Teacher of the 21st century

Hi guys! This is my last post where I put a link to my Prezi. The topic is 'Intercultural communication'. This is a super interesting and useful lesson for students with an advanced level of English. There are also some exercises for you to do. I've got them while being on exchange program in PL. Here is the link! Enjoy my Prezi and have a nice day!:) https://prezi.com/p/pmykuofihfmo/

Here is the last module of my webinar! Here I was given to watch a video of Angela Lee Duckworth - Grit: The passion and perseverance. She is saying that growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail. To be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned. In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. I also had few books to read: Palmer "The Heart of a Teacher" and Dewey John "My pedagogical creed"

In the 4th module I was given to read a book that is called The Lure of Learning in Teaching.

In the 3rd module I was given a film to watch. It is 2012 academy award nominee - best foreign film "MONSIEUR LAZHAR". The story is set in Montreal, where the beloved teacher of Year 6 class has abruptly passed away. Having learned of the incident in the newspaper, Bachir Lazhar (Fellag), a 55 year old Algerian immigrant, makes his way  to the school and offers his services as a substitute teacher. He's in the right place at the right time, and is quickly hired to fill in.

In the 2nd module I watched a NYU sociologist, Dr. Pedro Noguera, from his unique perspective. At the ways in which schools are influenced by social and economic conditions as well as demographic trends in local, regional, and global context. And if that's all not enough I could put my thoughts down and write about the preoccupations and observations offered there about what teaching does to teachers. And in some ways even more importantly, what are the ways to side step these social and emotional pitfalls? I was also given a video of Sharon Horesh Bergquist "How stress affects your body". Our hard-wired stress response is designed to give us the quick burst of heightened alertness and energy needed to perform our best. But stress isn't all good. When activated too long or too often, stress can damage virtually every part of our body. Sharon Horesh Bergquist gives us a look at what goes on inside our body when we are chronically stressed. https://youtu.be/v-t1Z5-oPt

Hi guys! Today I started my 1st webinar related to the topic "The Teacher's Social and Emotional life". This first module I began by taking a look  at the teachers' own social and emotional learning. A teacher must now the students as a person. And this means that the teacher must strive for self-knowledge and understanding. Teachers nee to understand themselves, especially their own social and emotional terrain. Deeper teacher self-understanding, facilitates and enhances deeper students relations. Modules 1 & 2 focus on the teacher's well-being, and teaching and education as transformation. In module 3, we examine sadness and despair in teaching. Module 4 deals with joy, passion, and enjoyment in teaching. And finally, module 5 discusses grit and wholeness in teaching.

We are living in a world of technologies now and can't remember our life being different. The humanity has made many discoveries and invented lots of mechanism and devices which have simplified our life significantly. We got acquainted with lights and sound and explored their characteristics which helped us to use them effectively. The radio, the TV, the telephone was invented and enabled us to get in touch with each other, learn about what is happening in our native city and all over the world. The humanity never stopped on the way to unexplored places and even planets! Dear teachers, here are handouts for you related to the topic "Science and technology" with the level B2.

Hi guys! I want to share with you a really useful article. It has attempted to review the rationale behind ICT use in education. The writer of this article have also tried to classify ICT tools and their use in ELT. Some of there tools are designed for communication while others are made to help learners be creative. Language skills can also be developed through ICT's. Following the link you will find out more about advantages of working with ICT tools, ICT tool classification, E-creating tools, E-communication tools and so on! https://www.myenglishpages.com/blog/ict-tools-and-english-language-teaching/

Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the Universe, but nowadays it's the only place where we can live. People have lived on our planet for many years. They lived on different continents, in different countries. Environment is everything in the world around us that surrounded and affects all life on earth, including the air, food, water, plants, animals and other. Our ecology becomes worse and worse with every new day. Many species of animals and birds are disappearing nowadays. People destruct wildlife, cut down trees to make furniture. They forget that people can't live without trees and plants, because they fill air with oxygen. It's a bit difficult to teach young learners such topic. That's why you can give them some handouts related to learning of nature and animals that surround us.

Hi guys! I've found an article for you about ICT in the classroom. In the article there is written that you can find more disadvantages of using the ICT while teaching. There is mentioned that the addition of ICT's to learning in educational settings is inevitably problematic. The new digital modes of learning destabilise and decentre the existing 'orderings' of classroom practices and alter the conditions for pupil and teacher learning more than can be seen in marketised photographs of students staring longingly into screens in self directed learning, or indeed that is apparent in the surface detail of our own extensive collection of digital video of students using computers in lessons.  https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c39d/ab65ea416774d9f668e9f7aa131f823b078c.pdf

Here are handouts related to the topic "Health" with the level B2. You're welcome to use them:)
