Today is a Thursday but at the college it was Friday classes. Today's class featured one microteaching. It started with Kaitlin's microteaching.
Kaitlin's microteaching was on the scientific me. It featured a slide on drawing a scientist and Kaitlin asked the class about what we drew for a scientist and why. Then once there were some answers given like white scientist. Then Kaitlin showed a video about mad scientist made in 1988.
After Kaitlin's microteaching , it was a working day in the classroom. Dr. Smirnova came around and made sure that each student in the classroom was doing their e-folio. If there were any questions about the e-folio we (the class) could ask her (Dr. Smirnova) and she could help or clarify the question. I worked on my e-folio.
I liked the video on the mad scientist.
I think that it is a good for the teacher to give the students independent work to do or group work to do and for the teacher to go around and to see if the students have any questions. I also think that it is a good idea as a teacher to make sure that the students are on the right track with doing classwork. As a teacher I think that it is a good idea for teachers to go over and to make sure that the students understand the criteria for the assignment. It is important as the teacher to give the students a working day in the classroom to work on projects especially if doing group projects so that the students can get together with their groups. Teachers need to make sure students understand assignments and have enough time to do the assignments and to make sure that the students are doing the assignment correctly and on the right track with the assignment. It is also a good idea for teachers to make sure that the students are clear on what the assignment criteria is about and to clarify if any of the students have any questions when the students have a work day in the classroom.
