Hello my friends  today we will talk about E-assessment. Firstly,  What is E-Assessment? It refers to the use of information technology in various ways to assess the performance and measure student learning. The concept of e-assessment was presented to overcome all the traditional pens and papers assessment modes. E-assessment is a precious tool in Education system for some reasons. It has a lot of benefits for students in terms of learning and memorizing the material as well as increasing their skills with their chosen topic.

Hello my virtual friends How are you feeling? Today I will talk about Evaluation Phrase. In every walk of life the process of evaluation takes place in one or the other form. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. It is only through evaluation that one can discriminate between good and bad. The whole cycle of social development revolves around the evaluation process. In education how much a child has succeeded in his aims, can only be determined through evaluation. Thus there is a close relationship between evaluation and aims. Evaluation plays an enormous role in the teaching-learning process. It helps teachers and learners to improve teaching and learning. Evaluation is a continuous process and a periodic exercise. It helps in forming the values of judgement, educational status, or achievement of student. Evaluation in one form or the other is inevitable in teaching-learning, as in all fields of activity of edu...

HELLO EVERYONE, How are you feeling today? Today, I would like to share with you an interesting topic. This post is for all the future teachers that are going to work on projects and they should know that there are certain steps that need to be followed in order for a successful presentations. I have explained in another post blog the DDD-E model and today I am going to explain more in details the first two steps. 1. DECIDE 2. DESIGN Deciding mean to decide on the theme of the project. Teacher have to chose a topic that meet the needs of the students. Also it has to meet the desired goals of the students. So it must include what the teacher wants the students to learn during and in the end of this project. Another important factor that you as a teacher should keep in mind is the previous knowledge of the students. The second step, which is as important as the first step is designing. To design means to organize the content, to structure the site to choose the l...

Hello everyone, welcome back in my blog. Please take a minute to think about this quote before you read "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think". Today I will not talk about vocabulary or critical thinking...but I will talk for them both as one and the question is not "can we use critical thinking to teach vocabulary?" but the real question in this blog is " How can we teach enough vocabulary without it?" Now you are probably thinking How?? I will give you an example. Lets suppose that you have to reach your vocabulary with ten new words and you try to memorize them by making two lists of the words that fit together. If you put these words in one list, you have one idea of what bring them together and this helps you to learn vocabulary. It is great, isn't it? But what you actually did is that you analysed the thing, then you engaged in problem solving, in cooperation and negotiation... Whe...

Hello everyone, hope you are feeling good and safe. What do you think when you see the picture? This is what we will talk about this week in this post...Technology Tools. What are Technology tools? Technology is booming in today's classrooms. Teachers and students have access to countless technology tools that help them instruct and learn.  Three top teacher tools include the interactive whiteboard, computer, and document camera.  Student learning is supplemented with tablets, clickers, and apps. There are a wide range of tools available for students, educators, and librarians. The key is selecting materials that are effective, efficient, and appealing. The twenty-first century has arrived, and it has brought some of the most advanced computing technologies into the classroom; this leaves us with a very important question, do we really need technology, such as iPads or computers, implemented in our learning plans? As a student that has taken entire cou...

Hello everyone, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are all feeling good and safe. Do you remember what we discussed last time? If not, I explained to you the cooperative learning and its importance in teaching. Today I will talk about the constructivist method in teaching and DDD-E. Maybe this is the first time you hear this word... What exactly is Constructivist method? Based on the belief that learning occurs when learners are actively involved in the process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information. Constructivist method is done by the use of: INTERACTIVE TEACHING, COLLABORATIVE TEACHING(Lets learn together), INTEGRATIVE TEACHING(putting together separate disciplines to make the whole), INQUIRY-BASED TEACHING. In my opinion this method of teaching is very productive and efficient. Now, you will probably be asking, what is DDD-E? I will give you the definition of each letter. First D means decide, to establish t...

Hello everyone            I hope from the bottom of my heart that you all are well, protected and safe. This is the post of the week and I will talk for cooperative learning. To be honest, I had to google it before writing. And I am sure that you are wondering what is cooperative learning? Well, cooperative learning is an educational approach which aims to organize classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. In other words, it is the process of breaking the classroom into small groups so they discover a new concept together and help each other learn. Studies have shown that PBL makes the class more productive than individual work. Students are in the center of the lesson and this increases their self confidence. Students teach students and this makes the teacher's job easier. Students are better prepared for the world of work, and so they know their path.. I have always thought of this method as a productive one. A good w...

Hello everyone, this is Iva! This is my second post and I am so exciting to share with you my thoughts about the topic I will discuss with you today. Since we had to choose the topic freely, I decided to talk about The importance of online teaching. Nowadays we all know that the Internet has significantly changed how we communicate, how we get and share the information. I read somewhere that technology wont replace teachers, but teachers who use technology will probably replace teachers who do not, and I totally agree. We should follow the rhythm of life, otherwise we will be left behind. Some say that Its a wrong thing to follow the trend, but I would say No, definitely not... Albanians say "Whoever is separated from the flock is eaten by the wolf" and this means that we should all walk in the same line. This is not the only reason, here are some other reasons why online teaching is important: First of all, online teaching increases flexibility of time. With online teachin...

                                 The use of Technology in Language Teaching and Learning Hello, this is your friend Iva. This is the first blog I have ever had and I am feeling very comfortable with this. It was a little bit difficult for me to open the blog and also to learn how it functions. But after I did some researches about it, I felt more confident using it. This is a new teaching method for me and as far as I know this platform, it seems a really good way for me to expand my knowledge about the use of technology in my teaching and learning. This is my first post and I would like to give my opinion related to the topic "The use of Technology in Language Teaching and Learning". Nowadays technology is an inevitable part of our lives and especially for children lives. Our job as teachers is to challenge the technology, in other words to make the learning process more intere...
