About Me
Hi my name is Lily.
I'm a preservice teacher studying at the University of Southern Queensland. I'm in my third year and on my fourth professional experience. This website was created for a Grade 2 class that I'm teaching during my professional experience. The class is quite chatty and energetic. So far, I've had little success with worksheets and explicit teaching. So I've tried a different approach. I've created a short lesson on calendars in a fun and engaging way to appeal to their interests. Using a website allows me to step back from the spot light and just be a facilitator for the children's learning. I've been having trouble getting all the students to listen when I'm explaining a task. I have a very quiet voice which doesn't help and I end up trying to compete with them. I'm hoping that the voki will be more interesting and the students will listen. It also serves the purpose of introducing a problem which the students have to solve. The videos are mostly age appropriate and are catchy. I haven't tried songs with this class before so it will be interesting to see how it goes! I hope you enjoy! |
