Towards the end of the final project

Hey bloggers,
My final presentation is this Wednesday and I am working on the final details of it. As you already know( and as I have mentioned a thousand times), our topic is about idiomatic expressions. We plan to include a fun video with plenty of illustrations and also two interesting exercises. Mikela and I have really put a lot of effort into it because we want to do a good job and more importantly, to fulfill our class objectives. Anyway, I am not revealing anything since I want it to be a surprise for you all.Hope for the best! See you in class...

How does multimedia influence teaching

Hey bloggers,
How was the weekend? Had any chance to sit back and enjoy yourselves? Here it is another week that we have been assigned a new task for the blog. Since we are asked to incorporate technology in our final presentation, we had to think through why is technology important. Nothing can be used without a purpose or a good reason behind it! Since my topic is "Teaching Phraseological Units" to intermediate pupils, multimedia plays a crucial role. That is because idioms can only be taught through repetition, repetition and more repetition since there is no logic to it nor a stated rule. Technology comes at hand at this points so as not to make the class boring, but instead very attractive and entertaining. I must say I am very excited about the presentation which is due next week. I believe it will definitely be a valuable experience! Enjoy the rest of the week guys.

Teaching Phraseological Units

Hey guys!
The assignment for this week was to define the specific skill we are going to teach for our final presentation. I have chosen vocabulary and more specifically phraseological units or as they are otherwise called, idioms. Mikela is my partner in this presentation and we intent to put lots of funny pics and stuff in our video and presentation in general in order to make the class relaxed and more attentive.  Multimedia is going to help a lot to make this project attractive and entertaining for our class.

Working on the final project

Hey bloggers,
How've you been? Well, this week's experience was far from being anything new to us. It was not about discovering a new app or an innovative way to experiment with multimedia. Instead, it was something of which we are so accustomed to deal with- I am referring to the first efforts we have made to our final presentation. This assignment got me into thinking a lot and trying to picture how my final project will look like. Now that I have established some important features such as the goals and the target group, I feel myself more positive and confident that I am going to pass this through. Wish you all fellows the best of luck with your presentations too.

WebQuest

Hey everyone,
Hope you enjoyed the weekend and the day off. I guess we all had some spare time to check out the blog and complete the assignment of this week which I have to say, was a real challenge for me. Had it not been for our incredible classmates who are always willing to give us a hand, I'd probably still be struggling with that. Nevertheless, the experience with the webQuest was very helpful for creating our project because now I have a clearer picture of what WebQuest is and how I can put it to work.
