Electronic Whiteboards and Its benefits

-

Hello Guys!! ⭐️


Today we will be getting deep into the world of teaching with whiteboards, a very common and useful resource. We even used it in our first session!. 


An electronic whiteboard is an excellent presentational device. It has the potential to do much more than only virtually every other classroom, it also provides a tool for interactive teaching and learning. 


We call Interactive teaching a two way process wherein the teacher modifies her approach in response to the needs of the learners. The interactive teacher is keenly aware of the learners and their different learning styles. All good teachers are interactive teachers. It is not possible to teach effectively without interaction. 

Interactive learning is also a two way process but the learner may be interacting with the teacher, with peers, with resources or with all three. 


But, how can an electronic whiteboard support interactive teaching and learning?

It is proved that computers have always stimulated interaction between children. 

Mostly, when a computer is used for interactive group work it can stimulate collaboration and a high level of on-task discussion. The screen enables all children to share a common experience, a single keyboard forces the team to reach consensus before any entry can be made, and the presence of an external focus can help with the development of social skills.


However, It is not always necessary for children to interact physically with the electronic whiteboard, the teacher can be a mediator. Sometimes it is okay for the teacher to hold the pen to model a particular skill or concept, but more often than not the children should be directing what is happening on the screen. Some applications lend themselves to pupils’ use of the whiteboards, and there can be no doubt that children enjoy working in this way.

Hello everyone! 💗 We are back with a second lesson — and this time we’re continuing our journey into emotions with the focus on the behaviours. To start this lesson we will use the picture book ,,The Colour Monster” by Anna Llenas. This book will guide children to recognise, name, and talk about feelings and also start recognise what actions might influence the feelings.  As the story is read by the teacher, children pause to think about what different feelings look like, how they might feel in their own bodies, and what they do when emotions get big or confusing. After that children will be given a writing worksheet to complete in pairs. In this way they will practice their writing skills.  The lesson will end with a reflection about digital safety. To get more familiar with our lesson we prepared a lesson plan.  Topic: Emotions & Behaviours Title: How do I handle my feelings? Objectives and goals: Define empathy → Discuss characters’ feelings in The Colour Monster...

Hello everyone! 👋 Today we want to share our next lesson, which focuses on empathy, emotions, and positive behaviour through the visualisation of the short film Joy and Heron . This activity helps children recognise feelings in others and understand different perspectives. We’ll start with a short discussion about empathy. Students answer questions like What does empathy mean? and How does it feel to show or receive empathy? They will look up the definition online to build interest and digital literacy. Next, they will watch The Joy Story: Joy and Heron . As they watch, children pay close attention to the characters’ expressions and actions. Afterwards, they answer a few questions to check their understanding and discuss how the dog showed empathy, why kindness matters, and some other questions. Then, students will do a creative task of writing their own ending to the story. This activity encourages imagination, and writing practice in English. To finish the lesson, the class re...

Hello everyone and welcome back to our blog!!👋💘. Today we're going to explain lesson one of our learning situation. In our first lesson we will explore emotions through different activities that combine language learning and technology. We will begin by watching a short video from Inside Out to introduce the topic and help us think about how emotions are shown in everyday life. Then, we will use an emotional board to recognize and classify feelings, followed by an interactive practice with games where we will use the verb to be to describe emotions in English. Finally, students will take part in an Internet search activity to discover more examples of emotions and how they are expressed, making the lesson creative, engaging, and connected to real digital resources. Topic: Emotions & Feelings Title: How do you feel? Objectives and goals Enumerate emotions → Introduce and practice emotion vocabulary. Classify emotions → Sort basic vs. more nuanced emotions during vocabulary w...
