Online Micro Teaching

I think I enjoyed most of my lesson. One thing I disliked about online teaching was not being able to see the facial and boy expressions of the learners. I could not judge the way they thought the lesson was.

The new skills I have learnt in this experience was using another digital tool (blackboard) other than zoom and skype. I learnt that you need to be more interactive with the learners online, it shouldn't be teacher centered as the learners would get board and would not pay attention to the lesson. I had to keep the lesson interactive from the beginning and not only at the end.

I think I would ask the learners to put their camera on for me to be able to judge their facial and body language.

I think I used appropriate tools to teach my lesson as my lesson was very engaging, the learners enjoyed typing out some of their answers as well. They felt like they did not have to talk as much and their answers were available for them to go back to it for the follow up questions that came in towards the end of the lesson.

This experience has developed me in a way that I could in the future teach online lessons. I was prepared and know what I need to work on to make it better.
