prezi

by this week, our lecture has tough us about using prezi.

WHAT IS PREZI ?

Prezi is a cloud based presentation software. Prezi is distinguished by its zooming user interface which enable users to zoom in and out of their presentation media.

HOW TO USE IT ?

Prezi is used as platform for bridging linear and non-linear information, and as a tool for both free-form brainstorming and structured presentation. Text, images, videos and other presentation media are placed upon the canvas, and can be grouped together in frames. Users then designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects. For linear presentations, users can construct a prescribed navigation path. And surely you need to sign up first.

If you wanna get more detail about prezi, just click this URL file: www.prezi.org

And this is my first prezi

Describing the ABCD behavioral learning objective

In this week we learn about describing our class to be through describing the ABCD behavioral learning objective of my class, you can visit this URL http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/learningdesign/objectives/writingobjectives/ for more information about behavioral learning.

here is my behavioral learning.

a.       Audience – who are my learners

I have 32 students in my class. All of them are intermediate level, they are second grade of senior high school. Commonly they master English, but not the grammatical, because they speak English in their daily live by ignoring the structure.

b.      behavior- what do I expect them to be able to do ?

by joining my class, I hope my students able to communicate English in daily conversation well.

c.        condition-How ?under what circumstances will the leaning occur? What will students be given to know to accomplish the learning?

Before I going to teach, I will ask my students what theirs difficulties at before class, then I would like to explain them. By using some text book that in line with standard curriculum. To make easier in teaching sometime I use some technology, such as laptop with internet connection. I use projector rarely if  I offer them some material that they need to watch.

d.      degree-how much ?

after joining this class I hope I get 100% for what I have though them. But no body perfect, they have different ability,  and fortunately most of them could get  80%

REFLECTION 3

SETTING UP LEARNING GOAL

I am teaching at a senior high school of a bilingual boarding school, there are 32 students. Most of them are familiar with English because they are accustomed to use English in everyday life, it becomes one rule of a boarding school. Unfortunately that they are used to ignore structure in using English, so that some of them are less controlled in grammar using. But I can conclude that their English proficiency are in intermediate class.
For this situation I suggest that they should learn how to use English grammar right, in this moment I used to tried to familiarize them with the conversation at the end of the conversation I will correct the grammatical errors, and we have discussing related to structure. But I often get them to write, because writing can be directly repaired and easy to understand. Sometime I divide my student in some groups then they may finish their task together that they have to consider in front of the class.
At this school, a language lab and computer lab are available, but internet access is limited, it just provided for teacher only. So sometimes I just use language lab and also suggest my student to go to WiFi zone that outside of boarding school to find some material that good for they get. But sometimes for listening section I used to use tip recorder or my own laptop. So by used to write, listen, and speak they will improve their English skill, especially in grammar.
So I hope by used to repair their grammar, and keep their English environment their English skill will be more perfect.

that all about my class.
