Elena Pepa B 2020

Hi everyone. Wishing you a good week, the topic for today is E-assessment. I am going to talk about its importance in education. E- assessment is valuable in education    for so many reasons. It has a great potential benefits for students and increases students’ engagement to the topic.  When E assessment is used properly it gives the students the feedback they need and allows them to improve, progress and build their own confidence. The use of such e-assessment makes it more realistic for students to get the feedback needed. So, online assessment are conducted with the purpose os measuring, evaluating and judging the students work. In the last, assessment were usually in the form of paper and were handed out manually without the use of technology. But nowadays, you can create assessments online, using technology. But why to use online assessment? First of all, the use of e-assessment saves time and money. They can be completed in less time, and multiple students c...

•Hi everyone• Hope you are all doing well, since we are no longer in lockdown all the time.  Let’s have a look on this weeks’ topic. As we know, assessment is a key feature of today’s educational system. It is a way to compare students’ improvement throughout a period of time. We, as teachers, use assessment to gather information about students progress and to make judgements about their process of learning. The purpose of this is to reflect on student’s improvement, to see how have they improved their language skills and to customize their teaching plans.   Students need assessment. Im saying this because of my personal experience. I always needed my teacher’s opinion or judgement in a specific situation, it encouraged me to work harder and to improve my learning skills. That assessment is so important is very obvious, but the real question is why it is so necessary? Okay, here we go, because there are so many answers to this question: The teacher uses assessment ...

Hi everyone!  Hope you are all doing well. As for today’s topic, we are going to continue with DDD-E model but this week with developing phase. At this stage we gather all the elements of multimedia, including images, texts, animations, sounds, audio and so on. So during this phase we deal with the design and use of multimedia. The teacher is supposed to guide the students and to facilitate their learning process by making suggestions when necessary. The students, this way would be more encouraged to keep learning. During this phase we can make use of different media elements, because they are beneficial to students. They motivate them and make them feel effective to the teaching process. Also they attract students attention, making them part of the lesson by participating in discussions, giving opinions and so on. Another valid point is that is gives LIFE to a presentation. It gets rid of that monotonous feeling. Is something different, something new to the students, som...

Hi everyone! ☺ This week i am going to talk about design phase of a presentation. Designing a project is, perhaps is the most difficult phase of all, because we have to think in detail how our presentation is going to be, what should we take in consideration before we design it. So during this phase we present our key features, for example the structure, target audience, use of materials, presentation programs etc. The design phase generates a variety of different outputs, such as flowcharts, PPT, photos, clusters etc. Combining all these elements together can result in a very interesting presentation. In the design phase one or more designs are developed, with which the project objectives will be achieved. But one important thing is that once the design has been chosen, it can't be changed later on. Educators should assess students work after each step of the Design phase to make sure that they are meeting all requirements of the lesson. For example,the teacher should be able t...
