Assignment #1 – My Autobiography
When we use cooperative learning, groups also have some flexibility to pull small
groups and work with individual students or small ability groups during the lesson time.
This can arguably be a great advantage for us teacher with a classroom of 30 students.
There may be a need to work more closely with the 4 or 5 students who have the
highest learning gaps. Allowing students to independently work in small groups gives us
the opportunity to work with those individuals on targeted gaps. Use of cooperative
groups can allow for differentiation of instruction, depending on how we decides to
establish them.
One thing educators need more of is a flexible way to gain the knowledge and skills
they need to do their jobs better. Online learning encourages this by offering a variety of
schedules and times for asynchronous and synchronous learning. I choose this modern
trends also because there is no travelling cost as we teachers can work and teach from
home.
The use of wireless presentation Technologies helps teachers to easily find project
materials from a computer or a mobile phone rather than the use of a hard-wired
connection like a projector. Thanks to widespread connectivity and readily available
smart devices, teachers can engage in learning from almost any location without
worrying about potential infection due to in-person attendance. And again,
wireless means reduced touch – and thus lowered concerns over possible
contagion.
I choose this trend because it saves our valuable time which we can utilize in other key
activities. Exam Management tools help us in Planning the Exam, Creating Question
Paper, Question banks with their solutions, Exam results, and lastly the grading.
It is particularly important for school administrators in the field of primary and secondary
education management to enable professional development for us teachers, not only to
give our students the best learning results but also to be more effective and fulfilled
throughout various other aspects of our job as educators.
