What is it all about?
|
| |
| What is this section doing here, anyway? |
| |
| Imagine that you have just finished teaching a lesson about old
|
| as well as modern poetry and you are contemplating how to get your
|
| students to digest the material, repeat it, have a deeper understanding
|
| or just learn it in a more visual way. |
| |
| The traditional methods are valid and we use them, but what can be done when the
|
| classes are big and the students are very different in their abilities?
|
| |
| Here we propose to develop teaching units that will help us teach in such an environment.
|
| |
| Each teaching unit consists of a Web. Page (2-3 pages) where there are 4 kinds of links associated with it:
|
| - Power point presentations, at the pupils' level of understanding, about the topic (we are considering graded
|
| levels of presentations for advanced students). |
| - Interactive worksheets about the topic. |
| - Power point presentations, for the teacher, to summarize the needed information to be covered in the topic. |
| - Links to updated and relevant internet sites about the topic. |
| |
| All these teaching units were prepared according to the guidelines of the Intel "Teach To The Future" international |
| program manual as well as supplementary help from the Intel company support team. |
| |
| In the current course, our students work in pairs and some of the preliminary examples are shown here. |
