micro teaching

The micro teaching aspect of this module was one that i was looking forward eagerly to.i must be crazy to say this especially when it involves having all eyes in the room fixed on you and minds scrutinizing your every move and waiting to tear you apart after your presentation!(that was the case for my other CS subject!hehe).thank god we had great classmates unlike my tamil classmates who portrayed their roles of students very well, not forgetting Dr Chang who was impressive in his role which gave me the impression that it came naturally to him!i can imagine how he would roasted his teachers!haha..just kidding Dr Chang.

Pushpa, Li Yong and Huiyi got the ball rolling for micro teaching. they tackled the topic weather and climate and i must say they did put up an effective lesson.

we were handed worksheets which we had to complete as the lesson progressed which proved to be effective in keeping us focused on the lesson.i liked that aspect alot.moreover they also required us to paste our answers on a chart.this provided for effective interaction between classmates. i believe this would help discussions to take place too.

finally we were instructed to do a project which would have to be submitted in a few weeks. the project in my opinion was well thought of because it kind of summarised all that was taught.moreover i liked their project because it presented students with a wide range of choices.they did not have to restrict themselves to using the powerpoint to perform their presentations.i feel students would appreciate such a move esp when teachers inject new ideas into their lessons.

on the whole it was a wonderful lesson which only pressurised the rest of us as we had to reach the standards that they had set!!nvm we will do it!!!
