cr: http://thejournal.com

In first MP Class, Pak Jeff (my lecture of this course) ask me and other students in class to create an imagination about technology in the future that use in classroom. He ask us to imagine something about technology that can make us easier to do teaching and learning process beside the technologies which we have now. Pak Jeff ask us to write in the paper and then share it to the class.
This is what I wrote at that time:

*The Question:
As a teacher, what technology can be use in 4 years time from now in teaching?
*My Answer:
I want to have a flying eye camera which can flies away in class. I want that eye watch the students during the test when I'm not be in class. If there are students who are cheating in the class, then the eye can remind them not to cheat with splashing the paintball. So, I would know the culprit who cheated in the class, then I can give them a detention for what they have done. ^___^

Yeah, that was just my imagination with technology in teaching and learning future. I hope I really have that one. hehehe... :D

[UET] English Teacher and Storytelling

cr: www.dec.ny.gov

In, UET class, we had lesson about storytelling. As an english teacher, I think storytelling is important and an obligatory things to do in teaching the students. With storytelling, students can improve their listening skill and also speaking skill when they also do the storytelling in the class.

Analogies, anecdotes, parables, fables, metaphors and idioms are all storytelling methods for imparting wisdom or making a point. Frequently, such methods represent a far more effective way to achieve this than through a plain presentation of facts. Here are five tips to help you find your story voice.

1. Leap and the net will appear

Start turning personal experiences into stories for your presentations. It's important that you remember that experiences don't automatically equate to stories, it's how you relate them that does.  Sharing such experiences innevitably requires you to be willing to talk publicly about what are essentially private events. This requires a leap of both faith and imagination, however once you have taken the initial plunge you wil find that you quickly become comfortable doing so.
