Hello, Iam Zahra =)

I was responsiable of teaching my collegues about Google Documents.


Throughout the 12 years i have been studying in school, most of the time we had the lesson delievered to us. Teach: "Ok students open the book page 36, today's lesson is about .. and so on". Sometimes we would be carried aways with our oen thoughts!


A new teaching method should be enhanced! A way that will break the normal routine, and actually allow the students to be envolved.


I found Google project was totally a break of the routine. I got to learn about totally new topics!

I did know that Google provides various of tool, such as {search, images, .. } but never knoew it had many many tools! and we call ourselves technological people!


i had to start from scratch, i did not know about Google Documents i had to learn all about it, its tabs, options and toold everything. This had to be taught to other girls.


In my opinion i believe that this method allows the information to actually stay in your mind for a long long time. After all, delivering a lesson is not as usefull as sitting and getting the lesson taught to you.


I got benefited from the feed back as well. I got to know my weaknesses point and my strenghtes as well. The feedback was not a dissapointing. I was flatterned with the streanghts that i had, but i needed to work more on the weaknesses point, such as {dividing the time suffeciantly}


One last thing to add, one thing i am worried about is, if we get tested on the topics i am worry that we do not get the handouts from the girls.


Lastly i believe that most students if not all of them got benefited from doing a lesson themselves. :)


Thanks,

  1. Excellent reflection! By the way, the "teach to Learn" concept has been around for more than 2000 years.
