TPACK TEACHING ( CONTENT, PEDAGOGY, TECHNOLOGY)
A good teacher is the one that when takes a content from the C.V, is able to study the way of how to transmit it, in a way to make it appealing for the student. That is called PEDAGOGY. That skill not only requires long experience, teachers also should be willing to become good professionals as they have to be prompt to teach and learn from students.
When I was
assigned the Star role, the first though that came into my mind was, how to
make a dull content such as recycling, attractive to my future 6-year-old
students.
But first I went
to the compulsory and recommended pages I had to read before creating my own
presentation, and I have found quite interesting tips:
· Raising the issue objectively.
· Tell what normative gap is intended to be
alleviated.
· Design a schedule to follow.
· Making clear our objective.
· Simple explanation.
· To know the audience composition.
· To be able to connect to the audience
emotionally.
· To set up good stories able to
emotionally awake the audience.
· Being passionate, gesturing, asking
questions to avoid silence.
· To passing them your passion and joy.
· To create a topic and memorize it.
· Before the presentation, be prompt to
prepare it.
· Exposing your topic loud and clear,
trespassing the audience with your look.
· To close the topic with a good
conclusion.
· And a good phrase to close your
exposition.
As a future
teacher, and having in mind that my audience were going to be 6 year old
children I wanted to add all the tips, but in a creative way, and even though
there was a great tip of how to create good slides in order not to distract
your audience, I took some advices and discarded others.
The ones I have
considered:
· Good quality images.
· Not to write long phrases on it.
· Being accurate with words.
· Simple.
· Using the colour well.
The ones I have
discarded:
· They should not be gaudy. Some of them
were.
· I
should not distract the audience with lots of images. I did.
· The transmitter should not be on the
second level. I was.
Why did I take a
different path?
My audience were
not going to be adults, on the contrary they were going to be children. I believe
that having great and colourful images, help children to evolve their
cognitivism in different aspects.
I have
distracted them with fantastic images, because I wanted to motivate them, with
a topic like recycling, I wanted them to feel the teacher passion.
And teacher has
to interacting with them I went on to the second position, letting images talk
on my behalf, because I wanted them to be the stars.
Finally music
should be compulsory in primary education, to inspire our children, that was
the reason for me to play a stretch of music.
WHAT STEPS DID I
TAKE TO FIND GREAT Creative Commons IMAGES?
I went on to the
Flicker page and searched creative recycling for all ages, and after selecting
a wide variety of them, I have only taken the ones that could match accordingly
with my presentation.
But I wanted to
thank every single author, so that I have registered in Yahoo images with the
nickname of Sianita41. I did it with every picture, because is a nice way to
let them know that they are doing something great.
After that I
started to create my presentation. I have really though that it was going to be
easier, but it wasn’t. Creating simple and touching tests was a challenge and
more difficult that I believed, it took me time and consideration to think on the
way to make the subject interesting. But when you are motivated there are not
mountains high enough. SO I DID IT. I feel proud of the presentation and now I
do know that my aspirations to be a good teacher are becoming true.
Frustrations:
I will make a
constructive criticism. I have been preparing the presentation during three
days. I tried to perform well because one of my weakest points is that when I
have to expose in front of a big audience, I get very NERVOUS, and as hard as I
always try I am not able to overcome this.
For that reason,
I trained a lot home, in order to be confident. But what happened when I came
into the class? I found out that there were not remote control, and that would
not help me at all. The other fact is that sound did not work and even though I
could foresee the problem and I brought my laptop, the presentation was not as
successful as I have expected.
Therefore my
proposal is that It would not be a bad idea that before presentation started
for all groups, we all should make sure as professional that we are to talk to
the teacher asking her to supply us with gadgets, such as the remote. I am sure
that next time if we all collaborate we will succeed.
The "Cold
Play" song has been replaced by "One Big Holiday - My Morning
Jacket" that were Creative common licenced.
Here you have
the slides and the written presentation.
Have a look!!
ORAL
PRESENTATION
Intro: Good
morning everyone!!
I was counting
the days to welcome you to the … subject of..citizenship education …. And I’m excited that all of you
are here today.
In these days,
our planet is changing very fast, we humans consume more than we should, and
our planet begins to look like a factory of grey smoke.
We have a
fantastic and unique world! What can we do to avoid its deterioration? Can’t we
teach also adults to take care of the ecosystem?
Start: Recycling
is a good way to star today.
What is
recycling? It is when you take old materials and break them down, so that they
can be used to create new material.
Some facts…
Where does trash go? Landfills.
· Glass can be
broken down and 70% of it, when melted can be recycled.
· Metal is
recycled by melting it into new blogs called ingots, one of them is made of 1.6
millions of cans!! That is a lot of soda.
· Paper when
mixed with water can be recycled up to 7 times, as fibbers start to break down.
· Plastic is
hard to recycle when mixed. Often involves high-energy chemical process.
Recycling…
sounds pretty boring, doesn’t it?
Change –
Body: So, let’s talk about artistic
recycling!
There is no age
to start being creative, nor an age to stop being it.
(I’m sure all of
you are very creative and you can help many adults on being inspired again… and
follow the three R’s REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.
My dear kids,
there are plenty of discarded materials around that can be collected and
transformed to new objects.
Glass can be
turned on to a fantastic light sculpture.
We can make a
nice key holder from metal.
To make a nice
puppet using toilet paper
Even a dress can
be done with paper!
Plastic bottles
(difficult to recycle) used as flowerpots.
You can also
create nice sculptures with reused material; some famous artists are already
doing it and living on it.
And do you know
it is even possible to build a very nice house from discarded material???
RECYCLING IS A
SMASHING IDEA KIDS, NEVER REFUSE TO REUSE.
Now, I have a
new question for you: What could we
achieve if we all were able to get all these following ideas together?
GOOD HABITS
RESOURCES
EXPRESSION
ART
TEAM WORK
ENVIRONMENT
RECYCLING
ECOLOGY
CREATIVITY
OPTIMISM
End: When we
finish this course, if we are able to blend all this terms you will become the
artists, the architects, the magician of the future, the guardians of our
planet starting to create from simple to complex to decorate our world.
Changing the
world is in your hands.
Let's create
this recycling workshop together!
I truly believe
that together we CAN make the difference.
START SMALL,
THINK BIG.
