My Ninth Day at Nile

What things have you covered in today’s sessions?

First of all, we have checked whether we could use all the features on Quizlet. We filled in a checklist and I realized that I am able to use nearly all of them properly. In the afternoon session, we have prepared our presentations using GoogleSlides based on some articles that our tutor has assigned to us. Here is the presentation that I have done. This is a photo of me taken during my presentation.

What technologies have you been exposed to?

We have been exposed to more features of Quizlet. We created our own flashcards and invited other people to do the activities on our page. We really enjoyed the activities. I even tried to learn some numbers in Polish. 

How might you use the technologies/techniques in your own teaching and learning?

I might use Quizlet in the class to teach vocabulary. My students can also access to Quizlet outside school and enhance their vocabulary knowledge. My students can also enjoy interactive games and tests on Quizlet. They can do some pronunciation work on Quizlet and improve their pronunciation. Furthermore, they can practice spelling through some tests and games.

What value would these techniques/technologies add to your teaching and learning?

As long as my students have access to the links to the activities I prepared for them, they have a great opportunity to enhance their vocabulary knowledge. I can also print some of the study sets and prepare some handouts for my students.

What challenges do you foresee?

Some of my students may not have internet connection at home, or they may ignore doing the tasks unless they are assessed with grades. Also, some teachers may not have enough time to organize tasks on Quizlet since there is an ocean of vocabulary there to be edited and revised.
