Let’s Start! Assignment 3

This is the week I start my assignment 3 practical.

Wasn’t nervous at all because this is not my first time doing it. i prepared my  3 weeks plan so now i am fully ready to deal with  my kids.  But I am concern about how to go about with assignment 3 papers or works that I need to submit to USQ. I am afraid I do it the wrong way and submitting wrong information.

I have gone through the study desk now  have more ideas on it.

The following table provides an overview of the components of this assignment.

%	Title	Description
5%	Learning journal	As per assignments 1 and 2
10%	Preparation	500-1000 words. A description of your Professional Experience context and how you plan to integrate ICTs into the lessons you teach.
5%	Lesson plans	5 of the lesson plans you taught on Professional Experience, including reflection.
20%	Evaluation and lessons learned	1000-1500 words. Evaluating your ICT integration on Professional Experience and identifying lessons you've learned for next time.

I hope that I will have better understanding for this Assignment 3 after attending the next following class on Saturday.

Wish me luck! Hope I score well for this subject!

I found lot of good information about my friend kathleenkan blog. she updated us on practicum scheduled for 3 weeks and other information related on assignment 3.. have a look ......

Finding idea for my lessons

Always I research activities before going to teach my children. I believe there can never be a successful teaching without a careful organised lesson plan. Lesson plan are vital component of the teaching –learning process. Proper lesson planning will keep teachers organised and on track while teaching, thus allowing them to touch more help students reach their objectives more easily and manage less. 

The better prepared the teacher is the more likely she /he will be handle whatever unexpectedly happens on the lesson.

Some my friends always told me that they don’t have time to write lesson plan in every day. I think in that case the teacher may use ready plans and keep it in different computer folder. Because for later not to spend too much time trying to find correspondence materials.

I found my friend isabellairvine.wordpress.com and zoeg logs i found lot of resources which is helpful for our teaching.

Preparing for teaching practice

Nearly one week closer to my Professional Experience I am beginning to think of critical questions I must ask the school before I arrive. To be prepared for my classroom context, I must know;

- The students and their diversity.

- The available ICTs in and outside the classroom (library resources)

- The teachers belief of ICT integration

So I made I list of things getting to know before start my teaching practice

ü  Visit my prac school and meet my teacher or mentor and get familiar about the school activities and classroom

ü  Decide year level and curriculum going to teach children

ü  Plan some activities for children

ü  Dress code

Also I research some tips for professional practice too.

v  Always  be early or on time

v  Be professional – dress cord, looks appeal

v  Be flexible – you do not know what the teacher you are going to work with will be, what the demands are, what needs they have of you, so be ready for anything

v  Be friendly with all the staff – they will help you

v  Plan ahead – briefly you can give some idea ideas to cooperative teacher, or find some values that you have will just make the experience a lot better – keep a good pace in your classroom – do not panic if you feel little behind – you can always ask other teachers to help

v  Be cooperative – work with people and helps a lot

v  Give it your all – give all your effort to learn teaching – it will get a lot of years to get into it

v  Observe as many teachers as you can

v  Know your limitations and boundaries and call your union when you are in doubt

v  Work on a classroom management  style – it takes time to learn your curriculum, it takes the

v  Do not be afraid to seek out a better situation – if this does not work for you, move on
