Contact days in September 2013

2 days of contact days in September in Oulu have brought me new learning experiences on various teaching methods and technical teaching toolkits, group work and etc. I would like to say that these classroom teachings were very energetic, interactive and fun to make group works. It was absolutely a worthy time of making progress in my leaning.

Most interesting part of the learning would be Pecha Kucha presentation. For the presentation ready, I spent many hours to correct my narrations fit into 20 seconds. And how to organise and constructing the ideas in 20 slides was also quite a useful lessons. When we shared the presentations, it helped me to know about my classmates and to build our team spirit. Also I am sure that quite much of the presentation images will stay in my long-term memory :) as like the following photo taken from Oulu.

 Another interesting part of the learning was group activities. Using QR code in the activities led us out of the classroom and got to know about the school environment and staff.  After we have done 3 different group activities, we’ve learned about how to motivating students, what learning and teaching styles are, and ineffective and effective teaching and learning and so on.
