Reflection

In 22
nd
April 2013, I continue teaching grade 10 WordPress. My aims at the end of the
lesson that students will be able to know how to change the blogs appearance like:
theme, background and custom the design. Moreover, they will know how to add new
post and trash it. In addition, they will know how to add new page and make it in
order. I think that I achieve most of my lesson objective. The students like the way of
introducing the lesson when I let them to re-design the cover page of the notebook
and they are really enjoy it because I link the importance of the appearance with their
real life. Moreover, they feel very excited when I give them the challenging task
without any help from me. I just give them a keyword in YouTube and another
support website to help them to do the task. However, I do not go in depth in the
appearance because of the time problem and changing the classes that happen in this
day. In the next class, I will print out support handout with the steps for the students
because it will help them to work with their project later. I think that it is very
effective way to teach the new generation by scaffolding them only and try to
discover their abilities and let them improve it.
