Distance Learning

       I have been working as a teacher more than 10 years now. Sometimes I can feel very confident in at I am doing but at the same time in this kind of dynamic life now when daily changes happen in all the fields, I say to myself “I should not stop learning and it is never late to gain a knowledge”. “The most effective, successful professionals are constantly learning, they take the time to apply what they have learned, and they continually work to improve themselves”, (Gardner, 2020).      Since we have entered Covid times, distance learning and E-learning have become an ever-increasing reality for the learning of today. As many nations have closed their doors on in person learning to help curb the virus that has invaded many of our lives, the learning process has had to evolve and be taken from the classroom through the screens of the students and into the home. As a teacher, the thought of sitting at a screen, trying to teach phonics, math, and sc...

Online Course on Google Classroom

  In this post I would like to share and write about the activities I have created on Google Classroom. One of the requirements of our Innovating Learning and Teaching coursework is to create an online course for students where workload for students is 6 hours. I have created a class named “Reception Bears Preschool” in Google Classroom. This is the link to my Google Classroom   https://classroom.google.com/c/NDYxMzA0MDc2MDc0 .    Class Code is "f7io2xo". In my online course I have decided to create two topics “Maths” and “Phonics”. I have created assignments, one quiz assignment and materials looking at Early Years learning goals for 40-60 months (4-5 years old) old children. As I work with young learners, and I don’t give homework to my students. Therefore, I have decided to use Google Classroom as Continuous Provision at Home Learning for my Reception students. Students can do it at their own convenient time. This is not compulsory for all the students. Contin...

See Saw

  I recently wrote about the university, and higher education app, Moodle. In that writing, I spoke about how its interface is much more designed with older students in mind. I alluded to the fact, in that post, that there are apps online that are also aimed at younger students. In this week's blog post I will briefly discuss one of those apps, Seesaw. “Seesaw is a simple way for teachers and students to record and share what's happening in the classroom. Seesaw gives students a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology”, (Seesaw, 2022).   Seesaw is an interactive online classroom that allows teachers to create individual journals for their students. Teachers create a classroom on the app and will load the information of all the students. The students will, on top of the classroom space, have an individual learning space that is personal to them. Upon the creation of the online classroom and individual spaces, a classroom code is generated...
