I will call Dictio-Taxi a TRUE Project

Image
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...

A couple of things you might need while teaching in the future.

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.

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.

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...

Group Work Explained Through Memes

Image
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...
