We had to put together our taught in previous classes and a prepare at least one learning resource, what we can use with our learners.

Reflection

Which ICT tool did you use to create a motivating activity?

At course session we made PPT + Word document. We try to put all new things what we have learned (hot spots, interactive text box, hyperlinks to MS Word document from PPT. In MS Word - we used forms).

We made a resource for English lesson PPT and Word documents.

In everyday work in my lessons I use:

• Mindmapping;
• PPT;
• Intenet;
• Google - search, map, g-mail,g-talk;
• WIKI;
• HotPotatoes;
• CamStudio;
• Classmarker...
  

How would you use this tool to maximize your learners' potential?

These things what we use to made our resource for English lesson I can`t use as it is (look were are links), but all these things I will definitely use as a computer teacher in my job. I can creat learning materials for computer science, and these materials will become more usefull becouse:

• Learners will become more active in the lesson;
• Information will be more attractive and visualize;
• That kind of materials develops thinking and memory;
• Lessons develops students creativity;

How is this tool or resource particularly suitable for your specialist area/curriculum?

These tools what we used are very suitable for my job, becouse I teach them to my students already: and the most important is to teach students how to use these programms starting from beginning till more complex cases. I can teach all these interesting thinks - how to do it - the same as we learned, and also use it to made my lessons more creative.

How did you feel about your demonstration? What went well? What could be improved or done differently?

I felt very well. but there was one problem if you use forms in Ms Word you can`t use hyperlinks to other documents, because hyperlinks dosen`t work (you have to close forms and that means you switch off hyperlink opportunity.
