting and funny to me. That picture with the drum made it much easier to me to remember our albanian counterpart. Kur bën dasmë fukarai çahet daullja😂.

    I understand the struggle with the videos, I would say that just like you the proverbs were really interesting and I was trying to find how is in Albanian. Really funny the proverb and just like the girls I thought the same. :)

    I agree with you on saying that though webinars may be useful, the part on reading all sts comments becomes a little bit impossible , 😂😂 they would really be oike a " daulle" then.
    All in all , I like the way you have reflected on the Webinars .

10 Things to Check before Your Project Delivery.

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....

Interactive PPT and Teaching Experience

Image
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...
