TP 3 - Self Evaluation

Hello, During today's TP I reflected upon the importance of monitoring students one by one. Sometimes, while I was doing it, I was thinking that monitoring each student may prove to be timely and less effective; however, having shy students asking questions and clarifying certain concepts helped me realise that individual monitoring helps a lot to relate with the quite shy students; it helps you create a relationship of respect with the students. Furthermore, having students working with the NXT robots on the floor, although it might give the impression that they're wasting time and playing, is very essential since they are having fun roaming around the classroom rather than participating in a convential type of lesson. In addition to this, students seemed more likely to pay attention and get involved when they are free to use a larger area of space. Hence, I'll try to as much as possible create experiences which involve getting students out from behind their desks and taking an active part in the lesson which they feel they can relate to. That's all for today!! :)
