I have
learned two things this week. One is teaching large classes, and the other is
interactive PowerPoint. I read the suggested articles about how to engage
students in large classes and checked the given links
that provide resources to help teachers get the job done. Also, I followed the
instructions of how to make an interactive presentation step by step, implementing
some techniques and adding Action Buttons as well.
Giving proper individual guidance in a large
class is extremely challenging. Teachers can easily find excuses of not trying
to create a student-centered class simply because lecturing is just a very
effective teaching technique if you can ignore the fact that there is no
interaction at all. Thus, how to give interactive lecture sounds more plausible
for me under the circumstances, and I found Interactive Lecture Techniques, http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/interactive/typesoftechniqu.html,
provides many doable techniques that are worth trying.
