what are our roles ??

Today in class we talk about "teacher's personality" and our teachers were Dreny, Katherine and Nicole.

The presentation was very interesting because we discuss about different teacher's roles as for example a monitor or informer teacher.

I think that it is important to be aware about our role in the classroom as a future teachers, because we will work with people and we will be part of their development.

As a future teachers we have to be prepared to face different difficulties in the classroom, and the way that we face these situation is part of our role as a educator... we have to be alert !!!

Our classmates gave us some practical hints to improve our role... :

• Move around the class


• Anticipate problems and act quickly


• Have any extra material ... Just in case !!


• To look the students when they are talking to you (eye contact)

Bruno Bozzeto... LiFe... an interesting flash film !!

Bruno Bozzetto is an Italian cartoon animator, creator of many short pieces, mainly of a political or satirical nature.

During the class we watched a Bozzetto's flash called LIFE... This video is fascinating, and it has a lot of detail that are interesting to analyze.

After we watched the flash, we disscussed in groups about the flash.

I think that every detail represents our reality, but I consider that the main idea of this video is to show us how we are destroying the world...

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The last class, my group presented the first micro lesson of the class and our topic was: "CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT".

We talked about different things in relation to the manage of the classroom. I consider that all teachers should know, for instance, the way teachers should use their voices for being heard, and how student should be placed in the classroom.

I believe that all our class had some idea about clasroom management but, I think that now, they know more than just a concept, they know techniques to reach the objective of every teacher, to be a leader.

If you are a teacher, Would you like to share your opinion with me?

Please if you have something to add, do it.

I'll be glad of reading your words.
