Mia's assignment (The Fourth Week)


1.How can you use Multimedia in your classroom ?

*I usually create my handouts with powerpoint for students. The blackboard is too high for me,so powerpoint really helps me a lot. And I save much time to write information on the
blasckboard,then I can walk around the classroom to see my students what they are doing.
*When I taught reading ,I find the videos or audios of these materials for students. They were impressed by them.
*Before class, I often play some flash about English jokes for them. If they behave well, I 'll give a reward of playing videos for them.
*I have used students' own pictures to make some media shows to teach them grammars.

2.What do you want to use Multimedia in your classroom ?

*I want to use publisher in my teaching. Every year of Mother's Day, I can ask students to make cards with pulbisher for their moms.But all words have to be in English.
*I learned some new functions about powerpoint from Stacey. That excited me. I want to do more cooler designs in my powerpoint handouts.

3.How do you a digital camera/scanner or other multimedia devices in the classroom ?

*I often use digital camera to take some pictures from grammar books. I am poor at painting,so
I took pictures directly from books. That's really helpful for me.

Mia's homework


1. How do you use Word processing software ?
I use it to make a syllabus, a lesson plan,worksheets, and create tests. Also, I use it to create place cards for the classroom.
2. How do your students use Word processors ?
They use them to keep a diary, contact with their teachers, and do homework.
3. What else would you like to do with WP? think in terms of students tools/ assessment as well as teacher productivity.
I think teachers can design their assignments on the blog or put them in the blog, then ask students to write correct answers in the blog. They can share experiene of learning each other, or ask teachers questions with it. Maybe some shy shtudents can be more active in learning.
I think students also can study at home by distance learning. It is a great way for students.
Students can review the same lesson many times. And this way to learning is more comfortable for some students.
